WessexPest Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 What really gets my hackles up is the way players take the ball to the opposite corner and attempt to prevent the opposition getting the ball and running down the clock. It is a terribly negative tactic that should be banned immediately. The rule was changed in 1992 so that defenders couldn't endlessly pass the ball back to the keeper for him to pick up and that has proved a positive innovation, so why such obvious timewasting is tolerated is beyond comprehension.

Apologies if I was a little brash with yourself. I have a lot of time for most posters on here, even if I don't agree with them. Robbored has quickly become a rare exception, due to his condenscention with the facepalms, and constant posts on threads he has no interest in, purely to remind us of such. Yet I'm loathe to block him because even he sometimes posts something worth reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 This has probably been mentioned before but giving out ******* bookings for everything, for daring to contest a header, for making a challenge with a little bit of bite in. Drives me crazy, football needs a little bit of blood and guts in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a similar basis, when a defender is shepherding the ball out over the goal line, but instead of shielding the ball just blocks or holds off the attacker and often backs into him. Should be obstruction but is never given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Cheating, pure and simple. Not sure how to stop it, but does my head in. Wasting time, diving, feigning injury, you name it. We are also pretty hypocritical about it, one of ours does it and it's just 'playing the game'. The saying 'he is entitled to go down there', as in, he can dive, but it's ok. And refs who think the match is about them. I need to sit down a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the argument is that if the ball is 6 inches away from you and slowly rolling out, then you are very much in control. Even the least skilled of players would be able to keep the ball in. Not saying I agree with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torbay_Red Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Jermaine Jenas and Robbie Savage talking like they were once world class pro's with a cupboard full of medals. W***ers Also, Jim White and everybody else at SKY on Transfer Deadline Day. Overhyped and usually nothing to talk about for hours but they continue to speculate about what might happen, even though most managers and admin staff are at home watching the TV.

All the other countries in the U.K. have their own national anthem but we English have to put up with God save the Queen. It's dreary in my view. I'd love to hear "I vow to thee my country" as our own national anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One BCFC Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 The fans who like to think they are hooligans who shout a lot but do nothing, and then say the other fans around the ground aren't proper fans for not joining in with lame chants.

MarkRed! Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Birmingham home last game.... I know they were fighting to stay up but their tactics were a disgrace. I dont normally get irritated but their wasting time over goal kicks, throw ins, injuries, subs was unbelievable.... I wish we had relegated them just for that horrific display. I think the clock should stop when the ball goes out of play and not start again until the ball is in play. How their GK only got a yellow card for time wasting in the 95th minute or so summed up how diabolical that game was.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this one of the things being consider by FIFA - but making the match 60 mins instead (being about the length of a typical game at the moment if you stopped the clock when the ball isn't in play). Not sure what I think of it really, alternative is for referees to be properly aware that one team is wanting to waste time, so they can add extra injury time/get the cards out more quickly for persistent time wasting.

I did not know this... hope they do it as it would prevent time wasting immediately. We have been done so many times by teams using these tactics and it is really frustrating as the Refs dont really do anything about it. It destroys the flow of a game.
