Mr Popodopolous Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 4 mins felt light. Was it a penalty? Look forward to seeing and judging again. Certainly worth shouting for. He wasn't awful but certainly not great. In general play was far unhappier with the one on Saturday as he appeared to be batting for Norwich.

steviestevieneville Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Stroud is now the pantomime villain but he’s far from the worst in the championship . Was never a penalty , thought he had a decent game . 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he still pisses me off. What was it, 4 2nd half Subs, 5 bookings , keeper down for 2 minutes and no end of time wasting. That adds up to 4 mins? Yeah ok Keith. You can’t blame Keith Stroud for only 4 minutes being added. The time is decided by the 4th official on the touch line. Imagine if Keith Stroud had ignored the 4th official and played a few minutes more and Wigan had scored the winner!

Dr Balls Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Thought all the on-field officials tonight were fine. Stroud booked a couple of theirs for time-wasting, plus both McClean and Sykes for their contretemps. Blame the 4th official for only 4 minutes of added time at the end and even then Stroud played 5+ minutes. If it was anyone else we would be saying how good the referee was compared to many we have seen this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sephjnr Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 He ended the game when we were 20yds out teeing up a cross. And we were the first to let him know this, especially as he owed us at least another minute from Wigan's 11 being a nob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC101 Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Others have already mentioned that Stroud had a decent game so won’t go into that, but also as infuriating as it is I also don’t think there was a strong case for more than 4 minutes being added. 30 secs for Wells sub 30 secs for Sykes and Bell double sub 2 mins for keeper being down during which the only Wigan sub in the 2nd half was made so wouldn’t get another 30 secs 1 min for time wasting - only contentious one but tbh consistent with the rest of the league Plus the already mentioned additional time on top of the 4 for the incident in the corner at the start of stoppage time So, annoying yes but I think we’d struggle to make a case to justify anymore than 4 being added.

Wigan were physical but with the exception of James McClean (who could start an argument in a phone box) they were a hard working, honest side. 10 unbeaten, another point on the board. Thought something happened at the end when players going down tunnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Why wait until the 95th minute to look to score a second goal. What is wrong with utilising the previous 94? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he blows for time on the basis of his watch, not who’s got the ball and what they’re about to do. If he’d let us get another cross in and it goes out for a corner…then what? Remember that ref in the World Cup years ago who blew for time just as the striker hit the ball but before it crossed the line?!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of knew that Stroud was the referee and expected another poor display and he was booed fore the kick off - I’ve never heard that before. His reputation preempted him. However he was fine. One or two ‘dodgy’ decisions like all referees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Result - meltdown on the forum OK, Being old school (and just old) I thought the Ref still lead the decision of how long to add. That said , and the fact that Wigan could have scored has no bearing, it is a minimum of 'X' minutes. Stroud has the power to add as much as seems fit, he did try to gee them up to get on with it, but then added virtually nothing on at the end. Personally I will be glad if they take the timekeeping away from Refs somehow, so the added time doesn't seem so random. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneTeamInBristol Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) Thought Stroud was actually fine last night for 89 minutes, very good in fact compared to his normal standards. But I have never seen a ref blow for full time with the ball literally 6 feet away from the attacking penalty box, irrelevant of who is in possession or how much added on time to the added on time is being played.

I don’t think so, just think he’s a very committed player who straddles the line of what’s inside the laws of the game and what isn’t. He can be a bit of a nob, likes a bit of confrontation, but that’s just the way he is, and the exception in the modern game. He is still a very capable player and you can see why he played lots of games (150+) in the Prem. 49 minutes ago, NcnsBcfc said: He actually played 5 mins 30 seconds (i always put the stopwatch on ).
