cidercity1987 Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Where did the cock in the middle get that from then? QPR spent the whole second half on the floor time wasting. I thought post Qatar and heading into this season proper added time was going to be played? Far from the reason we lost but clearly an absolute incompetence from the referee 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute joke. We were shite. He was shitter. But, we werent getting anything from that game the minute the final whistle went on Tuesday night!!!

Dredd Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 I've never been so confident with 10 minutes to go that we weren't going to score. Could be playing till next Saturday and we still won't have scored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 (edited) I expected 7 (same as midweek) there were 9 substitutions, masses of time wasting & at least 2 occasions when QPR players went down “injured” to stop the game. Mind you he only played 2 minutes first half & Bell’s injury delay was more than that. I didn’t particularly want to sit through any more than I already had, but the inconsistency in this is stark.

I too was surprised at just 2 mins in the first half. 6 in total across the 2 halves is pretty odd in the context of the game.

Far from the reason we lost but clearly an absolute incompetence from the referee It was astonishing, wasn't it? A time-wasters' charter. Their tactics broke up any flow or momentum, which was what it was designed to do. (We would have done the same, I'm sure.) To those that say 'we never would have scored', that's certainly possible. But we definitely won't be able to score after the final whistle. We nearly did from that late corner, and we've all seen very late goals in games. At least apply the laws properly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I have no problem with their time wasting , we would do it (I hope) in their situation . But going by what most think are the allowances , 30 seconds for a sub and 30 seconds for a booking before you get to anything else , it should have been a minimum of 5 . I know we could have played all night and not scored , and that's not the Refs fault , but when chasing games this is annoying . Another one I couldn't follow. From our corner the ball came over and before we could start a 2nd phase the Ref blew. A mate said the ball could have gone out, but the Ref did the signal for offside . Anyone have a better view ?

Offside wouldn’t have surprised me, probably quite tight at full speed when watching as a fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markthehorn Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 They had loads of rules to combat time wasting at the start of the season. Do they still add on lots of injury time or book players for it as much as they said they were going to? Or another one of those ideas that soon get forgotten about after a while..

I thought he gave it from the Corner kick , which is obviously wrong , and I couldn't see through people if there was a 2nd touch so I assumed he just got it completely wrong . Must admit I was clutching at straws by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted February 18 Author Report Share Posted February 18 It was an incredibly bizarre offside call. You cannot be offside from a corner, the flick on was going in and their player headed it over for another corner. One of our players was 'offside' from the flick on but the officials wouldn't seriously have disallowed the goal as there was no interference with the goalkeeper or any of their players. So why call it offside when their defender cleared? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 One of the worst fouls not given i've seen for a while was the tackle on Joe Williams in the first half. I was shocked it wasn't given. Look, we were poor and deserved nothing but the ref helped QPR's tactics with his performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
