Time Wasting

The Hairy Splinter · April 17, 2014

Swansea at Goodison last season was the worst example I've ever seen. They were at it from the very first minute. Embarrassing, it was.

Not disputing that we do it too (and I'd rather we didn't), but those 6 minutes were for the two head injuries, not for time wasting.

Did the ref tell you that himself did he?

If the ball goes out on the right hand side of the goal does the goal kick have to be takin on the right? Cos if not strolling to the left is just a piss take.

Wow, and who's going to be responsible for doing that calculation?

The same people who do the calculation for adding it on. Hardly difficult is it.

It is currently.
30 seconds per sub - 4 subs - 2mins
Plus what the referee deems reasonable for percieved timewasting - 2 mins

4 mins added time.

Team wasting time go behind.

2 mins added time goes on the board.

Not rocket science is it?

Palace didn't do anything wrong last night, they did what they had to do, it might of been really annoying for Everton but that isn't there concern. Pulis should be manager of the season hands down for the turn around he has done with them.

There were 6 mins of stoppage time.....

We used to have the ball boys take the mick when we were 1 up, and be really quick when 1 down.

Yeah, but how long do you think play was stopped for with the two incidents involving the medical team, plus 5 goals and 5 in-game subsititutions?

Plus, it's less to do with the physically wasted time and more to do with how time wasting breaks up the game and stops the other team from being able to build momentum. It's a form of cheating, by gaining an unfair advantage.

Well two wrongs don't make a right, and I don't condone that. I hope that sort of thing doesn't happen anymore.

I'd be all for neutral ball boys! But then they'd have to be appointed by the FA, and I'm sure we'd all end up moaning about that too

Should have been more than 6 minutes added on.

Home advantage, all teams do it.

Same with small away changies, or heating up of down in them, no hot water etc.

The stoppage just after we made it 2-1 was a bit of a killer. It prevented the momentum going forward. I mean if someone dives pulis is all over it, and you get all the "foreigners bringing diving over to England crap".

Well deliberate time wasting is still not sporting. And the two worst culprits are allardyce and pulis. Both English. But it doesn't involve foreigners so the media don't really mention it.

Fair play to Pulis and Palace though, they out muscled us and were tactically spot on.

Never seen any one booked like Baines before for a clash of heads, if he had butted their player which he didn't then it would have been a Red - I thought he gave them a lot of dubious fouls last night , and us very little!
