useless Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I wish something would be done to stop the time wasting that teams in the lead do in the second half of games now. Mostly via players pretending to be injured at every opportunity to waste time, it's getting to the point now where it's ruining games, when Trippier came off in the second half I'm pretty sure they knew he wasn't fit to carry on and he should have been brought off during the break, but they subbed him in that fashion just to waste time, all this time wasting to the extent it happens now was the kind of thing that Stoke used to do under Pullis and was seen as part of their uncompromising approach to the game and it put them in bad humour with everyone else and they were heavily criticized for it, now every team does it as par for the course. It's always happened to an extent, but now much worse and blatant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 7 minutes today for 3 sub windows, 2 long injury breaks, a medical emergency in the crowd and a lengthy VAR check. On top of a lot of time wasting. 8 against Leeds when we had 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick to one definition for a foul - we either play modern, non contact football or we play the firm but fair rules I grew up with in the 90s now we have a brush of a hand on a shoulder being VAR checked as a penalty but tearing a shirt off the opposition isn’t even a foul. Making me despise this game. How could it be a foul? The game had been stopped for an offside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2022 The refereeing today was really bad. But I think those that are attributing that to some sort of agenda against us are kidding themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 this letting stuff go bollocks is nonsense anyway. Refs will let loads go and then pull players up for breathing near someone. They’re too inconsistent to be given such freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way he could ever have an opinion on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Pawson is a dreadful referee, he definitely refereed another game for us recently and had a nightmare. Just checked was either the Everton or Arsenal game, oh wait he had a nightmare in both Premier League needs a proper review this summer in terms of refereeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, you’re in cuckoo land if you’re expecting a player to be given a second yellow for an off the ball shirt pull. I’m willing to bet it’s never happened before.

So are you if you think that was ‘shirt pull’ It’s an instant yellow card for any player to take their own shirt off, yet intentionally tearing off half an opposition players isn’t?

I'm curious - what is it if it wasn't a shirt pull? Mings barged Burn over and he reacted by pulling his shirt. It's a fuss over absolutely **** nothing.

Mings shoves Burn over, Burn gets up and bumps Mings, Mings pushes him back whilst Burn grabs his shirt at approx the same time.

foreveryoung Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 They didn't respect the ref at all today. Check out the free kick we had, took about a minute to get Watford back into line. I think he gave up in the end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
