  • Gary Sprake......................... of Leeds!
  • He made a clapping gesture after getting a yellow. Should of had a second for that.

    Yep. Ref bottled that one but he let them dictate his performance all afternoon.

  • Agree with all of that
  • Reading Sue Parkes' comments on facebook, I think Chris Powell is going to take the very unusual step of marking the ref low enough to warrant an FA hearing.

    The ref was running up the park with his back to him at the time. Lino must have seen it though.

    I tell you what, he wasn't. He was looking straight at him at first, and then he turned around and ran off with his back to him so he didn't have to deal with it. Bottled it.

    Indeed. He did it as the ref was looking straight at him. As he was doing it the ref just turned and ran off. Pathetic.

    Don't think the ref saw it, as he was running up the field. Not sure how the Lino didn't.
  • The lino's gave that ref no help whatsoever.

  • I don't believe a keeper has ever been sent off for time waiting either , so you can see why they do it.

    Like the sound of that, Algarve.

    Maybe nla has lent SCP his big balls...

    Will watch with interest.

    Fanny watching balls on the internet, it's normally the other way round.

    Absolutely spot on.

    We had a discussion about this a couple of years ago:

    Nothing's changed!

  • No nothings changed, i accept all teams timewaste but usually in the dying embers of the game not in the first half. But they did it with everything.
  • Disgraceful mob - never seen so many players rolling about the pitch like they had been shot

    I recall the 'good old days' when keepers would try to mark the pitch, taking scratched out lines from each goal post out as far as the edge of the 18 yard box .. this was banned I don't know when .. I have seen at least two keepers in the days before yellow cards, have 'their name taken' before kick off for this offence
  • Its somethig thats definetley on the increase.If i was a ref i would visit both dressing rooms before the game and warn both keepers that time wasting will result in yellow cards.I am sure a yellow card early in the game for a keeper would make them think twice.

  • What would help is the goal kick to be taken the same side of the goal that the ball went out.

    Spot on, the person next to me said "the Ref didn't see it as he had turned his back by then" no he hadn't!

    Hardly. Players always mouth off to referees after being booked, Morrison (whether you agree with the booking or not) afterwards went completely ape, and showed clear dissent far worse than a bit of minor sarcastic clapping.

    That's what did for Tim Flowers!
  • Actually thinking about it most keepers are happy to take a yellow particularly late on. Why not bring in a law that allows the ref to give a corner if a certain amount of time elapses before the kick is taken (once of course keeper has control of ball).

    Might be daft idea, but things like deliberate time wasting make my blood boil, it's just cheating.
