Probably too soon for Balotelli vs time wasting FC

[Stuartmcateer]

. Far too often players get away with them for the first 30+ mins and will tell the ref it’s my first one like they’re supposed to get a freebie. Last time I checked a goal is worth the same the whole game so why does the policing change?
.

This is my pet peeve with time wasting.

For 85 minutes they let goalkeepers and set pieces take minutes to take a goal kick or corner and then in the last 5 minutes it's like they dropped food on the floor and want to implement the 5 second rule.

If you don't hurry them along in minute 20, you have set the expectations and as long as they aren't going past that late in the game you shouldn't change how you ref it mid game.

The answer is stop letting the early ones slide. No rule changes needed just better use of the ones they have. Far too often players get away with them for the first 30+ mins and will tell the ref it’s my first one like they’re supposed to get a freebie. Last time I checked a goal is worth the same the whole game so why does the policing change?

Once it starts costing sides red cards more frequently they’ll save them for when they really need to foul.

I think it was Brattan the other night who said to the ref 'it's my first foul'. It makes no difference. You don't get a free one. If it's a yellow it's a yellow no matter when it happens.

This pissed us off yesterday when our keeper got a yellow for time wasting . What other keeper has got one recently.....

SO…3 whole points huh , ugly or not, who gives a f**k, Tesco and Stormy were outstanding , im even giving wee Willy Wilson a pat on the back ….and how about them kids …Steele, Paully, Bails, De Lima and DPC ….Theo was having issues with the polarity of the earths gravitational pull AGAIN …..Brian’s getting back to old self now Tesco is back ….and might I just say , that is the fullest I’ve seen the away bay since we moved to Brisneyland …good on ya travelers , well done
let’s hope this kick starts something

Fark moi , I forgot to add Alfonso McCalmont for his game and a big you beaut to Vitor who played like he had a rocket fired up him

We were out played by a team that hasn’t won a game yet for good periods of the match. Kuol isn’t top scorer I’m pretty sure it’s now Owen Goal.

I’ll congratulate Steele on his goal as it was well taken and good anticipation. One goal doesn’t solve our midfield issues though and they were there to see for 80 minutes. What is concerning is Alfie now on 4 yellows. When he doesn’t play we will see how much work he actually does.

DPC my MOTM as well, I’m glad we have stuck with him even after a few errors. Sains seemed to take some chill pills and calmed down and his game was better for it.

Wilson needs more game time, I liked him playing up top with Kuol. Was nice to see how much the goal meant to De Lima. Theo has mastered the Faz flop and we were somewhat lucky Kersey was happy to give him free kicks. This hasn’t always been the case this season.

3 points is 3 points and on the Rd, I really hope we start improving as we are playing some terrible football. Our passing is some of the worst in the league this season.

I thought an opponent copped one earlier in the year, but usually they don't give it on the first instance of shitbaggery

De Lima’s brother with a MAGA hat

And the Black Musk-promoted MAGA hat, at that. Why would a person in Australia think it's cool to wear that in public? Combined with De Lima's reference to God in his interview, nothing against Christian religion, but placed alongside extreme MAGAism, I start to worry. I thought the club had a no DH policy. What about a No Crazies policy too?

To wind up people like you that get worked up over a hat?

It’s not great though. The purpose of it is to send messaging and elicit strong reactions, of which most are not going to be favourable,

Probably not the place for it.

You seriously think that makes him a dick head?

What the f**k is wrong with you.

I don't think that this policy applies to relatives.

I DO get annoyed by having to watch football players publicly expressing their superstitious devotion on TV. Football is secular.
If players want to bless themselves or raise their finger to their 'god' then it should be done before you leave the change room.

WTF is it this week with all these hat references I've never heard of?!

Lets open a politics thread and only lock out those who breach the rules

 

[pjennings]

Let's make the forum a football forum. Only political discussion should be what can they do for the club!!

The players seem to like him which implies he passes the no DH test.
What his family wear isn't his fault. (Regardless of how offensive supporting a rapist is)

Oh that's very gracious of you not to have anything against the Christian religion champ.
Now if you don't have anything to say about the Football....jog on.
