Players shaking refs hands

During a game too...

what's the 'inside story'

 

[Greenwich Blade]

Maybe they had them trick buzzer things from the school playground days.

 

[UnitedBlade]

Time wasting pure and simple.

 

[Foxy]

Players dictating what goes on, wasting time etc... Same old tricks again and again which never seem to be picked up on.

Nike must make the shitest socks known to man.

 

[super_pig]

i keep looking for the book 'insider tricks for timewasting' that all new pros are given when they sign.

 

[ThatJa]

Is it not the refs job to stop timewasting though, thus resulting him refusing the said handshake and instead booking the player?

 

[super_pig]

i normally have a lot of time for Clark Carlisle but his gushing praise for Poland's 'professional' time wasting tactics is a bit unnerving

Clarke is the worst commentator ever such a boring twit, after Danny Murphy

 

[ThatJa]

Do they come before or after Phil Neville though, thats the real question.

There probably isn't a directive on this, as long as the ref stops his watch he has done his job .

But agree would have loved for him to book him. Red card even better.

He did, by adding on 7 minutes at the end.

 

[ThatJa]

Which turned into 9minutes, i remember it

Which was justified. Our goal celebration was well over a minute and they made a sub. Only ourselves to blame for that

Yep, can't grumble at the extra time added, although quiet where he got 7 minutes from in the first place I don't know. Thought he had a good game though, he let a lot of hard tackles go, he seemed to want to let the game flow.

I was expecting to see 5 go up personally. 5 subs, 1 goal, red card, no real injury stoppages.

Yep, 5 is what I was expecting too. By the rules, 7 minutes was probably right taking into account the time wasting but you never, ever see the correct amount of time actually added on for it.

 

[Punk Blade]

no real injury stoppages.

True, but there was a fake one.

Strange how people see things totally different.
IMHO, Carlise is one of the most honest and to the point summarisers there is - same with Murphy, speaks it exactly as it is.

As they are relatively new, they have not been "sky-ed" yet.

UTB

I take it you've never ever watched football on ITV, and suffered the wittering fucknugget that is Andy Townsend. Clarke Carlisle is pretty good, and compared with Andy Townsend and his tendency to pluralise everything Carlisle is a very refreshing change. For evidence, just listen - "your Man Uniteds and Wayne Rooneys of this world" - "he's got to go towards the goals" - etc, ad fucking infinitum.

I really don't like Andy Townsend. At least he'll not be spoiling the FA Cup this season.

Wallace had the trainer on too ,I go back to my point in shoutbox ,the one change I would make in football would be to have an independent timekeeper and a Klaxon like Rugby league to take the pressure off the referee.

Weird - i was thinking exactly that yesterday!

 

[Damski]

wittering fucknugget

Superb.

 

[Damski]

And on topic, it's something I can't fucking stand in football. Every player does it, and every player should know better. Referees are bullied and intimidated by players every game, who clearly run things. How many times a game does the average referee bottle out of decisions? We need to see point-blank bookings for behaviour like this, which also includes pretending to be injured and hamming it up on the floor, which is so embarrasing that whenever I see it, I turn away in disgust. If all the referees were told to book players for this bullshit, you would have a couple of game weeks where about a million players would get sent off, then they'd all realise there's no room for it in the sport any more, and then that solves the problem, doesn't it. How grown men who are supposed to be professional athletes and role models think that this is the right way to behave is fully beyond me.

Ye I don't like Townsend either.

That's exactly the stance I take on foul and abusive language, particularly towards the officials. Clamp down on it, two weeks of mayhem with loads of red cards, they learn and problem solved.

Maybe hit both problems at the same time and we'll get some unique 7v7 games for a week!
