That scramble at the end..

[ISZA ⚔️]

There’s 23 people on a football pitch during every game and only 1 isn’t cheating.

Lot would have got smashed up if they had sneaked a goal in the last seconds.

 

[LJBlade]

The frivolous yellow cards and free kicks. A lot very soft free kicks given to them on the edge of our box.

Yet their player blatantly dives and doesn't even get booked. Also, lets not forget Ndiaye was cleaned out again today. He plays on but no retrospective booking for their player.

Our players so much as brush against a Watford player and its free kick and a booking. Where the fuck did he even get those 5 minutes injury time for both halves.

He booked more of their players than ours and gave us more free kicks.

The 5 minutes injury time in the second half was for the goal and substitutions, that’s fairly standard. The first half it was for a Watford player who went down and needed treatment.

Apart from that though spot on as usual.

Fucking wank refereeing. Official's job is to keep time and see fair play. Not to engage in the entertainment process by waiting to see if the ball goes into the net in the second minute of added-extra time. Sooner time keeping is controlled externally {like rugby} the better.

His greatest piece of 'work' today was near the end when he gave Watford a free kick. They took it quickly and it ended up with Wes making a save. The clown blows up and makes them retake the free kick. So if they'd have scored from the original attempt, he would have disallowed it? Would he fuck, the bent twat.

Stroud is so bad for both teams it is difficult to see how bent he is. But most of us know that he has done us up like a kipper time and again over the years, and we have silly twats on this blades fans forum trying to stick up for him. Linesman south stand side was totally shit today as well.

My internal dialogue earlier

[Watford corner, 95 minutes] : "Of course this is what's going to happen, why the fuck would we ever have nice things? Supporting this club is a constant fucking cycle of feint hope and fucking abject misery, I'm so sick of this utter boll...."


[Final whistle]: "Hey hey hey, 3 points in the bag and life is sweet, off to the boozer to celebrate 3 points that were never in doubt "

Ah yes, the inner dialogue of a football fan

 

[wizadry]

I wasn’t there but Keith Stroud is, and always will be a bent, useless cunt regardless of todays game, what a wanker.

Was that the one where he was indicating it was a rolling ball continually for the next two minutes?

He should have tried blowing his fucking whistle then.

Useless? Yes.
Cunt? Absolutely
Bent? I don't think so. He's equally shit for every team.

I was at the Brentford game in 2013. How he is still refereeing is a mystery.

We’ll agree to disagree mate, there’s no way a ref as bad as him can carry on refereeing unless he’s under orders from someone, if you’re that bad at your job in any trade you’re out of the door.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

In fairness they looked like sneaking one all game, last few seconds would have been a kick in the balls though.
Well done to them and us.

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Another problem with little-man-syndrome refs like Stroud is that their regular stride is nowhere near a yard, but their inflated self-importance won’t let them admit this. So they just pace out a regular 10 steps as if no-one can tell the difference.

The upshot, today, is that every wall lined up about 8 yards from every free kick.

Twat.

Washing machine’s gonna have to work double overtime tonight trying to removing skid marks from me boxers

I think he would have disallowed it, because he must have blown his whistle after they took the kick quickly to stop play and get them to retake it, so he couldn’t change his mind.

It’s a frustrating rule because in most cases, such as today, the attacking team gains no direct advantage by the ball being in motion, although they may gain an advantage by taking the kick quickly, so the defending team have less time to regroup.

I wonder though if they had scored whether our players would have wanted it disallowed for the moving ball, or if they even noticed it, it was barely moving.

 

[Davalon]

Yeah. So ref gets to decide how much extra to add on - some go 30 secs some go 1 minute. Some just wing it for the drama - like him today.

Happens too often in the modern game. See it regularly.

Even though time is up they continue if it looks like acteam might score

Between the ball going out and Watford actually taking the corner, Stroud checked his watch four times.

He then allowed play to continue whilst the ball was kept alive in the box and lo and behold, as soon as we cleared it properly, whistle to lips without looking at his waych again..

If they had scored in that melee it would have been after time strictly speaking. It's not just Stroud, it happens regularly snd I'm not aware it's in the laws.

Agreed, the whistle should be blown at exactly the moment when the added time is complete. Irrespective of where the ball is.
