It's down to the ref to be stronger but he wasn't so they did it more. Its the way football is going, conning the ref, conning the fans, dishonest players I'll be glad when the cricket season starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get promoted though will the fans care? As they say, you are as good as your last game, never truer, especially in football. Well I was so looking forward to that game and came away totally wound up of course the result was dreadful but it was the way the game was played , we were a shambles and they time wasted whenever they could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) They were time wasting from the moment they scored the first...but then what do we honestly expect? Gunter in particular was taking the pi55 with every throw, but the referee allowed him to get away with it. As per usual he (the ref) only took some form of action in the second half. They could so easily nip this time wasting stuff in the bud by booking a player after one or two attempts at wasting time. Needless to say they don't.

dani_armo Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 They did a job on us and obviously did their homework playing long diagonal balls in behind fox which eventually led to the goal. After that they did what they had to do and we huffed and puffed but for me they looked like they could step it up anytime if they needed to. They were bigger, quicker and had a few stronger more physical players than us and showed us what we are lacking and have been lacking all season. Don't forget they have been on a bad run of form too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really do. Not as bad as when i took my family to their first Wed match away at Reading of all places. Think we lost 6-0, and i got a parking ticket. That was throw and expensive.

No not for me It's a fine line between cheating and stretching the rules. There's no time limit rule to taking a throw so it's not cheating, it's up to the ref to say get on with it or I'll book you and give the throw the other way. Where I'm losing football is the diving and the blatant conning of refs. For me the game is dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Reading epitomise the term 'tinpot'. A complete nothing club. No fans, no history, no rivals and a new modern build Lego stadium that's utterly soulless. However, they absolutely did a job on us. There's no way we would have ever gone there and put in an away performance like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree totally and was talking about this with my son on the way to the game last night , it really is turning me against the game , spending my money on cheating almost , it is a very serious situation and the governing bodies should be doing so much more to stamp it out . Going back to last night surely Stam would have instructed his players to play this way though ? Teams and players have to entertain surely ??

He will have told them to go all out to frustrate us and disrupt the game. It used to be called quietening the home crowd, but that's not difficult at hillsborough is it! Its now progressed to spoiling and conning tactics. It's only going to get worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fife_owl Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 They started better than us (there's a theme here), got the goal and closed the game down. Perfect away performance against a rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Lucas Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 But they are better than us "apparently" why time waste at all ? Is it on fear you know the other team are too good and may climb back into the match ? Really frustrating to play with these tactics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were physically stronger than us, better in the air, quicker at closing down, and they out ran our midfield. On top of which they stifled the game. When we are winning there are no groans at Westwood taking an age over his goal kicks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
