Just a big clock and a bloke with a button, time wasting would vanish in an instant. I seem to remember that FIFA were planning to trial it somewhere this year or last, not sure if it ever went ahead... Totally agree though. Drop the length of the game to 30 minute halves with the clock stopped every time the ball goes out of play and you'd get roughly the same length of game on average, but much less prone to twunts like Wycombe and Charlton turning it into a farce. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't drop the length of the game, I pay for ninety minutes and ninety minutes is what I want. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 If we get past Wembley not bothered if its Wycombe. What bothers me is what DM might do, dread to think Dunkley and Paterson could line up at Wembley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorrallOwl17 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 What i don't get is they actually have half decent players to play a decent style of play. Josh Scowen is a good player in the middle of the pitch, Obita, McCleary, Vokes, Horgan, Wing, Jacobsen are all above the average level of league 1, but for some reason play a hideous style of football that doesn't really bring out the best of them as players, but works as a team. Shades of Simeone and Athletico, a group of players that aren't as bad as their style would suggest. But it works anyway, they've got one foot in the final as i'd expect them to score in the second leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jack Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 If you keep possession and don't give away silly free kicks, is the way to play against them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Key with Wycombe is to get that first goal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Vokes is the sort of player we could do with up front. McCleary decent s well. Wycombe's tactics very crude and involve players pushing and being niggly in just bout every tackle. No surprise GA has been with them for a decade, who else would want to watch them every home game whatever division they're in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some good touches and good crosses...could have been 3 or 4 There was some cheating. Early on, hence the OP, they were blatantly kicking the ball away every time the ball was out of play / whistle blew. They did much less of that than usual though. So, credit where it's do for only cheating a bit. And because they were the better side on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be MORE football played in 60 minutes, if there was a game clock than you're currently getting in 90. The ball was in play for less than 50 during our games with Wycombe! That said, 35 mins each way would be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that applies to all teams, however some teams use dark arts to win them too. You only have to breathe on some players and they are looking for a foul!

Time wasting, players diving to get free kicks or yellow cards dished out and play-acting by players to break up the rhythm of the game are all big issues for me. Parachute payments are the biggest issue IMO. Not only do you have some teams given an unfair advantage but other clubs get punished with points deductions for spending too much , yet is still less than those clubs with their failure payments.

Absolute zero tolerance. So one wonders why they never seem to.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Woodbourn Owl Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I agree with the parachute payment issue, I thought it was to help with the wages they had to give players from the premiership when relegated, which does not happen. Teams with parachute payments should not be allowed loan players to even things up, they should be able to afford their own which would give the other clubs a better choice of loanee. This could also bring down the price of the loan players and other clubs would not have to pay as much to train and give experiance to players of the future which can make a fortune for their own clubs.
