Obvious Time Wasting

[Chrysalis]

Its getting worse I noticed, players always seem to go down injured as pace of game is high against them, it happens too often to just be coincidence.

 

Something needs to happen to discourage it.  A card is not the right way to go as ref cannot know if its legit or not, but I think if a player goes down, they should be forced to stay off for 5 minutes, which would be one way to discourage it.

Yeah we do this as well, you just don't notice it when it's us. 

I like timewasting. Obvs more when we are doing it. That temporary relief, when defending a one goal lead in injury time, of a soft free kick and you know there will be 40 seconds of fannying about. Bliss.

 

I even admire teams doing it against us. I see it as a test of our mental strength not to get vexed by it. It's another soft skill that top teams learn to develop

 

Edited to add that west ham in Tuesday must be the only premier side Ive ever seen time waste when losing. Extraordinary.
