[Albion] Time Wasting

[B-right-on]

Not a fan of it at all.

But that's the first time I can remember when we've deliberately time wasted; 25 mins to celebrate the goal and casually saunter back into our half, Verbruggen taking ages to release it, the subs, the final sub with (Leaping Salmon) Barco when they're trying to take a quick free kick, the pissing around in the corner with the 3 players and messing about, the age to take a throw in. As well as refreshing the midfield.

Beautiful. Just see the game out, get that win in the bag rather than going for a second and conceding an equaliser.

Great game management. Just loved it.

It’s not pretty, but sometimes necessary

 

[Weststander]

Didn’t we do it supremely in added time in the recent-ish home win over Forest?

 

[ozzygull]

Especially sweet considering what Villa did last time we played them at the Amex. I think it is called karma.

 

[Mancgull]

Yes, don’t usually like it but doing it against Emery’s Villa is karma, as it would be against Fulham.

I can't remember that far back.

And all the 'come on' arm waving to the crowd.

Quality.

 

[The Rivet]

If other teams employ the tactic, and lets face it Aston Villa in particular employ the dark arts, then I say fair play!

Absolutely this. Hate time wasting from any side. Except today against the biggest time wasters ever. Hate Villa. So happy we beat them today.

 

[oldboyroy]

All part of the game. Game management and glad that we managed it well. Villa moaning they should of had a pen although most admit they were shit today and their goal keeper kept them in it.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

There's not been that many occasions under RDZ where we've had a one goal lead to protect in Stoppage time. But when we have the only time I recall us being under the kosh was with ten men at Forest.

Good keepball and game management

I think it was around the 90th minute we took the ball into the corner by the North and East stands, my feeling at the time was that it’s too early for corner flag shithousery as there were 9 minutes of added on time. But you’re right - we took a leaf out of Villa’s book from previous encounters and completely frustrated them. I would say the boot was definitely on the other foot for a change. Marvellous!

 

[Washie]

We do it quite a lot away from home. The amount of time we would waste at a throw in or goal kick used to be laughable. I swear steele was booked this season for it?

Steele was booked at Bournemouth last season for time wasting…the old routine where he puts the ball down and lets Dunk take the kick. We were taking the piss!

 

[Farehamseagull]

Yes we do it whenever we’re winning, like every team does. It’s just we haven’t been winning much lately so people can’t remember it!

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Ironic that people like it when we do it but hate it when Villa or other teams do it. Its just part of football these days.

Indeed. Especially Barcos & Pedros theatrics, people would be going crazy if an opposing player did the same

Brilliant lots of teams do it ----y shouldnt we

He was also booked against Marsaille in our home game

This. Particularly sweet considering how they normally play against us.
