squeezeboxson Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I honestly didn't notice where all this timewasting took place. Why would we waste time when it was 1-1?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly the goalkeeper taking about 30 seconds per goal kick. Ref should have added more for that but he just made some hand gestures repeatedly instead of talking to or booking him. Not that it mattered, I don't think I wanted to watch another minute of that match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booking him for taking the ball to his natural side putting the ball down and kicking it at a normal rate... just because he wasn't in a hurry doesn't mean it was time wasting. You also say, 'mostly' so where did anything else happen that we wasted time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went to the left side for every free kick and took his time - even pulling up both socks after stepping back before every run up. I don't blame him for doing this - Gaston was booked at the methadome for teeing up then throwing back the replacement ball after seeing the original in a ball boy's hands. I do blame the referee (who was pretty incompetent overall yesterday) for not doing anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 He took all his goal kicks from the left hand side because he's left footed...Adjusting his socks would've taken up comfortably less than a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stuff To be fair, I don't think that the future of Sons TV was in any particular doubt. However, having spoken to David yesterday, he's pleased that the financial burden for running the excellent service he provides, will not just be borne by him. I'm delighted to sponsor what is, in my opinion, a very worthwhile and professional service for Sons fans worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Like I said we've no grounds to complain about it as literally every team does it, and we'd done it three games running when ahead against St. Mirren, Falkirk & Hamilton, but it quite clearly happened. Taking more than 30 seconds over every goal kick is obviously timewasting. Far from hurting us, it probably did us favour as you gave yourselves less time to go on to win the game as you deserved, which is why it's so confusing.

Ira Gaines Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Having a go at any team for timewasting is utterly ludicrous. Every finger should be pointed at a referee who does nothing about it and nobody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both slid in in the exact same fashion for a 50/50 ball, if it was a red for Tidser it was a red for Gallagher. It wasn't though, because there was clearly no foul committed by either of them. Anyway, taking a point from that was absolute robbery. Dumbarton's disallowed goal clearly had nothing wrong with it and they were better than us throughout the game: baffled why they timewasted so much when the game was there for the taking, although complaining about it is a bit of a brass neck when we've timewasted in a failed attempt to hold onto leads in our previous two games. Kilday and O'Ware were the only Morton players to emerge from the game with any credit. Kilday is a class act, it's said regularly but the transformation in him is incredible. We desperately need Russell back to give us more of an attacking presence. As it stands everything goes through the middle and when a team successfully nullifies Tidser as Dumbarton did yesterday - tremendous performance from Gallagher - we have little to offer. Tidser, Lindsay and Forbes all had poor games, particularly Forbes whose defensive contribution was utterly embarrassing. The main responsibility for that falls on Duffy though, insisting on sticking a central midfielder on the right in a flat 4-4-2. He needs to go 4-5-1 and sign some attacking players who aren't crap ringers. Three games into the season, still no wins, Hibs away next week to more than likely make it four. If we don't get that win we badly need at Somerset in the fifth game it's hard to see anything but a relegation battle this season: 36 draws will put us in the bottom two.

optimistic Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 There was absolutely no time wasting, I remember laughing at the jeers Alan Martin was getting, and quite a few of us were mystified why they thought he was, sour grapes from fans who expected to beat us, that's all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'The Famous' possibly aren't as great as they think they are. At half time you could see how wound up they all were. Seemed to me like they just couldn't deal with losing to a wee team like ours.

Or maybe "the famous" is as much a supporters in-joke as our "Sons to win 2-0, Thomson hat-trick" is? A bit of virtual fishing, if you like. A few in the net so far.
