    To a degree, Johnny, but I still think teams would come and defend, sit back and try and nick a goal and of course if they did get a goal it wouldn't then stop them going back to the tactic of time wasting and trying to kill the game once 1-0 ahead.

    It was the last game before a clean slate too.

    I didn't see him get booked. Was that right at the end? I left with about 3 minutes of added time left, just as they got a free kick inside our half and were again slowing everything right down.

    Was it a bit of a miss hit? Couldn't quite tell if the ball just fell to McNulty or if it was a deliberate pass by Nazon.

    The Duke

    Yep. But if it was out of 5 opportunities, 4 times he wouldn't have passed. I am certain we would have been 1-0 up and would have won the game if he had just slotted that through ball to McNulty. He was unmarked.

    The reason is he is greedy. Nowt else to my mind. He doesn't even look up to see where other players are around him.

    You know what she said when we found the ticket? That it was my fault we got a ticket and that it was my fault because I said she WOULD get a ticket as we started to approach the car.

    The Duke

    Far too greedy and but for him we would surely have been a goal up very early on. McNulty was free and had a clear run on goal, but instead of make quite an easy pass he chose to have a pop from a difficult angle and about 25 yards out. So annoying. We are not getting many chances anyway.

    Yup. Unfortunately. Her logic defies logic at times.

    I do desperately want to go, but all the negative football, feigning, time wasting, cheating and not trying to win is making it increasingly difficult to stomach.

    Have you ever seen a team though start to time waste from the 8th minute? I been going up now an awful long time now and I have never, ever seen any like it.

    Totally daft though. She's known for years that I could only park at Tesco and then known for the last two years or so that I could no longer park there either. I either walk now or she drops me off at Lythall's Lane and then some games picks me back up again from the same place. Just don't...

    Yeah, but it's then the length of time players are taking to take the throw in. THAT is the problem, so like I say, ball goes out, clock keeps ticking. The second the ball gets into the throw in takers hands, the ref puts them on a timer. Would be easy though to indeed stop the watch once the...

    Not much, but it definitely was.

    Just watched the highlights and have to say that non challenge from Grimmer where the ball hit the bar was quite scandalous. Hope Robins gives him a rocket for that.

    Thing is, as the football gets worse less people will turn up. The quality in League Two is dire.

    The most annoying thing is this could all be stamped out within one fell swoop. Very, very simple. Connect and link the ref's watch to the scoreboard. Every time the ball goes out of play the ref stops his watch. Every single player on the pitch will see the watch has stopped and realise it is...

    Rugby league world cup

    I am totally the opposite. I think Union is far superior and find League far too one dimensional. A lot less intelligence needed in Rugby League I would say. Just seems a case of pick the ball up, run a couple of yards, get tackled, pick the ball up, run a couple of yards, get tackled. Every...

    Agree on McNulty. His all round play was good yesterday and he did finally get the goal, but so many times he was in great positions and failed to shoot. He really seemed to lack that killer goalscoring instinct until the goal and he needs to be braver going in on the keeper too. That's twice I...

    Exactly! I have never ever witnessed that before. Seen teams time waste, but this was from about 8 mins into the game. It was quite astonishing really. They delayed everything. Every goal kick and throw in and also complained about every challenge. Their centre back must have tried to get Beavon...
