If that's how you feel fair enough, but yesterday was an exception.
Derby, QPR and Oxford were all entertaining games.

Ironically I’ve got the Derby game down as our worst footballing performance of the season, obviously the Oxford second half was bad too. Despite the goals I don’t recall any decent football in general happening until about the 70 minute mark.

This all stops if we score the first goal - EMC gets his header in - its mandatory for us to get the first goal to avoid this sort of crap

I'm old school. I don't really care if they're injured. Exception is head injury or something that is so obvious that the players should stop playing and kick it out. That's on their professional integrity. They shouldn't want to see a fellow pro in genuine distress. Should be honour code amongst the players. As far as the ref is concerned he should play on for everything but clear head injury. If play IS stopped for a head injury there should be a retrospective check after the match and the player charged with misconduct if he is adjudged to be faking.

We did. But he was referring to the time wasting, yesterday was on a level you don't usually see, it wasn't the norm

It will become the norm if the authorities don't do something about it Every player and manager will find a way to cheat.Players don't care about supporters they are only interested in their pay packets

This might seem hyperbolic but this will be my last season after 20 years as a ST holder. (Unless we get promoted as I’m on the prem package).

If a player stops play for injury and then is able to play on immediately, he should get booked. It’s blatant time wasting and wastes so much more time than someone getting booked for taking too long over a throw etc.

A player yesterday ran across to the half way line to fall over there instead so it took longer to “hobble” off. I ended up just paying to be frustrated, could have done so much better things with that time and money. Done.

I’ve never noticed it before! I thought if you had treatment you had to go off! Whether the fouling player was cautioned or not! Im
Assuming it rarely happens then, hence 95% of the city supporters losing their shit over it, myself included . Learn something new every day

If I’m honest, this rule change passed me by too. And I was definitely off my seat and screaming about it yesterday. But there were at least 2 other incidents where nobody had been booked and the referee showed no interest in making them get off the pitch. That’s what is making everyone question the competence of the officials and when they are so weak about it, clubs will continue taking the piss.

Well it is hard to keep up with all the rule changes they keep making every season.

Yep-that’s a shocker! Red all day long. There is substance in the fact that he may have been too close to the incident, trust me that although that sounds silly it can give you a different perspective than if you were slightly further away.

VAR is one of the worst inventions in the history of sports I firmly believe that.

-Bogs the game down as can't even properly celebrate a goal most of the time due to may be called off
-Even with people looking at a damn replay multiple times, still get it wrong
-Don't know the numbers and not sour grapes but reality, bigger clubs still get most of the calls

Go back old school and just leave it up to those on the pitch as it always used to be.

That's insane.

Honestly, VAR can get in the sea. That's exactly the kind of shit decision that it's supposed to rule out.

I could just about accept the ref on the pitch thinking that's a handball with how his arm moves, but to look at it on telly and come to that conclusion, that's... unfathomable.

Football is lessened by VAR. It's a failed experiment; get rid.

Can understand why Wednesday fans are annoyed, or at least more than they already were. Hope the fury at HT wasn't some indication that they believe they were on the cusp of turning the game around just before that 3rd goal.

That's fucking terrible.

Did he think nobody touched it?

I can't see what his thought process was to keep the flag down.

I'll take it but would be fuming if it was against us

The only thing I can think of it possibly being is that so many of them were offside he lost track of who had the last touch. Which in itself is piss poor but I can't think of any other way he's not noticed multiple players are yards offside.

The only possible explanation is that he thought it went straight in.

Don't think Wright needed to touch it, can only assume lino didn't think he did.

How we didn't get a penalty for handball is beyond me too.
