Can we stop this embarrassing nonsense of shouting that the ball is outside the markings at a corner?

it never is. Makes me cringe every time.

No. Genuinely hilarious that refs keep falling for it. One of my favourite things.

It’s stupid to do it in games like this one. We’re just helping the opposition waste time.

Yeah, I thought two or three were. I don’t get why players do it. One inch doesn’t make a difference.

Just ask Mrs WM.

Do you stand in singers corner?

It’s an optical illusion. Only one was marginal but probably in.

I enjoyed it, bit of pantomime to round off the festive season.

Honeyman second half did it on purpose to get the crowd going down by family zone. It’s that isn’t it - bit of banter.

I agree on the Torp song - it’s shit. Reminds me of the one Villa fans sing to hi ho silver lining (hi ho Aston Villa) - can’t just change two words to the player/team name, doesn’t make sense.

If one inch doesn’t make a difference then why do fans cry about it?

Love it when the corner does it when we are chasing the game at 1-0 down. Gives me a semi. Best thing ever.

As someone else said, it just helps the opposition to waste time (and is exactly what they want to happen) so not sure where the fun is in that.

I personally think it’s class.

Especially when we are trying to get a goal and the opposition are time wasting at every opportunity. It really helps speed the game up! Such a good idea.

With our players fragile mentality, my problem with this, is that it gives added time/opportunity for them to switch off.

Don't agree about the fragile mentality bit but I definitely don't think it helps, suspect it may give opposition added motivation and it usually ends up provoking a reaction from the away end.

One day we will do it, they'll score from the corner and we'll look very stupid.

Yes, fragile mentality is possibly the wrong way of putting it.
Concentration probably better. We switch off/have been guilty of switching off at the back in general play. The delays just give another opportunity for the minds to wander.

Hamer could put the ball on the penalty spot when taking a corner and get a standing ovation
