It sometimes is. Without VAR, if they score from one that will be it.
It sometimes is. Without VAR, if they score from one that will be it.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.
Every time singers corner have shouted it's been inside the lineIt sometimes is. Without VAR, if they score from one that will be it.
Refs have generally seen somethingWe moan about time wasting yet we do this.
Also means our defence have to reset so not ideal
There was one where the tv showed the ball to be quite a way out, the ref did fuck all.Every time singers corner have shouted it's been inside the line
If you sit/stand in that corner, the ball will look out due to it's curvature when it is actually just inside.
Although it's funny, it wastes about a minute per corner - we then get an added 3 minutes at the end of the half, including injuries ( we are effectively losing several minutes a game through this - fine, when we're winning, and trying to hold onto the lead, but......) Even the 'quieter' end started up with it against Millwall.No. Genuinely hilarious that refs keep falling for it. One of my favourite things.

It;s not ten seconds at a time mate. Not going to take a stop watch to prove it, but the amount of 'wasted' non playing time is galling. Let's put it another way, would you find it amusing if the crowd kept throwing something/another ball, on the pitch, delaying the game, when we were struggling to beat the opposition; yet the ref doesn't materially add time on for it?I’d care a lot more about time wasting if we had a side that actually tried to win games in the final minutes of the match TBH. It’s usually ten seconds once or twice a game it really makes no difference. And frankly games are so dull these days I’ll take any entertainment I can get.

I get the initial amusement, but it's clearly self defeating in terms of helping the team (particularly if the opposition are time wasting themselves).
Did you not see the Millwall taker move the ball back slightly after the second accusation before the ref came over to inspect?Can we stop this embarrassing nonsense of shouting that the ball is outside the markings at a corner?

The ball doesn’t have to touch the line to be inDid you not see the Millwall taker move the ball back slightly after the second accusation before the ref came over to inspect?
I was at the rear of Block 11 and everybody could see it clearly was not touching the outer edge of the line marking.
The one just before was legal tho.

Crazy how a whole squad of players are apparently tanking their own careers because…?As I say I’d care more about this stuff with our team a couple of seasons ago. This side I have no feeling they’re busting a gut to win so I won’t begrudge the crowd a little entertainment. Far more time is wasted on the pitch, our throw ins alone are much more of a serious problem.

You do make some funny posts sometimes.
It’s stupid to do it in games like this one. We’re just helping the opposition waste time.
I can't see half the squad leaving, and the some of the ones that might have certainly taken a hit to their careers! (Collins, Dasilva, Kitching, BTA, Simms, even Sheaf compared to a season or two ago).You do have some funny interpretations of my posts sometimes. Half this squad won’t be here next year, their careers are fine.

Fair, but plenty of their playing reputations will have fallen off a cliff this season.I can. Wilson, Bidwell, Allen, Tavares OOC Sheaf Wright MvE sold, Dasilva Collins Kitching got rid of. That’s ten of twenty right there.
I think you know what I meant.The ball doesn’t have to touch the line to be in
I think you know what I meant.
The outer surface of the ball on the second occasion did not bisect the outer of the corner marking - Hence the Millwall player moving it slightly back before ref came fully over to inspect.
I get that for the vast majority of the time it is purely for time wasting or kidology to unsettled the opposition and not to gain an advantage but at what point do we just let go of the rules?
