I'm not trying to blame this on the defeat today but just want to air my frustration in general.

In the last 10 minutes today, I would estimate the ball was in play no more than 2 minutes. My frustration is with the team who is winning (usually our opposition). Full backs who have taken throw ins all game all of a sudden don't, requiring somebody else to do so, goalkeepers take their goal kicks from the opposite side, the ball gets thrown back from the crowd and the nearest player just can't reach it as it rolls 1cm past their leg. The slightest touch requires the physio to come on to give the injured player a drink before he goes off with a limp only to run on seconds later.

You may say that if it was us doing it to see out a game I may feel differently but I wouldn't. I  genuinely believe that they should look into somehow stamping it out for the good of the game. Referees fall for it and allow it to happen all too often. They must realise its happening but allow it to do so. It spoils and ruins what should be an exciting period of the game.

Which is why it was great to see Wood dragging Brodie up against Fleetwood.

I deconstructed the flag to the point where it was safe and couldn’t be considered a danger

The thing I am "frustrated" about is that keeper getting his hand to big Damian's shot in the dying embers of the game! (good save though)!

Its not against the rules to tactically time waste and it applies to both teams, frustrating I know but get over it we will get our chance possible Monday!

Why is it not against the rules? I realise it applies to both teams, but what I'm saying is it shouldn't be able to happen at all.
