Good to see the football authorities have failed to stamp out time wasting. The antics by a lot of teams really infuriated me last season but orient took it to a new level yesterday immediately after the wonder goal the orient striker picked up the ball and lobbed it into the crowd and there defender later picked up the ball shoved it inside his shirt and ran half the length of the pitch both these where in full view of the officials yet went unpunished.not saying we are saints with a bit of running the clock down but it really needs stamping out of the game

I agree, but we did see quite a lot of cramp from our first choice keeper in the play off's and it was very kind of him to let the stewards in  the empty area with no seats have a look at the ball after the equaliser in the play off final.

They were doing it from early on..little kicks of the ball away, the keeper time wasting. It was poor, and the officials allowed it to continue.

Daft thing is there was no need for it at all.

It's the nicking yards from throw-ins that gets me, it's getting ridiculous.

Unless you've got Jordan Cropper, it's pointless.

But seriously, how many throw ins are taken anywhere near where they should be these days?

It was infuriating to watch Orient's time wasting yesterday, but if we were in their position, I'd personally want us to do the same. It proved effective at essentially killing the game off, we didn't really have a sniff last 20. It's up the ref to stamp it out, which he was ineffective at doing.

It's not enjoyable to watch, but anything goes to secure the win IMO.

It's called 'game management' these days and seemingly celebrated as being some sort of tactic.

The game's gone.

I dunno, Max Crocombe’s ‘cramp’ at London Stadium was a highlight of the season for me.
