today rovers were outplayed and well beaten by a strong eastleigh team with some experienced players but i despaired at there cynical time wasting tactics,,,2 players booked for blatant time wasting,1 in the 1st half!,,players pretending to be injured,,there dugout trying to obstruct our players so sad to see such tactics employed.
if a team wastes a bit of time in the last 20 minutes i can understand but i wouldnt want rovers to carry on like they did today.
this isnt sour grapes,we were well beaten today but but i hated that side of there game,

It's stupid how long their keeper got away with it for. Someone else got booked for time wasting before their keeper and it was his first offence. Disgraceful tactics and disgraceful officiating.
Oh and Taylor needs to learn the offside rule! I counted 7 times he was offside!

I counted 7 times he was offside! it was stupid but felt a bit sorry for the ref trying to deal with such cynical tactics,,,,eastleigh pushed up all over the pitch and none of our players got to grips with it especially matty who kept getting caught offside |

can't argue about the time wasting, was appalling, but WHY are we caught offside so often every game? surely way more than average in my impression anyway

The blatant time wasting was disgusting.The worst one was when Pell went down with what looked like a career ending injury.We all knew there was jack s**t wrong with him,then to rub it in, the tosser laughed at the Blackthorn end when he re-entered the pitch.

To be fair, Pell and Stanley will rarely go to a place and be jeered by 7000ish fans for their part in atrocious performances masquerading as football.
So they joined Eastleigh, sold out, and only get that once a season now when they visit us! *wry grin*

Pell & Spence were smiling at the crowd over by us knowing they were getting away with the blatant time wasting and along with the goalkeeper & a few others did their jobs well in doing so.
They certainly took advantage of Mildenhall's blunder so early which was a game changer, he made a number a good saves after keeping the score down to 1-0.
I thought Harrison & McCrystal played well and Blissett was a handful all 2nd half.
Luckily the results went for us, but what a chance to go 5 points clear of Barnet.

Sadly they were the epitome of the sort of side that does well at a Rovers, just like FGR when we last lost in the league in October. Every opportunity to niggle, foul, waste time, influence the referee and as he was so weak that was easy. Three players on him at the half time whistle. Constable, Midson, Pell, Stanley all experienced enough at a higher to know how to get away with it. Not pretty at all but effective yesterday and we rarely had an answer.

The ref played a part in the time wasting, it started after the first goal. Stronger control, more yellow cards and more time added were needed. If yesterday's game was football, you can keep it.
Mind you, we should have lost 5 or 6 nil.

As usual opposing teams seem more "professional" and we get the weakest refs, why didn't the ref leave Pell on the side lines for a few minutes, I bet that would stop players fraining injuries? Also why wasn't Midson booked/red carded for a clear dive if it wasn't a pen?

It's all down to poor management who condone and instill this into their players and know they can get away with it by weak refereeing. Particularly in this league. However, to put some perspective on this I do not think there is such an offence as "time wasting " in the rules. So not sure what sanction a ref can bring to bear on this practice. For example passing the ball from one player at a throw in is not an offence as such. Doing what Pell did puts the ref in a situation where I assume he had a "duty of care" to the player so does not have the luxury of going over to the player and saying "get up and stop being a tart". Maybe the answer is to the latter is to keep the game going as in rugby and have treatment whilst the game is going on? No advantage to being out the game like a big girls blouse if the opposition are attacking against ten men.

It comes under Law 12, as part of the wishy washy 'ungentlemanly conduct' section which is judged by the ref and therefore subjective.
There were no such mention of time wasting, but two players were booked.

One thing I don't understand is why our players decide to take short corners... It never f***ing works! When you cross directly from the corner you can easily get it in with more power and no one blocking it. However when we take a short corner you have to turn then cross it (getting less power) AND there is usually someone on the other team to block it straight away.
Yesterday we were desperate for a goal and we got a corner, Dawson had gone off so they just took it short and the chance was gone!
Another thing, WE HAVE UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST PITCH IN THE LEAGUE, WHY DO WE PLAY HOOFBALL!? Surely Clarke teaches them how to do basic ground passing, just watch how effective Arsenal and Barcelona are with it.

Eastleigh did what anyone would've done with a lead away at a good team. Us included.
The ref added 5 minutes on, it could've been more but we weren't keeping hold of the ball well anyway so it would've been irrelevant in my opinion.
FGR got us off the hook yesterday and the situation is no worse than it was at the start of yesterday.

I have thought for a long time, the only way to eradicate this type of unsportsmanship is to change the game to 2 halves of 30 minutes (probably an average of how long the ball is in play) and the clock stops when the ball is out of play. I don't like changing football but these teams, like Oxford last season, who blatantly time waste and moan constantly to the ref, are able to get away with it due to lack of strong refereeing.
Another way to stop players surrounding the ref, is to allow only the captain to 'complain' to the ref. All Constable, Pell and the others were trying to do was to time waste and influence the ref, which is easy to do as these refs are absolutely appalling

We could give the players crash helmets to prevent injuries and allow all the players to pick the ball up too.
