Make of what you will of stats etc but if this is anything to go by we are the third worst for time wasting. I know we are not averse to it, but I would have thought Burnley would have been below us.
I must admit, it has felt timewasting has become worse in games and officials rarely really deal with it. May be they need to bring something in of so many seconds to take a free kick or it gets reversed the other way!
I dont think its time wasting by us , as JWP takes all free kicks and corners it takes him time to get there and as for our throw ins we only have 2 who can take them so again we have to wait for him to arrive on the scene.
It’s easy to solve. For injuries theyref can call time off as they do in rugby. For other time wasting such as taking ages to take goal kicks or throw ins the ref should warn the captain of the team then if it continues book both him and the offending players with a further warning that if it continues it could lead to a red.
