They're not very impartial managers on the whole, we have one who is in a minority.
He was probably carrying on his contrived arguments in the 4th official's ear, forgetting the game was actually over.
Knocky was clearly thinking about it, if you watch around that time on the full match you can see him turn around and shout 'it's bullshit' after discussing the dropball with referee/Bentley.
I wouldn't have complained if 4 of our players had charged down Bentley and scored to be honest...
Agreed. Time wasting is a separate issue to feigning a head injury to interrupt the flow of the game while the ball is still in play. In this case, a couple of seconds before Knockaert is about to wrap his foot round the ball which resulted in 2 goals for us.
Agreed. It wasn't just a free clearence though, it got them 30-40 yards further up the pitch and we had to start again. So from just about to swing in a cross which we looked deadly from, we went straight back to a goal kick effectively.
It's disgraceful to be honest, taking something as...
Yep, warned and ushered to the byline but continued on his amble towards touch. Referees just bottle so many decisions for blatant disregard to warnings.
In terms of time wasting, an early yellow card to the perpetrator usually works wonders.
Thing is, we were mauling them and looking like fully turning it on it's head at 2-2. These quite blatant attempts at stoppping play absolutely killed our momentum and it wasn't long before they were up the other end scoring what we all perceived to be the winning goal.
Knocky just about to put in another cross as one fell to the ground with a 'head injury'.
We'll have to remember that one if hanging onto a lead, though i'd expect whichever ref not to be as lenient with us.
