They cared when it went 2-1.It’s up to the referee to decide if it’s deliberate . Our refs don’t seem to care
Did you not see Collum running to Bassey?

Collum had the cheek to chin Bassey to hurry it up on 80mins.
Silence when they were time wasting from the 1st minute.
I've thought this for years.Top flight football should have a stop-clock.
Do you feel the same when Allan McGregor does it?
The point here is doing it for the whole phuking game which McGregor isn’t guilty of.
False equivalence is almost as rampant on here as straw menThank you some just think it’s part of the game and in moderation it is what was done today isn’t.
Score first, score early time wasting stops
No it’s not, not when Helander is down for 3 minutes, 6 subs, the stramash at the penalty and then the time wasting, should easily have been 10 minutes added on never mind the fact zero minutes added in the firstIt is what it is, I say.
NoDoes anyone think it would have been 5 mins had we been 1-1?
Then suddenly 5 mins at 1-2.
Suspect
Noticed that too. They were falling at the slightest contact and the one who clashed with Morelos took a dive.What annoys me is Collum allows them to do it for 80 minutes and then as soon as we go up 2-1 he is all over any of our players that dither at a shy or GK.
He sprinted over to Bassey right after the goal to tell him to hurry up with a throw in.
It seems to just be an accepted tactic when the diddy teams do it against us though.
With Helander's injury and the fracas after the penalty and subsequent time taken for the 4 bookings I thought it was going to be more than 5 minutesDoes anyone think it would have been 5 mins had we been 1-1?
Then suddenly 5 mins at 1-2.
Suspect
TrueNot after 2 mins he is not

if we are 1-0 up v Lyon on Thursday with 10 minutes to go then we will time waste

If its time wasting killing us, whats the excuse for the piss poor 1st half?
That’s where it‘s simply poor officiating that allows that right from the off. Our refs are next to useless so allow it right from the start. They can see it just like us, the authorities can see it, but as usual they and the SPL/SFA allow live tv matches to be turned into shitfests all season. It’s no wonder we get two balloons and a toffe-Apple for a TV contract.It seemed to be their tactic today. I noted they were wasting time as early as the 3rd minute. Basically it is down to the officials to do something about it.
Had a good laugh at that big fanny Clark rushing like hell to take a goal kick near the end, when he'd been slothlike the entire game up until then.Very noticeable today.
1. No ball boys or multi ball system.
2. St Johnstone time wasting from the first minute.
All the more sweeter when we go 2-1 up and they’re frantically rushing as the tables turned.
Got to admit, although he got some decisions wrong, thought by and large he was and does try to be fair. He just makes some howlers now and again. Clancy is the only one I think is blatant at times, again tho, no too bad in the last game. Beaton Is the worst for me. That Hibs game a few year ago, where he booked Alfie for getting stone cold stunnered, and Jack got a red while about 3 or 4 of there players should been sent off. Worst refereeing display I've ever seen. And the other bad ones were him again. Disallowed goals etc . They think he is biased for us as well. May be a rangers fan, don't know, but he is definitely no in our favour in any gameYet when we went ahead Collum was telling Bassey to hurry up with a throw in
They did, they do, they all do. The problem with this I feel is not so much it happens but that Rangers play right into the situation by themselves being too slow. As long as the game sits level, these teams will time waste almost form the K/O and although its small pockets here and there its constant so adds up significantly over a full game.The amount of time St Johnstone wasted today was imo extremely noticeable and a tactic more than one team in the league employ. The keeper was the worst constant holding the ball for well over 6 seconds and goal kicks taking at times over 30 seconds.
I find it extremely frustrating and I feel we the fans are being short changed by these tactics.
I’m sure last season vs Livingston it was almost 30 mins they wasted.
It can be stopped by strong official’s recognising it and taking action. Systematic fouls also being allowed too Wetherspoon and Craig had multiple fouls no action taken.
Delighted with the 3 points but do you think it needs looked into and highlighted?

Cheating?It is what it is, I say.
That’s coming.Top flight football should have a stop-clock.
100% agree. I hate time wasting when it’s against us but love it when it’s for us.Im more concerned about the standard of refereeing.
But they do care a lot when Shagger does it.It’s up to the referee to decide if it’s deliberate . Our refs don’t seem to care
