Six minutes 'at least'. They wasted two of those six and arsey blew on six. I timed it as I suspected he'd do so after blowing when we were on/near the edge of the box in the first half.
As much as I agree with the sentiment, there hasn’t been a six second rule for years.
Outwith the time wasting I thought he had a decent game. Time should not have been a factor, we blew it after playing some great stuff with pace and energy, missing so far this season. Thought Wright, Roofe and Sakala linked up well today
Didn't blame him for the result, that's on us. But 'a decent game' doesn't involve getting so many decisions wrong. He's always like this. It looks like he has poor vision and just guesses - with 'authority', he thinks.
Is hard to disagree but I guess compared to other games he was letting things go and gave us advantage a few times, which we didn't capitalize on. Hate seeing ref posts everytime we blow it. Today was all on us
A part of that's was our players being naive when needing a goal and jumping in to stupid challenges tav arfield aribo all within 5 mins killing the tempo of the game excactly what they wanted
There should have been at least 10 minutes injury time. Why he just let their keeper hold the ball. I checked one time and the keeper held onto it for 15 seconds. Now I know it's one of those rules that is rarely applied to the second, but 15 + seconds and no foul is a joke.
What is he trying to prove? It's more than the old "he's not one of us" thing.
Blew on 50 secs into minute in first half.
The ones he let go were challenges on our players.
Apart from the obvious time wasting there was one occasion in the 2nd half where a Motherwell player slid into the tackle, in front of the Govan, and knocked the ball over the touchline for our throw. His momentum carried him off the park but he got back on again without a problem then lay down and called for the physio and McLean let him.
Same with the taking the ball to the other side of the 6 yard box for a bye kick. I know McGregor does it a lot however it’s a pet hate of mines. You can’t take the ball to whichever side you want to take a corner can you? The amount of time that gets wasted with this!
Which suggests the op is both right and wrong. In all honesty I think he’s the least competent of them all a total brain fart.
Bet his mummy told him not to do that anymore
I think it was about 90 seconds into the game they got their first goal kick and the keeper stopped for a drink.
To be fair when teams start playing like that against us we fall into their trap and start giving the refs no option. Some of the fouls we gave away towards the end were really frustrating.
Probably cause he had already booked him for his 3rd dive of the game so let him away with going off slowly.
They should stop the clock when the ball is out of play and it would stop all the crap. The over all time would probably be 15-30 minutes longer but it would cut out a lot of frustration. I wonder how many people would get cramp if the time was added on.
Number one consideration with these raging ego types is not losing face. If he pulled Kelly up for it and he kept doing it, it would have diminished McLean's authority. So he ignores it, the spectacle is ruined and the product he should be helping to sell by applying the rules is cheapened but he doesn't give a phuk. He's the star.
