The most frustrating time wasting tactics are :
1:Tippy tappy football .. from the goalkeeper to the center half ..to the full back ,back to the center half back to the full back ,short pass to the midfield play maker ,, short side way pass to anothermidfield player, back to the full back, ...and still ten meters to go get out of their own half! :sleepy2:
2:Goalkeepers taking 3 mins to take a goal kick.
3:Kicking the ball away when conceding a free kick pretending they didn't hear the whistle..
4:Taking an age to leave the field when substituted.
5:Making a substitution in injury time.
6:Ball boys not having any urgency to give the ball to the away team.
7:Players feigning injury
8:Player taking the ball into the corner flag area.
9:Waiting for a player to take a throw in / Swapping a player taking a throw in.

Think we should have a timed clock like the one used in rugby,would take away some of these issues :banghead: ..

The most frustrating thing for fans is goalie going oposite side when taking goal kick wasting time all match and eventually ref booking him in 89th minute !! :banghead:

Tippy tappy football isn't wasting time, the ball is in play and the other team are active.

The others though are, save from taking it to the corner.

Have no issue with any of it to be honest as frustrating as it may be when the shoe is on the other foot.

Think my first point was aimed at the Nottingham manager and fans who think we are playing anti football when they bore the pants of fans thinking they are entertaining like some sort of Brazilan team. :banghead:
