One of many reflections from the weekends nightmare...
The jacks wasted time at every opportunity and whenever we had a free kick they would stand in front of the ball despite being asked to move back by the referee. They did this on every free kick and our player just let them do it as the ref was a bit weak. Also, going down holding their head so the ref has to stop play. Gamesmanship/cheating - doesn't matter.
I don't blame them. We should be doing the same if we are one up in a derby, that is sadly the way things are.
As soon as the ref asked the Swansea player to move away from the free kick and they refused, our free kick taker should have launched the ball at him to take the free kick, according to the rules the ref then has to book them for disrupting a free kick. Our players let the Jacks get away with bullying them and being so passive.
It was a derby, we should have been horrible, nasty and hounding the referee.
There is no way Ralls should be walking off that pitch without a booking.
We were like babies.

Absolutely correct, Warnock would have been screaming at them to get in their faces.
Make the ref make a decision, we did nothing and stood back and admired their quality.
Still F ing fuming.

They are a horrible bunch, they looked very gobby too, Hugill was taken out and held every time the ball was anywhere near him he couldn't jump held down every time, and totally agree on the rest the ball was only in play for about twenty minutes in the first half, they wasted time at every opportunity.

Should have been about 100 mins additional time in each half. Then again we still wouldn't have scored and probably lost more heavily

Meant to say 10 mins
