Good thing I'm not a manager because this player would be right away out of my team for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, and I'm not arguing with it, but how is that different to Jordan Pickford catching a ball, under no pressure, then diving on the ground, clutching the ball for 20 seconds? That time never gets added on and it's blatant cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra time was justified in this case. I’m not saying it’s right, but I’m certain every second between the ball going out of play and a throw in being taken isn’t added on in ‘normal’ time. Games would last hours. A cynic would ask whether the ref would’ve added it if Luton had a freekick at the same point in the game. Trying to play devils advocate here, not disagree.

Referees always add on time for the attacking side to take a free kick, and usually for them to take a corner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 6 December 2023 Share Posted 6 December 2023 I've quite enjoyed Luton in the Premier League. Been the best of the promoted trio by a mile and they're giving some of the best sides about real scares at that place. Still don't think they've lost at home by more than a goal have they? They will sadly probably drop, and especially sadly as their slight lack of quality is probably going to be what saves those lucky bastards Forest, but they've added something. Have to say Rice has won me over. Didn't get the hype at all a year ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he was probably under pressure from a certain manager on the touchline and the Arsenal players but does sound like Luton didn't help themselves in this case.

We all know how much officials/FA favour the bigger clubs. You're right, it isn't added but in this case the Luton player was blatantly wasting a lot of time. We've seen this scenario playing out hundreds of times: These players need to understand that is better to have a hectic flow of continuous play rather than time wasting or giving away stupid fouls in the midfield. The team chasing and seeking desperately for a goal will make more mistakes when the ball is actively on play. I don't know if these instructions are given by the managers or the players just do what they want when it comes to situations like this. If I remember well we lost a game against Arsenal the same way in our winning title season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not fully convinced these 3 teams are that bad. I have a feeling they'll start to earn more points somehow around Christmas time. I'm probably wrong though and my festive mood won't bring suddenly any quality to their game. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
