Amid the gloom at Maidstone I couldn't help chuckle when we'd pulled it back to 4-2 and their goalkeeper appeared to try to waste time by repairing an imaginary divot on an artificial pitch.
Anyone witnessed any other bizarre time-wasting antics down the years?

To be fair their goalkeeper wasted a lot of time and the ref did sod all about it

The worst I've ever seen was Billy Turley and Brackley when we drew 0-0 at our place.
Think they were 2nd or 3rd and clearly came for the point. One of the most frustrating games I've ever seen

This is about the most ridiculous I've seen.

The Tranmere keeper at their place earlier on this season was bad. Kept on diving behind the ball without anyone around him, and would only put his hands on it when someone got
near him. If i'd have been out there he'd have got a moutfull of studs at some point, as i'd have just dived straight in, as he was clearly taking the piss.

Refs need to be stricter on this. I've seen keepers waste time all through the second half and the ref only decides to get his book out in the 94th minute. It should be one warning then a booking. Keepers would have to get on with it if they've already been booked after an hour. Of course if we're defending a 1 goal lead I have a very different opinion...

One of the most frustrating games I've ever seen Turley certainly got both barrels at at the away game that season. Some of the abuse was over the top to be honest but he lost the plot, spraying our fans with water from his bottle at half time. There was also a hilarious moment when someone threw the remains of a hot dog on to the pitch and Turley chucked it back. One of his antagonisers, a huge bloke, complained to a policeman about Turley throwing a hotdog. The copper took one look at him and replied: "To be be fair, it doesn't look like it will go to waste". Left us all in stitches and totally defused what could have been a nasty situation. Great game that...Ben Mills ran them ragged that day. What ever happened to him?...... |

Does coaching now with kids. Shame, was great for us initially. One of my favourites, when times were great. |

Yes, it's uncanny how keepers get booked right at the end of the game when they've been wasting time all the way through it! Such an annoyance when you see all the little 'tricks of the trade' go unpunished only to see a mandatory 4 minutes injury time added. |

Why don't the refs just stop the clock then. Stop the clock, can't time wast, plus you'd then actually get 90 minutes of football, not 26 or whatever it averages out too.

Scott Davies is a prime example of a keeper timewasting. I trust the Harry Mac will give him and the obnoxious Andy Cook a good reception when Rovers visit.

How about adding on twice as much time than has been wasted. That might make some think twice before doing it.

Whenever the away team are winning. The crafty gets always get away with it and I also remember Scott Davies at Tranmere. How many times did he waste time?

It's easier for us to complain though when our team is often chasing games late in the game.
When the shoe is on the other foot, which it rarely is, I'm all for us time wasting it's part of the game. It's called defending a lead

Stopped taking the piss when Astles banged the equaliser past him though. |

It's called defending a lead Chester were doing at home to Southport when it was 2-2 and they were chasing a winner. |

Spot on Dodge. People are oblivious to their own team doing it. Suddenly becomes acceptable tactical using up of the clock; or words to that effect. Personally I hate it and will criticise it regardless of which team is guilty of it. Players being injured off the pitch but finding the strength to roll back on is one of the funniest I have seen; even seen a player stand up, take a couple of steps back on to the pitch then collapse again!

I vaguely remember a story about Mark Wright telling Wayne Brown to kick the ball out of the ground when we were 2-1 up at Gravesend (I think) in the last few minutes during the 2000s! Trying to waste a few more seconds by having no balls to play with....

I'd like to see a similar rule to rugby being implicated with regards to injured players. The game continues to be played whilst the player is receiving treatment. That'd stop any players that don't actually have anything wrong with them going down to waste time. Just say if a player is receiving treatment they are essentially "out" of play to avoid the offside rule triggering.

That Frickley keepers owes me 20 mins of my life back. Watching him time waste in that 2 - 2 was a joke!
