Opposition stood around for a few minutes after the goal at a time when their eager to go at us again. Warne can get his message across to the players in the meantime in prep for the last 5 mins of the match.

I remember how Mings having lengthy treatment squashed any chance of us equalizing in the Villa playoff final. Wildsmith's game management is a massive bonus for us. I understand many "purists" on here will disagree, but I admire his professionalism. I don't want us to be plucky losers. Professionalism? You must be joking. This needs stamping out the way surrounding the ref is being done. Tamworthram, Kathcairns, Rammy03 and 2 others 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would definitely criticise Wildsmith for was his reaction in front of the home fans after the final whistle. Do that at The Den or Elland Road and all hell could break loose - absolutely no need for it. The Posh fans had it right. He is a wa***er Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect 15 mins would be too draconian for football,but not allowing players to immediately re-join the game having spent 5 minutes rolling around holding their heads makes a deal of sense. Perhaps they could be excluded for as long as the break in play incurred? It's not lost on me that quite a stark difference between the two sports is that a lot of footballers too much time pretending to be injured, whereas most rugby players (often to the detriment of their health) spend entire games pretending they are not. Football, a gentleman's game played by hooligans. Rugby, a hooligan's game played by gentlemen. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Wildsmith did was completely different imo, literally every team in the country will do the same. Passing it back to the keeper used to be a rule that teams exploited to the absolute max until they changed the rules and this is the same, it’s a case of if we don’t do it too we are at a disadvantage so we may as well join them imo. It’s up to then to change the rules to saw we can’t. Is it bad sportsmanship? 100% yes. Is it against the rules? Not yet I don’t think. It’s annoying I’ll admit but it could gain us around 10 points come the end of the season. 1 hour ago, Ramslad1992 said: No apology needed mate, it’s 100% different though, we apparently broke the rules regarding FFP and I don’t know enough to argue that we didn’t.

CBRammette Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Problem is Wildsmith is not clever enough or good enough actor to not look ridiculous doing it. Gets reputation for it. Then we will moan when refs make decisions against him. Or riles other teams up so fans get more vocal encouraging team and they're also more determined to score. Dont think it works positively for us and he looks an idiot.

Refs won’t give fouls on him easily as he always moans or exaggerates. Already seen him blocked off a couple of times and barged into without a free kick being given Kathcairns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtains Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Did anyone notice when Peterborough scored their 2nd goal one of their players bashed into Wildsmith.

BatRam Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Personally i dont like that side of the game. Its embarrassing. Rather players have a punch up like the old days instead of pretending to be injured 🤣 Kathcairns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
