My only guess would be that they're still in their full kit with nothing covering their shirt. I don't know.

I'm pretty certain we won't, we will just keep the ball in playFrustrating as hell but if we are 1 up at Boro on Saturday with about 10 minutes to go I'm pretty certain we'll be doing the same.

The worst rule brought in which contributes the most to time wasting
Taking the goal kicks from whichever side you want.
Noticed numerous times when the lesser teams come and the keeper strolls across the goal to the other side and if it goes out that side strolls to the other.

Some keepers have it down to a fine art, the ex Everton yank did (forget his name) he would run out to the edge of his box after a shot went wide and would pretend to be bollocking his defence before strolling back to decide which side to take it from.

Football just needs a timekeeper who stops the clock when play stops, no time wasting,no phantom extra minutes, and counting down the last seconds might be fun.It could mean reducing game time to 35-40 mins each half, but I am sure thats more than some matches as things currently stand.
If I've said it once I must have said it twice: there is no better way to 'massage' a result than the outrageous notion that the game consists of two forty-five minute halves! At least the Stoke goalie wasn't trying to break Schwarzer's record of how long to waste at a goal kick.

I think we were alittle guilty today of game management,the amount of time the ball didn't come out of the area after a goal kick.
gk pass to defender , defender thinks he will be under a little pressure play the ball before the ball comes out the area.
