The obvious point is that he was allowed to waste that time against us. I'm sure he tried to do it against everyone, but he wasn't able to get away with it.
His time wasting in this fixture was legendary... ...until we scored the winner with a few minutes left...then he ran around like a greyhound to the strain of "Foster, Foster, You're a ****." at full volume from a few hundred fans behind the goal. He looked as depressed as hell. On a freezing cold night, it was heartwarming stuff.
Graham Scott was the ref and Foster wasn't even booked. I'm sure something similar happened with Joe Hart at one point, too. Can't place the match.
That's the one! Rainy, ****ty, boring Burnley and Hart wasted tons of time all night. Eriksen scored in the 91st minute and then Hart was running around like a blue arsed fly! They had no shots and timewasted all game. Graham Scott was the ref again and Hart wasn't booked then, either.
Was there for that...and for him doing exactly the same for west brom at wembley in 17/18 in a 1-1 draw...and for Joe Hart doing it for Burnley. Infuriating paying money to watch him ****ing around from minute one and not being punished until the 88th minute.
The West Brom match was the only one where the keeper was booked. 82nd minute. We conceded after 4 minutes and the timewasting was so bad that the BBC mentioned it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42035412 "Foster frustrated the hosts by slowing the game down at every opportunity, and he was eventually booked by referee Mike Jones in the 82nd minute." I don't get why this isn't clamped down on in the Premier League, to be honest. It's bad for "the product", which seems to be their main concern. Nobody wants to watch endless timewasting. It's not entertaining.
The 3 games mentioned were so bad because the time-wasting started so early. Pretty certain that Foster got into something with a ball boy at Wembley to stop him giving it to one of our players to take a corner. Was an absolute red card yet I think he only got spoken to. Tbh he's a big reason that I dislike Watford and West brom. Here's a photo I took of the team celebrating after Eriksen scored the last minute goal v Burnley. The bloke in the middle was aiming his mid finger salute to Hart
Yeah, he kicked the ballboy and got nothing. Ludicrous. Dier questioned the ref about the timewasting and he admitted that he wasn't going to do anything: https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnati...foster-time-wasting-match-official-mike-jones "He said [to us] that he doesn't want to be the referee that blows the whistle for someone holding the ball longer than six seconds, because no-one does. But if someone doesn't do it, then the goalkeeper's going to end up holding the ball for 30 seconds, 45 seconds. "I think it's [meant to be] six seconds and sometimes it was a lot longer than 20 seconds for sure. I guarantee you." They're just ****ing ****.
New regulations this season so that yellow cards are shown much earlier. It's been happening. I'm yet to see what happens if they continue to time waste-will they get a red (second yellow )?
Has a keeper ever been sent off in the Premier League for timewasting? I can't remember it, if it has happened.
Hearts were losing 2-1 from the first leg and level on the night. ****ing idiot. Went on to lose 1-0 (3-1 on agg.) and now they're in the Conference.
That game is a fine memory. I’m somewhere a few rows in front of you to the right. Soaked, pissed as a fart and overjoyed
