At one point the ref went and took the ball off him and put it on the ground to tell him to get in with it. It was early on and he was stood having a debate with the cb, which they did several times to slow it down.
I meant to ask what was going on in those instances. The ref seemed to join in the chats for a while. I thought the ball was flat or something initially.

What made it more annoying is that the referee told them to get on with it, took the ball off the keeper and then put it on the floor which allowed the keeper to waste even more bloody time deciding whether to kick it long or pass it short! Referee should've bloody booked him then and there for time wasting

Seen 2 keepers booked for time wasting before the 80th minute in my life.

Lionel Perez and Anthony Patterson!

Easy fix, add a 10 second rule. Once you have the ball, ten seconds to get it back into play. Throw in, goal kick, etc. booking or decision against you if not. Maybe the decision against is a good idea. I.e. you don’t take a goal kick in ten seconds, it’s a corner etc etc

Wasn't that rule brought in years ago? Seems that it has been ignored and forgotten about

Everyone knows my love in for the Cirkin but seriously , when did he turn into prime Marcelo man. Some of the spins and touches last night.
If he remains fit there’ll be bids for him in January. Class act

There was a scout from Frankfurt there last night looking at him, there is def a lot of interest in him

Spurs will be keeping a close eye ad I wouldnt be surprised if they tried to activate thr buy back then sell on

He’s brilliant. There was a fair few online who were advocating giving up on him after the injuries - particularly last season. There’s lots of hard work and attitude that’s gone into getting him back, as well as probably a bit of luck (or an absence of bad luck). But the lesson is to never write off talent. There’s probably one or two in the squad now who are at a low point, but who’ll come back to make a strong impact at safc. If they make half the impact that DC has, they’ll do nicely.
