    No all of the game but it got progressively worse because the officials did sweet FA to deal with it !

    Could easily stop it if you start handing yellow cards out. Almost pointless booking keepers for time wasting, they take thr piss after knowing they won’t be punished

    Was screaming at the TV watching the blatant time wasting. We did not play well, but the one thing that stood out for me was how the players reacted to the crowd.
    A sense of injustice fired the crowd which lifted the players to a better level.
    Do the players need to give us something to shout about, or should we be shouting to drive the players on. When the crowd are on it the players seem to be on it.
    Years of dissapointment leads to the crowd being unsure and it seems a bit of trepidation and a bit of uncertainty has crept in.
    Basically what I am saying is this team seems to need the crowd more than most.

    Mowbray is a better manager than le bris FACT or Keane this team are no where near as as good as the 1998-99 team fact again no Cattermole or Ball in midfield weak as hell yes a good team we have but they fall away time after time, frankly who next in charge next season ?

    Under Mowbray we qualified for the play offs on the last game of the season, under Le Bris we are more or less there with 9 games to go FACT.
    Monty talks out his arsehole on a daily basis FACT

    Time wasting by any player should be a booking for the manager and actually follow up with a red it if continues

    Didn't really get many after the match the other day with should have brought Monty in and had no strikers comment so you try again. (Even I just put laughing emojis and I bite like **** to ya!)

    Wind up merchant FACT!

    Thankfully we couldn't really complain at the final result and it didn't really affect our season.

    People were still angry and quite a few were out of their seats goading the Preston players and supporters.

    Just imagine if that was a playoff second leg and the away team were hanging on for a draw.

    My point is that action needs to be taken before this cheating happens in a critical match and there's serious trouble.

    No doubt action would be taken against Sunderland if there was.

    Great idea , and it could be retrospective leading even to a points reduction.

    Just looked at the cheat again. From the main camera angle, I can't see any contact with upper body, let alone face or head.
    But he's grasping face (as they do) as he lays on ground. Then the absolute give away ( which the EFL should consider). He looks up to see if play has stopped. It hasn't, so head back down and starts that pathetic ''fit'' jerking to attract attention.
    Leaps up no problem - and check the smile which says ''did it, it worked''

    Yeah, I noticed on the night, when he lifted his head to see if the game was still going. If it was Porteus he was on 9 cards, and should have been booked for 2 game ban

    I saw that too. Couldn’t have been more obvious if he wanted to be.

    Also he never acknowledged the fact that they attempted to restart the game with somebody still on the pitch who had just been substituted off. The cheeky twat made his way to the other side when all the commotion was going on hoping it wasn't noticed. That coupled with the centre half holding his head on the pen spot then jumping up the second the ref stopped the game is actually blatant cheating and that is a fact.
