Ally Bongo Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I doubt anyone, apart from the match officials. Meppen players & fans, doesnt see it as ungentlemanly conduct but it's a clear example of playing to the whistle and putting the ball out of play if you want the game stopped I believe the coup de grace was the same fella scoring the equaliser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Ceelo Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Could have passed it to his goalie or put it out the park, guy took good advantage of the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 My initial reaction was fair play to him, it's not a head injury so not sure why the other player was so keen to stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMcoolJ Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Kind of depends on the context. If the guy with the ball who tried to stop was looking for an opportunity to waste time then I think it's fine. Anything else then it's a bit scummy of the lad to take the ball and score.

Orraloon Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 "Play to the whistle" - pretty basic stuff really. The manager should be raging with his own player, not the guy who scored or the ref. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandydunn Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Ball was in play, very intelligent football imo. Too much of that going on, I'll bet if it was in the other half and they had a chance to score, he wouldn't be pissing about on the ball like that.

DoonTheSlope Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Play to the whistle. It's a complete non story The game is becoming more and more soft. Nothing worse than a player goes down injured, opposing team put it out for a throw, the injured players team takes a throw and plays it back to the opponents keeper. Then you get the wanky round of applause in the stands. It's absolutely pathetic. It's up their with players refusing to celebrate goals against former teams aswell as fans applauding former players before and during the game (former players being subbed I can live with) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can guarantee people will applaud Hayes if he plays at pittodrie, I'll be giving him the same treatment as every other Celtic player on the park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddardStark Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Would love to know if the injured player actually got up and carried on. All about context. If the player had a broken leg or serious injury then the scorers actions would be seen a reprehensible. But as has been alluded there is too much of players stopping play and gaining advantage or breaking down opponents attacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had a broken leg etc, it would be up to the ref to stop the game, not the players. I would be raging if Aberdeen stopped on the ball and allowed rangers to score in this manner (used as an example as it is our teams), just as much as I regularly do when a team is attacking with a man down, then cry blue murder when they lose possession and demand the ball is played out by the opposition, it certainly shouldn't be given back to the team that did knock it out either, one of my pet hates in football (alongside stealing yards at free kicks and throw ins) but that's another thread completely.

euan2020 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 if you choose to stop play, you need to put the ball out of play plenty of times, refs play advantage when attacking team has advantage even after a foul has been committed, and he goes back and books player - play to the whistle or put ball out of play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenfrewBlue Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 It's up to the ref to stop the game. If you want it stopped put the ball out. The defender is a halfwit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Think it depends on context. If it's all pretty genuine, it's a bit out of order, but if the defending team were time wasting at every turn and rolling out every trick in the book, they deserve all they get... I do like a good old fashioned bounce up though, to go off at a slight tangent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
