Not seen that level of time wasting, spare balls kicked on the pitch, walking the ball away when we had a free kick, feigning injury etc for a fair while.
The ref must have noticed it yet seemed to be happy to let it go.
Not the biggest issue today, but its a part of football that I hate. |  |

No different to others, issue is with the officials letting teams get away with it. |
Unfortunately, this counting business is giving refs something to hide behind. They don't have to deal with it, so long as they do a little count. But that ignores all the stuff before a player has the ball ready to put back into play. |  |

And it also allows the player to take the maximum amount of time allowed because the ref is giving him a handy way of knowing exactly how much time he has left to hang on to the ball. Once the ref starts counting, no team that's leading will take the throw or the goalkeeper get rid of the ball on the count of two. |  | | |

They were also a very dirty team with 20 fouls to our 6. [Post edited 8 Nov 21:08]

Last season, it seemed like most of the championship thought that we were a bunch of diving cheats who feigned injury every five minutes. We weren’t at all but opposition fans tend to grab hold of issues which allows them to make excuses for their teams getting beaten.
Yes Bournemouth went down easily and wasted some time but in all honesty if that allowed us to cling onto three points we would be all for it. |  | | |

Bournemouth? One of the most pointless clubs in all of human history? Cheating? After their past 15 years of antics on and off the pitch? Really? Defended constantly by utter c@&£s Bournemouth?
Hmmmmmm Dubbers. |
If being pointless means being involved in European competition and looking likely to finish top eight then sign me up for that. | | | |

I sit in north upper, and everyone around me was waiting for var to overturn it, looked very soft, not seen a replay yet though. |
Do you remember when Fatawu got a second yellow for dragging his leg across so the defender made contact?
Mr Hooper had obviously forgotten it, because it was pretty similar. | | | |

Agree, the ref didn't help but they were absolute masters at it.
Yesterday to me felt like a game from the last time out in the PL. Competitive to a point but few real chances created and out muscled, out fought and lacked PL know how.
17th is the aim, Palace about to get Frank, Forest and Sunderland have turned a corner, Man U will do enough. It's going to take a big Cheateh point deduction and to finish above Hull and Cov for us to stay up I think. | |

Largely agree with that second paragraph. Though I think the early goal allowed them to dictate the state of the game, they didn't need to take risks, so left no space to play in the final third. That was even more apparent after the second goal. | |

Never rated Hooper much but what's the ref supposed to do , except add on minutes.
The biggest issue I infer is of course gifting goals. If we continue like that we don't stand much of a chance.
Disagree with some of the comments about the general performance though. Second best but not miles worse than Bournemouth. |  |

Your inference is correct.
We didn't give ourselves a chance today. | |
