Video would certainly show them present but I have a distinct recollection of players retrieving balls & general slowness of ball return in that period remember commenting on it at the time which then disappeared after we scored and a general sense of balls being pinged back with urgency again commented at that time. They may have been standing in their positions but not being used, however this does not detract from the results. The initial comment was more about calling out Rae time wasting which is no worse & indeed much better than some in this league (Morton in particular). and all teams indulge in gamesmanship from time to time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I've got absolutely no issue with time wasting, it's up to the referee to stop it, not the team. It's happened plenty over the years, as recent as QP sending a man round the park to tell the ball boys to slow down from minute 36 once they scored . I prefer "game management" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer "game management" It is termed "home field advantage", after all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
