Swindon Town vs Cambridge United Matchday Thread

[No Longer Posh Red]

Ref has to be put his hand up to indicate he’s got to 5 & will then countdown from 5 to 0 - while also displaying the count with his fingers

The ref at Walsall was doing the same

That sounds good then. I'm sure there will be more gamesmanship tricks up teams sleeves to replace the timewasting keeper.

Ripley looked like he knew what he was doing in terms of the new rule, timed it well as well in terms of game management and the ref counting down because I’m aware that they’re strict in it and have been involved in games where it’s already been enforced. It’s all to counter time-wasting but teams will always find a way around these sorts of things.
