Matt Ryan

[piston broke]

From the 7th minute went for a drink from his bottle every time the ball went out for a goal kick. This is the referees responsibility and he should have clamped down on it early.

Refs only add meaningful time on in the second half.
We do similar only less obvious.

I’d say it’s a bit rich to complain about time wasting by goalkeepers, Pope is terrible and not even subtle about it.

[shulgin]

Probably did us a favour by timewasting in fairness and retrospect

No he's not. it just takes him longer than others to get up, position a ball and kick the mud out of his boots!!!!

Honeslty, some people just have it in for our players!

[piston broke]

No argument about Pope time wasting but the way he strolled to the right side of his goal and then went off to get the ball before taking his kick on the left side proper ticked me off.

[Juan Tanamera]

Pope's already been booked for time wasting hasn't he?

That’s why I said we do it.

Seems to be a thing with Aussies and cheating lately...

I never actually saw him tampering with his balls.

[Rileybobs]

He’s an Aussie and won’t be used to balmy spring English afternoons like today so I think he can be excused for remaining hydrated.

If we had another 90 mins yesterday we still would not have scored. Both wingers were MIA along with Wood & Vokes. Will prob be the same type of result against Eddies team.

[KRBFC]

We had this guy on trial years ago I think

[skibum84]

I don’t blame Matt Ryan. It’s the refs that have no control over the players and just let them get away with it.

It’s never talked about in the media because people watching on tv you don’t notice it with replays being shown. It’s only the fans at stadiums who loose out.

Your nearly right, he actually had 2 bottles and had a drink from both before he managed to get the game going.

[Lancasterclaret]

I think we've nailed time wasting to the same level as our fellow premier league teams if we are being fair.

Its annoying, but as we do it as well its not really something that I feel we can complain about.

[Quickenthetempo]

Edited post as it wasn't supposed to encourage moaning at our players.

Three times - at Liverpool, Manchester United and West Brom.

To be honest, didn't spot anything from Mat Ryan yesterday but we are very much in the glass house when it comes to time wasting.

Nearly 100 minutes of football is plenty of time to score a goal.

It's our tactics and players you should moan about.

Very disappointing if anyone is moaning about our tactics or players given what we've achieved.

Have you noticed how far Pope leaves his drink and towel from the goal? This seems to be so he can waste more time when needed.

[Foulthrow]

But - seriously - when you look at the effort that goes in to VAR - why, oh, why do we not see some simple steps taken to sort the time wasting out. It would be so easy.


But, as a poster above suggests - tv likes it so they can show replays and inane shots of managers.

[MACCA]

Take the team names names away from the game and put the same instances for Burnley away at Man C, Liverpool , Chelsea etc and is put my mortgage on the visiting GK getting booked.

Because it's Brighton at Burnley the normal procedures go out of the window

I haven't seen a Burnley keeper waste as much time as Pope.

Other than one incident, where it was the outfield players messing about before leaving it for him, I didn't even notice Ryan doing it yesterday.


Got to mention his claw away in the goalmouth scramble though, that was top goalkeeping.

You’re not old enough to remember the time wasting master Alan Stevenson. We used to joke that he could waste 15 out of the last 10 minutes if we were in front.

[Cubanclaret]

Not sure there’s any moral high ground to seek here. Pope is a terrible time waster !

[joey13]

Maybe he was thirsty

Am I correct that we had Mat Ryan on trial 10 years ago? any reason we didn't sign him?

Brian was due a 'testimoanial!'

Can’t confirm it but seem to remember it. Not sure when though.

That was the strange summer for goalkeepers. We agreed deals for both Dan Nizic & Nick Liversedge but they didn’t come into effect for a year.

Pope is very good at catching an easy cross and falling to the floor as and when required
