Was there last night. Of course the game was won.
The problem was the coach and the players wanted it to end with about 20 minutes to go and stopped playing, indulged in blatant time wasting.
I've seen IB interviewed about when this has been done to Notts and it's 'I would've done the same'. Boy was he true to his word.
From what I've seen and heard time-wasting is getting out of control this season. It's blatant cheating and for me what IB's 'Being brave" should mean is not falling to the same low standard. Don't condone cheating and keep playing to the ******* end.
What was he thinking? At 0-2 against 10, we should have been chasing goal difference by going for 3 or 4. It was the exact opposite of that, we tried to shut up shop and by doing that let them back into the game. Rodders was our best player, he shouldn't have been taken off.
IB will lose me and other fans if he condones cheating. 'Game management' is part of the game, but so is putting teams to to the sword if you want to be a top team in your league. You can't just scrub out and wish away 20 mins like that, it's negative, it's anti-football and it's cheating.
