My frustration is the complete lack of game awareness that referees have.
Its tied to time wasting, but niggley fouls and slowing the ball down after them, the sitting on the floor. All of those are so obvious, and I would yellow card immediately for them. They are more disruptive than anything in a game.
There was a point on Monday when their player went down. The referee stopped the game and delayed an attacking throw-in for us. In the meantime, one of their defenders has gone over to talk to the manager. The player on the desk then gets up because he doesn't want to go off and get treatment (shock). The referee sets the game back up, and we go to take the throw-in and continue the already delayed attack. The referee notices their defender talking to Corberan and then stops the game and beckons their defender back onto the pitch and allows him time to reach his position in the defensive shape.
What the fuck is that about?
Not only have you allowed them to slow the game down, disrupt our momentum, allow them to reset into their shape - but you've allowed a coaching break and allowed the player to then come back in delaying the game further.
