O'Hare has played much better since he stopped falling over so easily.If you actually play the clip instead of show a screenshot you can see the player knocks the ball to the side and runs in between the ball and Wilson, then the acting from him after was pathetic, that number 8 was a good player but it was comedic how he was constantly diving, stay on your feet, I get frustrated when O’hare does the same thing at least he got up rather than role around to get a penalty
Always baffles me why, when we have the most fouled player planet (and therefore win more free kicks in the final 3rd), we play Gyok and a midget up front.
Dion Dublin would have been getting 30 a season.
40 then.Dion Dublin was an England premier league player
Thought he was probably best ref of the season tbh, but tarnished slightly by stopping play when we were on the attack on that occasion.
Best of a bad bunchAgreed he was the best ref, and he handled the head injury stoppage brilliantly.

Don’t understand this one - everyone around me was losing their shit over it, but we got the ball back in the same position uncontested, so did it even impact us?
Stopped the flow of the game. It clearly wasn't a head injury.
You realise the difference between a counter attack and uncontested drop ball?Really? He let the game continue for longer than most refs would have, then after the player had been dealt with we got the ball back uncontested in the same position and continued to attack them. It didn’t change the flow of the game at all.

It's like saying a free kick with a wall is the same as a player being through on goal in the same position.
Ruins momentum, allows opposition to get their shape etc., plus you're hoping the ref will add on sufficient time for the stoppage. Definitely more likely to work in favour of the team defending a lead. If it didn't, they wouldn't do it would they?Don’t understand this one - everyone around me was losing their shit over it, but we got the ball back in the same position uncontested, so did it even impact us?
Fully support the ref's decision, and I think it's frustration at the way the rules work that it encourages gamesmanship and something needs to be done to disincetivise teams from faking it, like not having that player able to return for a set amount of time as stated above.Unfortunately the referee there had no choice and thought it was a head injury-so a mandatory stoppage of the game is the right call. Of course we all have our own opinions…..

Definitely needs some sort of rule that denies the injured player re-entering play for a set period after play restarts, say at least a minute or until the other team have lost possession.
But how do we know if play had continued that we might have scored. As it was it slowed the game down, which is affecting our momentum in a small way, even if we do still manage to keep on attacking after.Did the stoppage ruin our momentum? I don’t remember us struggling to create chances, or them getting back into the game afterwards.
It was almost certainly a bit of gamesmanship from them but the way the referee handled it meant it didn’t impact us all. Good for him!
I thought the fact that he only allowed 3 minutes of added time was poor. There were six subs which should have been 3 minutes for that alone. ( I know two of ours came on together). We had the palava with the penalty plus the usual time wasting goal celebration. And then we had their goalkeeper prancing around every time there was a goal kick. The fact that no time was added on for any of this I thought was poor and a reward for time wasting.Thought the referee was excellent yesterday, only criticism was he could have done a bit more about Nicholls' timewasting but they weren't the worst for it at all.
Definitely helped that you had 2 teams who wanted to play the game & to a good standard.
I can't recall the ball going out of play at all for the opening 6 or 7 minutes. Huddersfield often play for set pieces with Sorba Thomas or Sinani being exceptional at them but without them 2 they were content to keep the ball in play which really helped the game flow.

He was the most successful at time wasting as he managed to look busy doing it. Those little throws to the CB who would catch the ball, put it down, then take the goal kick but giving it back to the keeper. Huddersfield were had loads of little bits of gamesmanship going on. All the about killing momentum and creating confusion. Maybe we need to be a bit more like that.

Didn’t their guy’s injury occur in added time? If so then the extra two minutes would have come from that. Overall he probably still played only 3 minutes.I was in agreement at the time & said as much to my mate at the game but have since seen he played 95mins which sounds about right.
I think Wilson had to go for it. If he stayed on his line the Huddersfield lad would’ve had a free, relatively easy, chance on goal.Thing that frustrates me about those type of penalties, is that the player has hit the ball out of play and is never going to get to it, yet because the keeper hits him, which he’s played for, it’s a foul.
It’s not like he’s stopped a goal scoring opportunity.
but, I guess foul is a foul no matter where you’ve kicked the ball. When you make a decision to go for the ball as Wilson did yesterday, you’ve got to make sure you get there first. He did with one first half, not that one…
Player goes down with a perceived head injury should have an automatic 5 minute assessment by the medical staff , no blood sub allowed , same as when they squeal and roll around as if been shot
Managers would soon encourage them to only stay down if they're really hurt , it's the worse thing in football at the moment imo
I don’t like it either but how many away teams have come with their shithousery and got something for it?No thanks.
