Just read that Kovac has said, Martinez and Coman didn't had any cramps last night.
And Martinez took his own shoe off after a "foul" from Henderson, and it took two minutes to get it back on.

I really hate this side of football, especially from a side like Bayern.

Oh well. they won't change will they?

{Ed001's Note - so basically admitting cheating then? Sad that no one will even act to punish them. We all knew it at the time anyway.}

Stopped clock anyone? Might “slow the game down” as it’s detractors say, but would rule out time wasting for good and all.

So Kovac just admitted to them time-wasting by "not" admitting that they did. Got it, Sparky!

I'm all for the stopped clock but I'm more for proper punishments in order to remove this BS from football altogether but unfortunately bugger all will be done about it, as per usual.

{Ed025's Note - just another form of cheating im afraid salah...talking of downright cheats i thought mo louganis was poor last night.. :)

2 minutes to get it back on? 😄

Can’t he tie his laces? Maybe he should be wearing velcro fastening boots.

Stopped clock all day long, wanted it for years, as long as refs keep it moving no probs.

It’s not just the time though, it’s more about halting momentum and disrupting play. I’m sure the ref added time on.

the added time is too ambiguous.

Ed001 on your review of henderson you said he uses the tactical foul well on occasions. That's another form of cheating. Is that not sad?
If Liverpool are 1 up in Munich Liverpool players will be time wasting too.
That and feigning injury are traits i don't like. Clock stopping is 1 way to suppress time wasting for sure.

{Ed001's Note - I don't get your point, did I say I liked it on his profile? It is not me saying what I like about the game, it is saying what a player does well and doesn't do well. Why do people always have to turn it into an agenda?

If Liverpool are 1 up in Munich and time wasting then I would be disappointed as they should be going for a second to kill the game off. Especially as being 1 up would mean Munich would need 2 with the away goals rule, so you can afford to take the chance and go for the jugular. And there are different ways to time waste anyway, not by cheating but by just playing keep-ball.}

Yup, the coach admitted to cheating.
Sad really.

Totally agree the best way to kill a game off is to keep the ball and score another.
Im not turning it into an agenda but my pet hate is the tactical foul and for me a yellow is not punishment enough. But players are often praised for it or excused with comments like ' he took one for the team' for me its no worse than diving or rolling around eating time.

{Ed001's Note - I am in complete agreement. I hate it. It is cheating and should be called as much. You don't realise how often I reworded the profile on Henderson to put that in as I was trying not to give my opinion on those things, just on what is a strength or weakness of a player's game in terms of the results it gets.}

I hear you pal. I want having a go its just the phrase you hear all the time 'that was a good foul' for me it should be a 20 min sin bin there is no good way to cheat.
