Was it a case of time wasting?

Now, I will come to the rest of the game in a minute, but this decision beggars belief. For the past season and a half Doey has been one of our best and most consistent players. Even Arnu changed his mind on him!!! This year him and Saah have generally looked very very good. I cannot remember Doe putting a foot wrong. Now if he is injured then fair enough (can't see anyone has replied to Lee to say if he was), but he was out there at half time. If he isn't then the decision looked strange before and after 68 minutes it looked ridiculous. We were frankly a shambles at the back all afternoon. Even after the equaliser we looked like conceding again!!! Bad call that one Wayne!!!
The rest of the game, well the last 25 minutes, carnage!!! One of the craziest half hours of football (well bit more with the break!!) I have seen at Victoria Road. Quit where that spell came from I don't know!! The first 15 minutes I thought we looked good, and then the next 50 were dreadful, as bad as we have been all season. I know they are a decent side but we lacked any urgency, and control and any threat. Rhys may has well have been at London Road!!! But fair play, the never say die Daggers attitude turned things around, and the atmosphere in that last few minutes was as good as it has been for years.
Arnu, the injury time of 5 mins was a joke. 5 goals, 5 subs, a long injury to Burton and some other stoppages, it should have been 7 or 8. All very well the ref standing there telling us he is stopping the clock while Burton waddled off, but clearly didn't stop it for long enough!!!
From the point that 5 minutes was announced, there were 5 minutes played. The BBC shows a 3 minute gap where nothing happened which ends with the "Delay over", and the start of that seems to be about the same time they went off. Weirdly, the gap also has a corner to us, which is what I'm sure the restart should have been when the players came back out.Crushed Dreams wrote:

Watched the highlights, ref got the drop ball spot on in the same position as he stopped it.Daggers No 2 Fan wrote:From the point that 5 minutes was announced, there were 5 minutes played.

Weird what the memory does. But it isn't anywhere near spot on. Shields has the ball level with the edge of the area when he stops it. The "drop ball" (he incorrectly throws it) is taken at least 15 yards back down the pitch from there.matt_drfc wrote:Watched the highlights, ref got the drop ball spot on in the same position as he stopped it.Daggers No 2 Fan wrote:From the point that 5 minutes was announced, there were 5 minutes played.

Going by the way our defenders were up, there was a corner just before. Spot on doesn't mean same area.matt_drfc wrote:When I say spot on I don't mean it literally, it was the same area, definitely not a corner like you suggested. It was stopped due to the lightening wasn't it?
