And I don't understand why they do it. 

They're a decent team.

Done it before too 🤷‍♂️

The corner was given at just over 96mins, their captain complained and the ref pointed at the lad who went down 'injured' after 90 minutes.  
The pen is blatant but so was the one 5 minutes earlier when linesman just ignored it. 

Lolos does not handle it either. 
 

Course they will be pissed off but all 3 calls by the ref were right IMO.

The 'extra' injury time was fully justified.  One thing I'd never complain about if we lost a game in about the 100th minute is that the ref played too long.  They never, ever add on enough time to make up for all the stoppages and delays (deliberate or otherwise).  Both teams are allowed to score in injury time, we managed it because we were doing all the attacking.  There will be games when we are hanging on at the death and if we concede I hope we never moan about how long was played, just defend for as long as you have to.

Anyway, is 99th minute our latest ever winning goal at this stadium? 

A nice reward for those of us that stayed to the bitter end, finally!  If I'm not mistaken its 2 years to the week since our last late decisive goal here (v Burton).  Can't remember the last one on a Saturday.

When the 6 minutes went up Peterborough made a sub. Obviously in no rush to get off the pitch this added about 40 seconds on to the 6 extra minutes. Let's round it up to 1 minute. If they hadn't have made the sub they wouldn't have lost. Simples.

V Shrewsbury, the ref did not play the minimum time despite 2 or 3 delays after 90. So IE headbutted someone. Refs know not to mess now. 😎

Oh, you youngsters.

With six seconds of stoppage time played Welsh referee Clive Thomas whistled for full-time a moment before Brazil scored. His decision reverberated around the world and he was never to officiate at another World Cup Finals. 

1978 World Cup.

Admittedly a long time ago.

These days I think, quite rightly, 'a phase' of play is allowed to end before blowing. 

 

Better version of it

Thomas was one of the worst type of referees. Those who feel they are part of the offering. He adored controversy.

He was involved in another controversy refereeing the 1977 FA Cup semi-final between Everton & Liverpool.

At 2–2 in the closing stages, Thomas dubiously disallowed what should have been the winning goal from Everton's Bryan Hamilton for handball.

The first bit of time wasting I spotted was on 20 minutes

Fair weather snooper

Lolos on the bench for them.

Could do with him today.

We can definitely win this game.

They are shit and we’ve done ok.

Quote
3-1. Someone tell Elliot to hide in the bog and make no changes. Actually, lock him in there.
Quote
Only 35% possession so far but who cares about that!
Quote

Becoming chaotic, ref dishing cards out like confetti, GET A GRIP ELLIOT, we were 2 up and up and if we do not win this you must be sacked immediately the final whistle goes Elliot!

Quote

3-3 and who helps Wanderers score Lolos GET OUTTA THIS FOOTBALL CLUB ELLIOT OUT

Quote

12 minutes added.
We are fooked

Quote
Forrester was lucky that his punch to the head of Radcliffe, when he had to get treatment, was the wrong side of the officials. Although not sure where the ref got the 12 minutes from unless he is on the payroll of Bolton.
Quote
As soon as Bolton got back to 2-3 I knew we'd end up losing 4-3. Exeter all over again, only worse.
Quote
Those Bolton fans are a friendly bunch on twitter. Would be nice to see them lose at Wembley again but doubt if they will make it with that squad. Cannot understand how Lolos does not start as they are not a great side.
Quote

After the substitutions , downhill from there.

TWELVE fckn minutes of extra time, come on.

If our defensive frailties don’t relegate us, then the officials will make sure we are anyway.

Anyone who’s sat through the time wasting tactics of many teams at the Broadfield this season, can anyone remember a single game where we got ourselves 12 mins of added time to play with?

Never. Having said that, we screwed up today big time and threw it away.Elliot must take a large part of the blame..

Quote

After watching game on I follow we are our worst enemies. I thought Cox should have done better for their first goal. As for their second we give them a free kick in a dangerous position then fanny about whilst they take it quickly.
Feely did not even wait for the referee to send him off. He started walking immediately. He appears far too slow to play at this level.
We are desperately short of decent defenders.

Quote

Just watched our goals there.

3 cracking goals, real good finishes.

Officials didn’t lose us the game this time but not sure how it’s possible to take a free kick with one of our players down injured. They scored their second from that action.

That can’t happen. But it did today, because it’s Crawley FC and we’re small fry.

Well that sucks. Lovely stadium though.

And three goals in front of the away fans

Scroll forward past all the “we wiz robbed” rhetoric to where he complains about the ref ignoring the “Three serious head injuries”

If he's claiming that shouldn't three players miss the next 7 days ?

Nice one Micky 😄

Ref spot on with the big decisions.

Never got chance to say cheers for the chips, they went down a treat 👍😄

Right, going to have to break this up a bit whilst working. Predictions first.

I’m going 0-3 Blues. We really don’t look like conceding even when the oppo apply a bit of pressure.

Quote

Bolton score a few but concede a lot. I'm going 1-2 for Blues

Quote

5-0 Blues

Quote

No laird, no pace. No Alsopp, no out ball to mix it up and beat the press.

Nobody will have a better chance to beat us. If we don't lose this, we go unbeaten the rest of the season.

Quote

Amount of times this season I’ve read the words ‘I’d take a draw now’ in prediction threads, which we have then gone on to win relatively comfortably.

Quote

Every time now I think the law of averages says we must come unstuck soon I'd settle for a draw and every time they outperform.

We're nearly there now, and as long as we can keep the first choice team fit for Wembley I don't mind if we drop a few points along the way. I don't care about setting records - just get us out of the hellhole that's L1 and win that effing cup.

Quote

I just think we're likely to lose at once more in the league and this looks the most loseable.

So 8-0 Blues, Klarer hat-trick

Quote

This feels like it has the hallmarks of a potential loss. Bolton are in decent form, I suspect they probably have a top 6 squad which wasn't being used well by Evatt. Importantly they probably know they have to start picking up unlikely wins to give them the momentum to get and stay in the play-offs. Their nearest rivals both have tricky home games as well.

We have loads of injuries and some players probably running close to empty. Losing Allsop does bring BPF back in with his tendency to make the occasion rickett but even more so Laird who has been our best attacking player in recent times with Anderson. We don't score many so it could be 1-0 either way I think (or maybe 1-1)

Quote

1-1.

Think this game will be a bit more difficult with the new manager bounce they have and injuries are slowly building up.

Quote

Think this might be our Banana Skin moment,1-0.Notlob.

Quote

BPF in goal so its a 2-1 loss.

Quote

Anyway just realised I haven't given my own prediction yet

2-1 defeat with Peacock-Farrell at fault for both
