foxsports.com.auDidn't WU have like 35% possession?? Time wasting might be a long bow to draw

31 according to fox

However did they manage to score 2 goals with all that time wasting and hardly any ball?!

There was a lot of time wasting. Stats don't show it.
That said though, we absolutely deserved to lose.

Strong words from Fowler. Someone go find me a clip of him time-wasting.

Rewatch one of their games this year.
Then he'll have wasted your time

Robbie needs to be careful here, 3 managers lost their jobs last season after being outplayed by Mark Rudans team. He's a hitman I tell you!

And the bench window lost its life!

I didn't watch the game, but was the timewasting really that bad?
I've commented a number of times before on just how incredibly lax HAL refs are on timewasting - things like kicking away after the whistle, cheekily poking the ball away from somebody wanting to take a throw or kick, even blocking free kicks. It's absurd.
They'll make an example out of the keeper every now and then but that's as far as they go with bothering to do their job when it comes to delaying the restart of play.

Once WU had their 2-0 lead, the time wasting was very blatant. There was one YC issues for an incredibly obvious 'kick the ball away when opponents have a free kick' move, but aside from that Chris Beath was happy to let them take their time.
Diamanti took forever to substitute, corners were approached at a slow walking pace, free kicks and throw-ins took 15+ seconds to decide where they were being taken, and in the last 10 minutes it felt like half the WU team had to have play stopped to address a cramp.
Don't get me wrong, Brisbane were terrible. They had more than 70% possession for significant chunks of the game and still couldn't score, but WU absolutely played the strategy of putting 11 behind the ball and wasting every second possible.
So far this season, Faghani is the only referee I've seen hand out consistent yellows for time wasting, and I wish more referees would get on top of it.

Given the way he handled himself with Wellington, it seems Rudan likes to act like a dick and then try and play the victim.
I hope he adjusts his attitude before it ruins his very promising coaching potential.
Nah, I like it. The A-League needs a new villain now that Muscat is gone.
I thought that was Babbel’s job?!
We need a new villain, not a temporary villain
Ouch.
Bruh imma need a skin graft for that burn
Considering the various ways he's reacted/allegedly reacted, he's pretty much sticking to character.
