Don’t like seeing it.

We had them on the ropes, just keep going.

What happened to a bit of fair play.
You're right, time-wasting is infuriating and cheats the fans. If I was a Middlesbrough fan, I wouldn't have been happy with the amount of time-wasting we did last night.

However, we were on the ropes in the second half, the more that ball was in play (let's face it, we couldn't get hold of it!) the more chance Boro had of getting the equaliser and a likely winner.
If I'm totally honest, I wasn't bemoaning Allsop eating up the time.

There was one farcical moment when the ballboy quickly returned the ball and placed it in position for a goal-kick for us. Allsop picked it back up and slowly made his way to the opposite side.
