Ref will be kissing the Rotherham badge on is shirt tonight the tosser!

Where did 5 come from anyway?

Dunno, bet the tef gave them everything

[DonnyOsmond]

Minimum of 5 mins. We did time waste, which is why he probably added more on.

[1879Rovers]

Rowe was down in injury time so you can see where the extra time came from.

[i_ateallthepies]

Shouldn't have been even 5 😡 Bent bas**rd ref!

[WheatleyRover]

Sickening that was

[Dutch Uncle]

Shades of Arsenal game at OBV......

Reminded me more of Sheffield united away.

[RoversAlias]

Referee was giving them everything until we scored, then it evened out. 5 added on, Rowe was receiving treatment when the board went up and they inform the 4th official of how much to add on a couple of minutes prior so it doesn't surprise me really.

[RedJ]

It's a minimum of, remember. But he had absolutely no interest in blowing, he wasn't even looking at his watch.

[bobjimwilly]

can't remember what the exact stat was that sky put up during the second half, but Rovers conceding in the last 15 mins this season is A LOT

It’s obviously a problem but can’t see it changing under Fergie.

[idler]

Upto today's game we conced the most goals between 76-90.
6 before today now 7.
Then games run over so obviously the Rochdale goals will be in that total.
Surely with stats like that the opposition will try to pressure us knowing that our nerves will be jangling and we might concede.

[roversdude]

It wasn’t even latest goal in a game today
Cheltenham 90+7

[pib]

What don't people understand about a MINIMUM of 5 mins.

Defend the box like that in the last minute and you get what you deserve.

[drfchound]

We did defend the box well in the last minute, two great blocks before the ball luckily fell to Moore.

Wouldn't say that.  See how much space David Ball had when Lawlor made the save?  If we'd defended that situation properly Lawlor wouldn't have needed to be so far out of his goal to make the block.

If Marquis had did what he’s paid for the only thing this post  would be talking about would be another bad goal late in a game . We were toothless again today , ifs buts and maybes are what makes it worthwhile. 7 mins when 90 didn’t sort it is neither here nor  there . We need to be more ruthless in front of goal.

[drfchound]

We barely created a chance to score today.

[RedJ]

Think some people expect Marquis to carve out millions of chances all by himself even when he's getting absolutely no (decent) service.

[mushRTID]

Iv been very critical of Marquis this season but today he had long ball after long ball banged up to him against what must be the tallest defence in the league.

It’s really poor tactics. He did alright given the service.

Should have put his foot through the ball in the 96th minute instead of giving them possesion back in our half, if he had done that we'd have got 3 points in the bag instead of 1

I agree.

Rowe handed it on a plate and f*** up again . He is nothing like a striker who was given an extended deal for his efforts , he looks like another waister who just taking wage and keeping better players from coming to the Keepmoat because he’s got all the available budget .

He’s playing at a higher standard, that’s why he doesn’t look as good, not lack of effort.

The lads worked his knackers off today with little support and poor delivery into the middle. He needs someone along side him.

[Donnywolf]

... and what do people think of the tactic of trying to keep the ball by the Corner Flag even when we had 2 if not 3 free kicks there right at the death

Yes I can see it offers a chance to run down the clock but surely the defending Team are themselves desperate NOT to go 2 goals down - and would be (or at least should be) nervous as hell. Why not stick the ball in the danger area - and hope for a goal / a rash challenge / a miskick back to us / or a clearance which we should be able to pick up and start another attack

True I concede its a difficult one to judge but (with hindsight) but the corner flag routine did not work this time round but may on other occasions. The cliche says the best from of defence is attack so what to others think given the choice of the 2 "tactics"

Wrong all accounts he was ineffective and failed to over come his markers throughout the game and when given a good opportunity he bottled it ....again.

[ravenrover]

just out of interest when I got home I timed how long Rowe was treated on the pitch, it was nearly 1.1/2 mins till him coming off change his shirt you could clearly hear the added time announcement after the ref had gone over to him so we can't blame the ref for adding that on to his added time. But for me the biggest question is why didn't JM put it in row z?
