Grimsby spoiling tactics

[Nudga]

I wouldn't say well worth the victory Oggy, because they were utter shite as well, just a bit less shite than us.
I just felt Grimsby took the cheating to extremes in the 2nd half, it's ruining football.

The lad who went down for them holding his head was a prime example of blatant cheating, bring in a red card for doing it, it would soon stop. The delaying tactics  & time wasting has gone on from year dot, would definitely not stop me becoming a supporter of my club though, or anything else going on, no chance.

The head injury protocols were brought in for good reasons. Feigning one runs the risk of genuine incidents eventually getting ignored.

But if the ref was doing his job he would have seen the challenge was nowhere near his head, blatant cheating.

As you said at the beginning OP, doesnt change the fact that none of our players could pass the ball more than 10 yards. Truly awful performance and it doesnt sit at Grimsbys door who were well worth the victory.

Bang on, that performance was scary given Grant's teams of the past, absolutely nowhere near good enough. Still waiting for us to click.

We have had situations recently where a player is fouled and injured and needs the trainer.
The game is stopped then the injured player has to go off for 30 seconds while the player who caused the injury stays on and his side has a one player advantage for those 30 seconds.
It happened to us on. Saturday.
Surely that can’t be fair.

Exactly. The offending player should stay off the pitch until the injured player is allowed to return (or a sub).
