Quote ="Lord God Jose Mourinho"No, it's not my issue. I want to know whether you were accepting of Chelsea's blatant destroying of Liverpool's game plan as you are of Krul's.
I don't think you will have been. I'd imagine you were stamping your feet like Suarez was. But the problem for Liverpool was that technically Schwarzer wasn't time wasting at that point because the ball was in play. Schwarzer could have stood there for however long was left of the half if one of your players hadn't come and forced him to play it. In fact that's exactly what he would have done. And you'd have wet yourself with anger.

I didn't really give a sh*t about Chelsea that day to be honest, I was more frustrated by my own team than your lot. It wasn't only Schwarzer time wasting, it was the majority of your team over nearly everything. Taking an age for throw ins, etc.. You won the match, fair play, but it wasn't through any type of tactical quality or game play. You don't plan for a player slipping, and that was the only time you entered our half.
Quote But the penalty taker is risking having the pen retaken if he stutters his run too much. Is the penalty taker allowed to run over the ball too to have a word? Can he just stand there for a minute and just take it when he feels like it? Can he go for a run all around the box before shooting? What if he dummies to shoot 3 times before taking it?
The ref will book a penalty taker for any of that and tell him to stop messing about.
Just like the ref should have last night.'"
Let's be honest, he walked over and had a word. If the penalty taker walked over with the ball in his hand, went up to the 'keeper and said "it's going top right corner, you're not stopping it so don't even bother", I doubt very much anybody would be up in arms about it. Let's be honest, you're exaggerating what Krul done. He simply tried to talk them out of it, he didn't waste that much time, to be honest.
Quote If Chelsea had been going for a title and Liverpool time wasted to do our heads in then you would have been absolutely delighted.
When teams time waste and mess us around next season Mourinho will be livid about it. And he'll probably have a little smile and then shrug his shoulders when a journo questions him about it and calls him a hypocrit.
CFC pushed the game to its limits in your title winning party. You bottled it. No doubt that was one of the games you've hated most in your life. I think you'll have been angry that day. Krul was doing a similar thing last night. You weren't involved so you will applaud Krul, but if he was doing that against Liverpool there's no way you'd look at it the same.'"
I don't really know what this has to do with Liverpool, but I've seen something similar done by a Liverpool 'keeper before. Dudek in 2005 was dancing around like a nutter trying to put them off, again, I didn't see anything wrong with it.
I said before, I'm a huge fan of the NBA and trash talking is huge in that game and I absolutely love it. It isn't really something I bring team bias into. I don't view it as time wasting, as a form of cheating or even something somebody should be booked for. He simply had a word with each player before the penalty, it was drama, not time wasting, cheating or taking the p*ss.
