Football

My feeling though (without having seen the game - but having seen that they picked up one booking for time-wasting all game) is that Wigan were -
(1) clever by staying just within the rules, (eg picking the ball up briefly)
or
(2) they broke the rules and the ref did not punish them like he should. And if he had they would have had to stop because they would have risked having players sent off, which would have contradicted what they were trying to do - ie win.

I was at the game. Al Habsi was time-wasting, which is why there were 5 mins added time at the end of the first half, and he was eventually booked late in the 2nd half, after which he packed in all the nonsense, and started kicking / throwing it out a lot quicker.

But that takes nothing away from Wigan's performance - they took their opportunities in the first half, and defended excellently, and implemented Martinez's tactics very well. Probably the difference between the two sides was that Al Habsi made 4 excellent saves in the first half, whereas Sczs wasn't quick enough to the ball for both the Wigan goals.
