I actually thought that Sneddon's release of the ball yesterday was slightly faster than usual (indeed his release of the ball for their first goal was very fast!). But he appears to be obsessed by dropping the ball at his feet, waving his team-mates to get up the park, wait until an opposition player approaches and then he feigns to kick it, then waits some more..... And all this charade is for what: an average punt which just as often goes out of play or straight to the opposition as anything else. And it's so slow..... Urgency for Sneddon seems to involve simply waiting longer with more frantic gestures for the team to move up, taking even more time!
I'd actually cut him some slack for yesterday's howler, as it looked like the ball simply bounced/slipped away from him, though of course safely catching those kinds of balls is part of what he gets paid to do. But I'll also mention another general beef of mine: Is a wall of five or so players just a few yards in front of the keeper, blocking his view of most of what's in front of him and forcing him to basically neglect one side of his goalmouth really the best way to defend a free kick just outside the box? All teams do it, but I wonder if any teams have tried other methods in training, such as a wall with fewer players and defender on each post.
