I packed too much into today, especially for a Monday. There was already a major YMAA crisis which has taken my morning. Plus I had to take Yukz for walkies (and poopies because he won't get out until Stacy gets off work at 5).
Definitely a classic tactic. H was watching with me and incensed by Slimy’s repeated, deliberate delays. Her view was that she had been told that if you need a moment to collect yourself, to get your head together, then this sort of delay was OK. Seeing it used as a deliberate method of fucking with the other guy really cheesed her off.
The truth is that when you buy yourself a moment or two, you are simultaneously trying to halt their momentum. In Slimy’s case, he wasn’t collecting anything, since he knew he was outgunned and his only hope was to distract G. The ref’s refusal to let Slimy continue with his disruptive ways exposed it for what it was.
