Diving and time wasting piss me off to no end, even when our own do it. The rest I have no problem with any team doing it. Diving is the worst, get up and play the game. Time wasting is just really annoying. The rest is up to the ref to manage, not that they do it particularly well. Time wasting and the controversies around injury time could be largely removed with the introduction of a stop-clock system rather than the current anachronistic system we use. I swear there was a study a few years back that found the average inplay time per half was less than 30 mins. Fifa should run some studies and then introduce it. There will still be time wasting and feigning of injuries, especially when a team is exerting pressure, but overall the stop clock would be a positive, progressive introduction IMO. Always liked that idea. Of course it would introduce controversies about when the clock would stop, but it would be less than the seemingly random current system.

It is hard to make a case for NOT having a visible clock in pro football which is stopped when play is stopped. Rugby is obviously a very different game to football and some things would not transfer from rubgy to football. But the visible clock has pretty well cut out time wasting in top level rugby - there is absolutely no point in a team trying to do it and I am sure that much the same thing would happen if it was introduced into football at the top level.

To shithouse, or not to shithouse, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The fowls and and shamming of outrageous Bournemouths, Or to take the same against a sea of gamesmanship And by opposing end them. To fowl—to fake, No more; and by a tackle to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That footy is heir to: 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd.

That great Barcelona team was a master of all aspects of football, shithousery included Sergio Busquets. The ultimate Spanish Shithouse! Ramos wants a word...

Not sure about "shithousery" per se, but I know we were 2nd in the Championship Fair Play table this season and that suggests to me we are "too nice" on the pitch. I'd like to see a couple of players brought in capable of mixing it up a bit and would happily see us higher up that table as well as the one that counts...... Weren't Preston 3rd though I find that really had to believe The Bournemouth thing was down to weak refereeing.I think the ball was in play 2 minutes out of the last 10 .Players just kept going down all over the pitch. The ref not long later in their home game v Man City was a bit cuter and added time on in added time leading to them conceding of course. if was like watching European football from the 70s all over again where teams used whatever tactic they could to kill a game. There is only one answer to this and that is an off the pitch timekeeper who stops the clock when the ball is not in play. Feigning injury, wasting time at throw ins and set pieces, substitutes strolling on and off the pitch, keeper taking forever with goal kicks etc etc. All these tactics would be futile.

Shithouse IF NEEDED all day long, i.e Liverpool and Man U particuarly away. Arsenal all the time. However Golden Rules Don't do a Eddie Howe, be a ultra shit house, and pretend your Barcelona. If guilty of shithousery. Don't complain when teams do it to you. Never dive. That great Barcelona team was a master of all aspects of football, shithousery included Yes, bad example.

Nick Powell has a very long way go before he can even be mentioned in the same breath as Walters. Walters wound up world class players and backed it up. Powell dives around like he’s been shot.

Pennant was always adept at drawing fouls so that we could send Huth & Shawcross up for the resulting free kick

Isn't the line that they play for you? I wanted to kill Powell when he played for Wigan

I'd hate it if we became Bournemouth, I never warmed to Arnie because of his diving and histrionics You never saw Pulis teams crowding the ref or waving imaginary cards, they just got on with it. The effective stopping power of Huth and Shawcross were part of the beautiful game.

Why is diving so much worse than these other things that people think are good shithousing?
