Powell great at it, love him for it. Walters great at it, love him for it. Bournemouth amazing at it, what a bunch of tw#ts.
Simple question, where do you draw the line?

Love the title of your thread. If Shakespeare were alive he'd probably say, "I wish I'd thought of that."

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.

We draw the line at our club doing it and other clubs doing it. Pretty much like every other club in the land!

All shithousing is totally fine by me until it turns to diving. Kicking, punching, winding up, kicking the ball away, intimidating, SJW tipping water away, time wasting, love it. Just don't throw yourself to the floor like a fanny.

I think the gripe stems from the wider disproportionately positive perception Bournemouth enjoy. They’re a shithouse team yet they somehow became the media darlings and, when you read the comments in the HYS type forums, it seems most of the public have been taken in hook line and sinker. The top rated comments in those sections are full of people eulogising and saying how wonderful it has been to have Bournemouth in the premiership, and wishing them a speedy return. Compare that to the stick and lazy journalism we received and it leaves a sour taste.
It does come across a bit small time that we’re hating on some poxy club historically more in vale’s league than our own, but with the wider context it makes sense. I feel fairly certain that if this had happened to some small club from some grim northern town then the media love in would not be there. There’s probably some class/regional snobbery at play regarding the media love in.

I'd prefer the team I support to be an honest team, which I think Stoke have been on the whole since I became a fan. The perception of Stoke kicking opponents in the Premier League under Pulis was just a perception, and one that Pulis loved. We weren't any worse than anyone else - just a strong and physical team. I'd be embarrassed to be a Bournemouth fan, at least in the matches I've seen them (I haven't seen them since the 1-2 loss at home in the Premier League).
Walters seemed an honest but mischievous player to me. I hate to bring it up, but the reaction of Stoke players vs Arsenal players in the aftermath of that Ramsey injury showed the class of the Stoke players and the scummery of the Arsenal players.

There’s probably some class/regional snobbery at play regarding the media love in. Allardyce era Bolton probably prove the point: despite signing Okocha,Hierro,Campo,Djorkaeff,Anelka plus a few more,and having a coaching/management style that was heavily reliant on stats/analytics years before most coaches had heard of prozone, never managed to truly eschew the perception that he was a big,daft,gruff anachronism with a penchant for kicking people up in the air during his playing days who liked his 'plucky' teams to batter technically superior opponents with myriad long balls and oodles of vein bursting passion. Owen Coyle however,in the medias eyes,inhered from the same misty footballing Utopia as the much more photogenic,housewife friendly (isn't he cute?!) carpet football exponent Eddie Howe,despite having a Bolton team containing the likes of not so big,daft,gruff,anachronistic shithouses like Paul Robinson,kicking people up in the air and launching long balls at Kevin Davis all game. Go figure.

I'm not a fan of the new modern meaning of shithouse. I always thought it as 1. Having a big physique and 2. A player shitting out of a tackle or header etc.

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.

I remember Erik Pieters doing it at Fulham think it was to try and get a player sent off. Didn't go down well with our fans and rightly so.

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 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.
