[Albion] Shithousery

[Kalimantan Gull]

Yes, always. He was famous for it at Ajax

I think I've watched two Ajax games in my life

I mean he has always been a master at the 'going down under the slightest touch' thing but with the exception of having fun with Zaha, I can't say I noticed him doing stuff like the Rice incident, Maddison incident, and so on. Must look harder....

I still find his "go to" move of flopping forward at the slightest touch enjoyable, but it's the nuance and sheer range of his repertoire that is so impressive. The passive/aggressive style is truly his own. He makes pantomime shousers like Martinez look like amateurs.

Nope, not for me. Veltman is a class act away from the actual play, whereas Martinez is a weapons-grade bellend.

In shithousery terms Martinez is as subtle as an elephant’s turd.

We spend serious amounts of time behind the goal in the north Veltman watching. It's been hilarious & beautiful for years. He shithouses for 90 minutes

He certainly made a pudding out of Rice.

Actually refreshing that it's not about shithousery too!

 

[Whitley Bayster]

Has Veltman always been like this? Because since the Rice red card all I ever see from Veltman is shithousery. And yet it's but something I never really associated with him before!!

Yes ask the SEGW he loves a match up with Joel. He always makes him cry

Yep, it's beautiful...

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Great tusseling!

 

[aolstudios]

Great tusseling!

Love that word!
Although to be pedantic, 'tussling' suggests at least a vague equivalence between tusslers. Joel v Wilf was more 'owning' or perhaps, 'twatting'?..

Do they breed shitehousers in the Netherlands?

I hate this sort of cheating. All of it. Veltman included. You have to either be all in favour of it, including when the opponents do it, or be against it, including when your own side does it.

I can’t stand people getting all principled and opinionated about something when they’re the victim of it while happy to do it themselves. Shithousery, feigning injury, time wasting, diving for penalties, f*** the lot of them. In that clip, the goalkeeper makes a misjudgement, the opponent reacts quickly and his side deserves a goal. They’re deprived of the chance.

Outside football, tax evasion comes to mind. Oh how we moralise about it (rightly). But if a tradesman offers a discount for cash? Yes please.

That’s all I’m saying. Have a good day.

Whatever you think you must be able to at least smile at the quick wittedness of the keeper and the wrath of the forward.

The rules are pretty clear. This was an example of a tactical yellow card. The goalkeeper had a choice to make - probably concede a goal, or receive a yellow card. It's a bit of a no-brainer if you think of it like that, and you'd like to think our keepers would do the same in that scenario.

Exploiting the rules to help the team is always going to happen while it's possible. It's a bit like taking it to the corner flag in the final minutes - it could be seen as unsporting and a form of legal time wasting - but until the rules change it will always be a thing.

Football's a pantomime, shithousery always exists. It's hilarious when Veltman or Maups does it, but we're outraged when Grealish or Zaha do it. It's all the fun of the fayre, just enjoy it for what it is, something exciting in an otherwise bland and pretty predictable sport.

As to the clip, I'd have sent the goalie off just for added fun and shithousery. That would've made headlines!
