[Albion] Time Wasting

[Uh_huh_him]

But at least our time-wasting was predominantly in keeping with playing football.

We weren't claiming head injuries when we lost possession.

Yes. It was done in the right way and our South Americans (JP, Enciso & Barco) were brilliant at it when they teamed up into a shithousing 3.

Indeed. Especially Barcos & Pedros theatrics, people would be going crazy if an opposing player did the same

On the Villa forum they said as much. Oh dear, Villa wrote the instruction manual on taking the piss and now it’s bitten them on the arse.

Shithousing 3? Brilliant! When I buy the next replica shirt I’ll have that printed on the back.

This.
We kept the ball in play and didn't waste time that the ref could add on. I was waiting for Bart to fall down on the ball, but he never did.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

I was a little disappointed with Bart, to be honest. I was hoping for full Martinez display, he didn't even fall over once clutching his head or claiming crippling cramp (from all that running around). Poor show, Bart.

Ironic that people like it when we do it but hate it when Villa or other teams do it. Its just part of football these days.

i think the difference is when we do it it tends to be at the end of the game. Some teams like to do it from the first minute almost! I see mothing wrong it taking the ball to the corner flag at 90 mins, not so much at 65 mins, and as others have said we dont (usually) spend five mins pretending someone has chopped them round the throat and are nearly dead

I think the worst case of time wasting, piss taking shithousery was when Wolves came to the Amex in December 2021. They won 1-0. Right from the off they conned the inept ref repeatedly. I have never seen so many head injuries in one match. Most of the Wolves players spent the match lying on the pitch as if they’d been shot. The officials were such complete useless spineless mugs that they fell for it every time. I’m still fuming about it now.

No problem with running down the clock. It’s as old as football.

What I object to is feigning injury, or cheating as it’s properly called. That’s time wasting.

 

[banjo]

Game management, it’s about time we started doing it.

 

[WATFORD zero]

The timing of the Barco sub just as Villa tried to take a quick free kick was an absolute masterclass in shitehousing

Fans are biased towards their team.
What a shock

Yep, and I have never classed that as time wasting, the ball is in play so it's fair play. The other stuff isn't really time-wasting either, it's called cheating

Maybe I missed a lot but I didn't see too much 'shithousery' in so much that yes we tried to run down the clock but did it playing football and keeping possession and surprisingly going long from the keeper. No real amateur dramatics and certainly no players falling over nowhere near the ball. We were no where near the levels of shithousery achieved by some of the teams I have seen.

totally agree

Quite.

Corner-flag time-wasting, is encouraging the opponents to compete for the ball, in a safe area of the pitch.
It's no different to a low-block.

When we scored it was late in the game and every team will do it to keep that lead especially when in poor form. Its when teams time waste from start of 2nd half or much earlier than last 10 mins of a game.

Exactly what Emery wouldve done !

 

[Flounce]

For this game I wish we’d scored in the first minute and shitehoused for the next 89 plus added time

Agree albeit anyone (and I appreciate you’re only using in response to other post) but anyone that uses this new term “shithousery’ comes across as an uneducated twit. IMO, naturally.
