I noted the comments from ( naturally ) upset Burnley fans on their fans website forum last week.
Guess what, apparently the ref was "shite" and the worst they've seen at Burnley all season, plus our shithousery was of an Olympic standard.
Ditto this week at Stoke, whilst the ref may not have that awful, the shithousery was noticed.
Well done Gareth.
Whilst, as mentioned here, no one likes to see it at your own home ground or seeing your own side do it, but if Rangers were clearly one thing away from home it was weakness of game management.
At least that's been fixed.
Note to DoF
The next time we're in need of a manager and they talk about who they'll be bringing along in their coaching team, ignore the waffle about dead ball management, sports science, dietician. The key requirement / priority is for a professional shithouser trainer. |  | | |  |

to be fair to them a lot of posts i've seen haven't taken issue with us doing it, both sets of fans are very used to doing what you have to do to stay up, but with the refs for allowing it. |  |

Sad, but probably true. Pro football is a cynical business which greatly purges the pleasure in the product for the dwindling number of us who still have a footballing soul. |  |

I imagine the season ticket details will be announced this week. I'm 95% certain to renew but the $hithousery would inhabit the 5% of me that is reluctant.
Maybe just maybe OK in a desperate straits type of game but I don't want to see it regularly.
Goes without saying that it would be greatly reduced with stronger reffing. The hard part would be the “head injuries”. |  | | |

Pep and SAF would do it if it gave them a competitive advantage.
I don't want to see it every week or as the primary strategy but teams that win use all strategies. Even the so called footballing sides get in the ear of the ref, nudge players off the ball, kick the ball away for throw ins and freekicks. Remember at least four Bournemouth players going down at the same time when they were beating us. Gary Cahill even got embarrassed and hauled one of his own teammates up. Guess what? They got promoted.
I don't want to be PNE but I don't want to be Naive Fools FC either. |  | | |

We've been far too nice for far too long. We're still too quiet. We had a peno shout yesterday and we only raised a meek whimper.
The other side of it, though, is the feigning injury, which has been embarssing the last two games. There's a line, it's grey and it's wooly and it moves around, I get all of that, but when four of your team are on the deck at the same time holding their heads and none of them need treatment, you've crossed it. |  |

If you are going to let the players run the games it will always happen.
Why doesn’t the Lino have a spray can to denote where the ball goes out for a throw,
Why allow players who are literally dying then get straight up and sprint like Linford Christie if they don’t get the foul,Why allow managers Ala Jurgen Klopp scream in the faces of officials like today against Tottenham,
Why allow players to stand in front of the ref and scream Fck Off.
They don’t allow it in Rugby where tbf they are stamping all over each other yet the Ref is in total charge and they adhere to it.
Let’s face it the majority of modern day footballers are spoilt over hyped over paid parts.
I actually don’t mind a bit of shithousery but the points I’ve made above really piss me off.
I would have two footed Arteta on the sidelines by now, accidentally of course.
Unfortunately if you don’t apply the darker arts others will. | | | |

I actually don't blame the refs. For whatever reason* even if they're not explicitly encouraged to let shi*housery happen, they risk being penalised accordingly if they don't bring play to a halt. As noted elsewhere it doesn't occur to anything like the same extent in other European leagues.
* Ultimately I suspect they're financial. | | | |

My fav head injury story is one attributed to Brian Clough...assistants tell him that one of the players is in a daze and doesn't know what his name is. Clough instructs them to tell him he's Pele and get him back on the pitch. | |

Trouble with the spray idea is linos only run half the pitch.
I don't mind players nicking a yard or so at a throw it's the feigning injuries I can't abide. | | | |

To be fair we’ve saved up five years of meekly playing the game in quiet Corinthian spirit and then crammed that five years into a spectacular array of two minute throw ins, one minute goal kicks and dying swans littering the pitch.
And we got six points we badly needed.
Let’s hope there’s more of a balance next season but if every other team is doing it you can’t be the naive mugs. |  | | |

The stats for “Ball in play” in the championship are diabolical in comparison to other leagues .
A lot of this is due to cheating/ s**thousing and basically being a pretty terrible product. .
Under Ainsworth we’ve joined the party and have become as bad as everyone else however to a certain degree it has kept us in the the league which we all desperately wanted. | | | |

There was a home match v PNE a few years back - one of their defenders had collapsed looking as though his days on this mortal coil had ended. Then….near the end, Barbet blasted a free kick straight into the defender's kite, and he just shook his head a bit and played on to clear the ball. | | | |

Brilliant post here Westy and the good new is Klopp actually pulled his hamstring acting the p*ick so good enough for him.He claims the ref hates Liverpool and he decided to get in the face of the innocent 4th official.
Of course Jota scored the winner when he should have been sent off for kicking a Spurs player in the face but got only a yellow .
Jack Grealish should have been given a second yellow for abusing/ taunting the ref but of course he got off .
Bruno Fernandez is the biggest w8nker in the PL IMO constantly berating and questioning the ref as well as saying fcuk off every game to every ref .
Not sure if swearin in other language gets them off but it sure looks like it.
As Brian pointed out at least 4 QPR players hit the deck at the same time yesterday and slowly got up when they realized the danger was over. |  | | |

''ere's a quiz question…..in what year did linos stop running the full length of the pitch and just run the half alongside the left back ?
I haven't a clue. | | | |

That's the stuff for your 'darby-kell'
Makes you fat and it keeps you well
Don't live like vegetarians
On food they give to parrots
Blow out your kite from morn' till night

Jeez I’ve no idea. Did they ever do that ?
Imagine trying to keep up with play. They’d have to have substitutions for the linos. It would be absolute carnage.
Unless they sit on tracks like you sometimes see the cameras on in European games.
Wonder if drones will ever get used in the game, like on wires similar to the cameras above play.
Should start a thread on rules and changes we would all like to see. | | | |

The feigning head injury is simple - you go down clutching your loaf, game stopped and physio on; then off you go for a minimum 60 seconds with a minimum two minutes added per physio head assessment added onto injury time.
I think that would soon cure this pisstake with injury times becoming regular double digit add in’s and teams being forced to play with 10 men at end of games. |  |
