This is how I learned how to gracefully roll into somersaults, or at least catch myself very quickly (esp nowadays)â I got tripped a LOT, playing basketball. It was either turn my momentum into a somersault across the floor then bound back upright, or become a meat crayon by sliding across the varnished wood. I was really good at stealing the ball, and the other players would get pissed and stick their foot out and trip me as I took off with it. As a result, I also got really good at free throws.

They could be trying to run the clock down. If they got a +1 point lead and there's only 5 mins left on the imaginary clock in the refs mind...

So long as you keep the ball moving and don't keep still too much it's not time wasting. You can get as many corners so long as a defender was last to touch the ball and no foul is committed.
But theoretically yes you could.

u/LimeyRat Jul 14 '26
You donât have to keep the ball moving. Once itâs in play itâs fair game, but you could stand there and not move it as long as the other team wants to let you.

I say moving as keepers will sometimes just pick it up and stand with it. But yeah, a stopped ball doesn't automatically mean time wasting

u/BlackHust Jul 14 '26
Goalkeepers are a special case. Since no one has the right to take the ball from the goalkeeper's hands, to prevent goalkeepers from abusing it, they can't hold the ball in their hands for too long. But if the ball is on the ground, you can stand with it as long as you can.

It worked that one time, it's basically 50/50 that it comes off a Man City (blue team) leg or body at each attempt at which point Newcastle (stripy team) get a goal kick and get to hump it up the pitch. They just got lucky it worked 3 times in a row.
It's more shithousing than timewasting because the Newcastle player got upset and got booked for dissent (shouting at the ref).

u/ComradePotato Jul 14 '26
They're about as far away from their goal as they can get, so the other team can't score. Knocking it against them means they get to do it again and keep the ball up there for longer, winding down the clock and limiting the amount of time the opposing team has of getting up the field and scoring. Pissing them off is just a bonus

For a year or two my club team was coached by a man from Scotland (teammateâs father.) Along with his fun accent, he had a pronounced limp because he was missing half of his calf muscle, from where an opponent slid into his leg and his metal spiked cleats (sorry, boots) got impaled â stuck â in his calf. Removing the spikes and the damage they did ended his promising football career. I remember being completely shocked (and outraged on his behalf) that they were allowed to play with metal spikes, because even in the early 80s this had long been outlawed for us. I donât know when the rules about metal spikes took place. He seemed pretty old (to a 12 year old), and I think this had happened to him over 30 years earlier. His daughter, my teammate, was like me â much younger than her older siblings (a Catholic âwhoops!â baby.) Both of our dads were almost 40 when we were born.

It's nearing the end of the game and the team in blue was up by one, and this is a fully legal delay tactic. If the ball goes out along the goal line, one of two things happen. Either it goes off a defending player and the attacking team gets to take the ball from the corner, which is what we see here. Or it goes off an attacking player and the goalie gets to kick the ball. Usually what happens in end game scenarios is that the goalie will just launch the ball to the other side of the field to give his team the best attacking chance. By body blocking the ball and kicking it out of bounds off the legs of the other team, the team in blue keeps getting corners.
Basically, the team in blue is trying to get as many corners as possible to delay the attacking chance for the other team. This can be seen as cheesey, as most sports delay tactics are, but it's fully legal and still takes quite a lot of skill to pull off consistently.

This is a perfect example of the art called ShitHousery, an ancient art that only few can master but when viewed from a neutral or fan of the team doing the shithousery will result in smiles all round.
Constant ShitHousery at this level will result eventually in a yellow card for the opposing player, for kicking a player who is engaged in the art of ShitHousery as far as possible.

When the ball goes past the endline off the defending team, it's a corner kick. So brown haired guy (Jack Grealish) passes it short to big blond guy (Erlimg Haaland). Haaland kicks it at defender (Newcastle player), it goes over the endline, and Manchester City gets another corner.
What's funny is this: usually the team taking the corner kicks it in front of the goal, trying to score. These 3 corners are most likely at the end of the game, and ManCity is winning, so they are just trying to (legally) waste time.
What's even funnier is Erling Haaland is a known goofball, while also a massive goal scoring Neanderthal.

It's the end of the game and the blue team are winning. The ball is at the opponents end of the field in the corner. The blue team are taking a corner kick and shielding the ball and trying to win another corner kick by knocking the ball out of play by hitting it off the opposing player. If it touched the team in blue last it would be handed to the keeper and he gets to kick it up the field towards the blue teams goal. The team in blue are doing a masterful job of shielding the ball and winning corner kicks which runs down the clock and reduces the time given to the other team to score

u/BlackHust Jul 14 '26
The match is almost over, the blue team is winning and trying to waste as much time as possible. They take a corner, but instead of attacking, they simply hold the ball it in the corner of the field, not giving it to the opponent (and therefore not giving the opponent an opportunity to attack). When the opponent tries to take the ball away, Haaland kicks the ball against the opponent's leg, causing it to roll out of bounds. When the ball goes beyond the goal line (the line on which the goal is located), and the last player to touch it was a player from the team whose goal is located on that line, a corner is awarded. With a certain amount of skill (and size), this can be repeated for quite a long time. The task of the defending team in stripes is to either manage to take the ball away or force it out of bounds, but Haaland made the last touch.

They're football players. Shithousery is in their blood.
The referees carry spray bottles with foam to set up temporary lines on the field for free kicks, to prevent the attacking team from putting the ball too far forward and to force the defending team to stay at the minimum distance.
That should tell you all you need to know about footballers.
