Best (worst) cheat

Not open for further replies.

David Weir.....for us. Can't remember who we were playing, but the ball popped up and seemed to just hang there in the air in front of Weir.....so he just casually swatted it to the floor with his hand and carried on playing.

Not the worst, just reckon it will be overlooked for the more famous instances.
 
Maradonna was the king of cheating because he almost always got away with it

Suarez got sent off for the red card at the World Cup and was punished for each instance of biting

Maradonna got away with handling the ball both in 86 and in 1990, while also drugging the Brazilian players in the 1990 2nd Round Match

Karma finally caught up with the dirtbag in 1994

He's the most successful cheater in the history of football and shows literally zero remorse for any of it

How he gets anywhere near "best player ever" is beyond me. Yes, he was very good at football, but if he hadn't cheated how far would he have gotten? He scored a very good goal against England in 86, but in the 82 and 90 World Cups he massively underperformed and he was so bad by 1994 that he had to take performance enhancing drugs just to be competitive. He had 1 good World Cup out of 4, and in that one World Cup he had to cheat to get past the Quarter Finals

And yet he's supposed to be up there with Pele, Cryuff, Ronaldo, Messi, Puskas, Matthews etc?

Be arsed with that

He was a devious, cheating little short arse with small man syndrome, who had great fun smashing tomato cans but had to cheat to get past the only real side of any consequence he came up against in 1986

He and his despicable team then kicked, dived and connived their way to a Final in 1990, where the German's finally brought the charade of them being the world's best side to a crushing end by giving them a taste of their own medicine

What a load of little Englander nonsense.

What about his dive to start the comeback in Istanbul. He has got be up there for being a massive cheat and getting away with it by whinging at the refs and having the backing of Sky and the papers.

He was a bad diver and a massive hypocrite about it.
 
In any sport Lance Armstrong (not so much for the doping, but the way he went about dealing with those who stood up to him), in football playing currently Suarez (that handball against Ghana especially), in football generally Maradona (not so much for 1986, but for his life generally which is basically one long advert promoting every negative stereotype about Argentinians that has existed or will exist).
