To cheat or not to cheat?

I think you are. By about a billion light years.

No, I don't think I am. I'm afraid that headbutting someone for no reason is the act of a snide. If you think that being snide requires someone to be covert then I am afraid you are mistaken.
 
I thought Mirallas' tackle on Suarez was perfectly justified. So did the rest of the good folk of the world.

Ferguson was misunderstood, a victim of the system. It was all the SFA's fault anyway.

It was justified. After the year before Kev was just taking premptive self defensive action


Last year he put kev out for six weeks
 
Christ, if Eberton didnt "cheat", we would never ever give a freekick away ffs. Its all about degrees, and snide based stuff is generally not liked in L4. Has happened, of course. Difference is, we dont like it. Some clubs not far from here will tolerate it.

Thats the difference imo.

Agree mate.
It's not eberton, it's ebepton ffs:)
 
Personally cannot stand to see our players dive. I wince every time. But if it means a free kick on the edge of the area that Baines will bend into the top corner, then I am likely to forget it was a dive what got us there.
 
Yes is my answer.

Why? Because it doesn't really harm your image. Look at the top sides. None of them are tainted by it, yet they all do it habitually.

The best player in the world, ronaldo, is a bad, bad cheat.

We're putting ourselves at a massive disadvantage by trying to be a moral guardian of the game and I've never really seen it mentioned in the press or see anyone in authority mention how others should follow suit.

BTW, about them, Suarez as good as he is, wouldn't be half the player if he didn't cheat, dive, screech like a girl and roll all over the show feigning injury.

CB's can never go into a tackle wholeheartedly or commit to a 50/50 or even go to ground with him, all because they know he'll con the ref. If he was an honest player he wouldn't do anywhere near as much damage.

You don't act in the right way because you receive recognition for it, you act in the right way because it's the right thing to do.

I agree, and there is an argument that it was a rush of blood and a badly-timed rash tackle. So not technically cheating. But he did in a primal way attempt to injure a player, so I suppose that could be a tick in that poll.

Grey area that one...like those grey aliens.
