What types of cheating are acceptable?

[mawders]

haha, that's quality

I voted timewasting minus feigning injury and cheese toastie.

Intentional bookings/fouls are tough. In some sports, it's part of the game, like in basketball. Most others it's considered poor form and an abuse of the rules. I personally would avoid it but I don't necessarily look down on players who do it.

I think it's part of football as well.

Risk and reward. Risk getting booked, reward you stop an attack or get into someone's head.

Of course you could say the same about any form of cheating, but intentional fouling is just a bit more honest than diving, for example.

Would never like to witness this sort of reprehensible low life behaviour at Goodison

 

[mkrudden]

I think the scariest thing about those results is that only two people voted for "feigning injury, diving to get free kicks and opposing player punished".

To be honest its the main reason I hate Suarez!

 

[Coach]

Need to define the difference if there is one between cheating and gamesmanship.

There isn't one. If you are not being honest then you are cheating.

i have zero problems with professional fouls breaking up play. its the game. also dont mind the 'lets walk off the pitch' part of it, tho if they changed it so you had to be off in X seconds i wouldnt mind either.

to be fair i almost voted for that until i read the next one. some people are impatient!

Loan players should be outlawed.

 

[TX Bill]

None.

This.

 

[paulbefc]

Bloody hell, Dymak. Every option bar cheese on toast? Seriously?

Do show us your reasoning.

 

[bicycleheader]

None....

 

[degsy]

to even think what sort of cheating is ok is totally gash kopite behavior you don't know it yet but you've already sold your soul...and you didn't even ask the price

 

[Huyton Layne]

I'm ok with the intentional yellow. People take them all the time to kill a break. The player risks getting a second yellow that game and also totting up 5 for a ban so at least it's more of a calculated risk than cheating.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

You've missed out probably the biggest two, which are match fixing and doping.

 

[Moomin]

Disgraceful poll, why would you include pineapple on the cheese on toast option.

I'm with Russell Brand on this and abstaining from voting.
