TCCANARY 263 Posted October 15, 2013 I think we have to face the fact that they are all horrible, dirty cheaters who''s only thought is for themselves. If only there was a way to get rid of these people from our club so that we were left with nice, clean cut team players. Imagine a world that contained such players as err, hold on, I''m sure there''s someone out there, maybe that one who, well no not him, not after that incident. Maybe someone could start at list that we could add to. I did think we could start with Jesus Christ but after his tantrum in the Temple with the Money Lenders it seem that he might not fit the bill.I''ll start with Ghandi in goal.Anyone got any further suggestions?

Dubai Mark 0 Posted October 15, 2013 GP that made me smile....I''m fine, its the others.....anyway, was just watching the 1974 England vs Poland qualifier on YouTube, a great match, England played so well and what a player Martin Peters was, and Channon not too shabby either! Wanted to take a look at his "dive" for the penalty referred to earlier , and for me it was a typical and very common instance of a player making a meal out of a challenge in the box to win a penalty and good on Peters for admitting he took a dive, couldnt see how much contact was made though. For me, its very different to the Elmander case being discussed (well for the most part) on here as Elmander conned the referee by totally fabricating that his opponent had been violent to him, had assaulted him, when nothing at all happened......plus of course we cannot say a bad word against Martin Peters as he is close to or possibly the best player ever to pull on the Yellow & Green shirt, as for Elmander a similar admittance of guilt and an apology would be nice, but not going to happen. Would recommed to others to watch this game, surprisingly high standard and fast paced, that England team looked so committed to the cause too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted October 15, 2013 An interesting distinction for me. If we take the Rivaldo World Cup playacting, the ball clearly hit him on the legs and he fell to the ground clutching his face. Most people in England found that pathetic and infuriating (whereas apparently it was viewed as par for the course in Brazil). But if a player dives in the box to win a penalty by deliberately falling when challenged or deliberately catching his foot on the defender''s outstretched leg, then he''s also faking an offence to try to get the other side penalised. What''s the moral difference with Rivaldo ? Isn''t it just that it''s typically hard to spot a dive, whereas the Rivaldo type playacting is impossible to miss if you have watched the whole incident (so it only works if the Ref doesn''t see what happens initially and just sees him laying on the floor so assumes it must have been bad). I think the answer is in England we are less tolerant of this sort of cheating so it has to be disguised enough to give a real possibility that it might have been a foul, which is good because anything that reduces the amount of cheating in football has to be a good thing. But morally I see no difference between deliberately trying to con the ref into giving you a decision, whether you dive in the box when you weren''t fouled, or fall over and pretend you''ve been headbutted like Elmander or Tierney. What''s the difference ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubai Mark 0 Posted October 15, 2013 Well put ICF, put like that I have to agree, the subtle differences actually dont change the fact that its all cheating at the end of the day. What is required is consistent punishment for these types of offences, already this season we have seen a few yellow cards for "simulation" but many missed and given as penalties.

nutty nigel 7,528 Posted October 15, 2013 Again I will just bring the whole thing back to Tierney who was at best excused and at worst commended where as Elmander is at best criticised and at worst wanted to be driven out of the club. The only difference I can see is one is foreign. Now if I''ve got that wrong perhaps someone who made that difference, Wiz or anyone else, could explain where I''ve got it wrong.

[/quote] They are both simulations agreed. But violent conduct is a greater offence than a foul. That''s the difference for me. But nobody seems to want to explain to me the difference between the Elmander and Tierney incidents. I''ll go further and say from a Norwich point of view Tierney''s was worse because he was representing our club at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
