Makes you wonder about the integrity of spot?

It seems that you only have seen the clean English football so far, because I stopped believing in the integrity of football at the age of 13.




The headlines in Spain about the match yesterday is : Hands up!!!!! Which I think is what you say when there's a robbery.

Disgusting.

How can you change the rules at the end to ensure we get a big team?

You really think if that had happened at the other end we'd have got it? you think FIFA didn't care which team won?

Diving is cheating, handballing is cheating, but so is deliberately fouling someone, pulling someones shirt, blocking a player of in the box and the most dishonest thing claiming throw ins when you know its not yours.

All the above is a form of cheating, but people do not complain. I played football till I was chucked out at youth level and played county rugby before that. I can honestly say I have never deliberately cheated in any match I have played. Yet I dont understand why other forms of cheating

deliberate fouls
pulling shirts
claiming throw ins
faking injuries

are accepted.

It's not as if Ireland were outmatched or outplayed by a so called "Big Team", I'm sure France weren't to happy when they got Ireland in the draw.

I doubt if Ireland would have fared any better if the draw had been different,they could just as easily got to play Portugal or Russia.

To me Ireland looked a pretty hardworking but fairly toothless side. Certainly all Irish supporters should be aggrieved by the handball that gave France their goal but lets face it, Ireland failed to take the best chances of the match. Two fluffed one on ones with the keeper is the real reason Ireland aren't in the finals.

Don't worry Bunglemark, when Spain faces the physical strength and tempo of the English, your eyes will be dry and others will we wet.

Not sure if those eyes will be spanish or english, but the irish eyes will be having a laugh!

Thanks for the wonderful insight into football, you moron.

A deliberate handball - TWICE - in the box, missed by both the ref and the linesman, with the rest of the world watching, has chucked us out of a competition worth an absolute fortune to a football association in dire need of it. We were immense last night - if you told an outsider that the surrender monkeys in blue were the ones with world class players, he'd have laughed you out of it.
And as Dundalk says, this comes AFTER that other cheatin' surrender monkey Platini changes the rules to allow those poxbottles be seeded ahead of us...

Your post is muck. Fouls and shirtpulling are all part of the game. What is not part of the game is being cheated out of a fair chance at penalties (most likely), even after a chance against a lesser team than france (possible).

I will let the insult and the rubbish you are sprouting go, because it's an awful time and you are rightly upset.

But how is shirt pulling and deliberate fouling part of football, but diving and handballing not.

You are a complete hypocrite. Just off the top of my head Owen dived twice against Argentina. One got the second goal in 98 and the third knocked them out of the world cup in 2002. Or in the case of Henry you seem to forget the two obvious handballs from Henchoz at the 2001 FA cup. Or perhaps Carragher blatantly pulling Owen down just a few weeks ago to stop him getting a one on one. Or maybe we should look at Gerrards dive in the 2005 CL final. Or when Scotland handballled  in euro 96 against the Dutch.

All these are incidences of cheating.

One of the best moments as a fan of my club came when we needed to win a match to stay in the Championship and were drawing with a minute left. One of our players punched the ball to stop a chance hoofed it up the pitch for us to score a last minute goal. We cheated and it saved our club a bit like when you guys cheated against United a couple of weeks ago and against Arsenal in the Fa cup of Milan in the CL.

Either condemn all forms of cheating or accept that any form of cheating is part of the game. Why should you pick and chose which CHEATING is acceptable to you and which is not.

Shut yer hoop, and go off into a corner and play with yourself, you tart 

WTF are you doing on a LFC forum if you spit out anti-LFC vitriol ? No friends ?

Sheesh.....


stmick: you're damn right about the Anelka dive as well....Notice even FIFA have been deafening in their condemnation of both him and Henry this morning ?

I was even on the Le Monde website this morning : an astonishing 86% of respondents felt the Irish were robbed and deserved to go through...
