Calling Time On Cheats

Calling Time On Cheats

In reponse to the initiative taken by jester, I thought it was worth a shot to apply a bit of pressure to root this plaque out of our game.

Ronaldo, Zokora, Pires, Drogba.......the list is endless. How many times have we all seen the slow-mo and seen the premeditated actions of these players. These guys aren't the sort that have looked for a small touch to justify going down, these guys have all planned to go down whatever. There can be no doubt that this kind of play degrades these incredibly skillful players to a level of person most of us depise, stained in our memories.

The reason for my disgust isn't just for the players though. My disgust has an equal portion attributed to the footballing authorities themselves. No not necessarily refs and linesman, they don't at this time have the slow-mo replays we can sit, watch and judge. My gripe is with the governing bodies who, quite simply, are complicit of fail to act. This is something that is getting worse and now for me, enough is enough. Players and clubs need to be held accountable after the match, technology needs to be introduced to allow refs to act during the game, players need to be given the message.............this is not acceptable any more.


Whether you are a dyed in the wool Red, Blue, Lilywhite, or whatever, the amount of cheats in our game is on the rise. Cheating transcends our club or nations, because, they are cropping up in all teams. If its your team that is the victim, if you are a neutral, or even if its your team that benefits, what kind of feeling does it leave in your stomach when you know the ref's been conned? Any true fan will be either gutted and angry, or ashamed. Is it worth a few minutes by visiting the site below to see what you can do..........
