Cheats! Football Cheating Takes Many Forms...

I find myself incandescent with rage at the way certain footballers conduct themselves.

The particular incident that most pisses me off right now is the current complaint being lodged in the Farnham and District Football League.  Chawton Athletic, the team I play for up here, had got a very hard earned victory in the semi-final of one of the many cups we play.  This is the first cup final for the Yellows.  And it came after a penalty shoot-out, that I could not participate in as I'd been subbed.

So what do CSL Hartley Wintney do after they trudge off the pitch?  Fucking complain!  They couldn't take losing to a lowly team like us, so they lodge a complaint with the league using the very dubious reason that the referee only played twenty minutes of extra time, instead of the regulation thirty.  This, after it had been agreed before the extra time began!

I really hope they laugh at their sore-losing faces at tomorrow night's meeting.

Notice they play in green and white!  Okay, I'll stop about that...


Another thing that annoys me... DIVING!  And Niklas Bendtner bloody did it for Arsenal tonight.  Stay on your feet if possible, but never throw yourself to the floor like a dirty cheat!  Eduardo looked to have done it last season, Emmanuel Eboue has a reputation for it.  I wish Arsenal would just play their slinky football with out resorting to falling over!


And the fake card giving.  Why?!  Why the hell do you need to tell the ref how to do his job?  Are you a qualified ref?  No.  So stop trying to be one and just get on with the game.  They should dish out yellows to ANYBODY who flashes the imaginary card.  That'll stop them... or make games an interesting 7 v 7 affair!
