This is why I hate football

Just watching the liverpool / villa game on tv now.

That penalty decision was a joke, on the replay the villa man quite clearly starts to fall before getting anywhere near the liverpool fella (can you tell I don't know any names hehe). This is after he boots it out of play without a chance in hell of getting to it.

Seeing this kind of cheating just makes me angry at the game. Why can nobody play it properly? Everyone just tries to con the ref!!!

Personally I'm a rugby and cricket man (private education) but used to play football for th local club for many years so I'm not totally clueless. You don't see trickery and cheating in cricket or rugby like you do in footy. These sports are playing by men who don't moan like little girls all the time, those who take pain with a pinch of salt and wont eat the ref when a decision goes against them

Whereas in rugby, it's ok to grab the opponents testicles, put your finger up his rear end, punch him, tread on him etc.

In cricket, the players no longer walk when they know damn well they've nicked an edge.

Every sport has their downsides, football's just the most popular on the planet and every little thing is hyped up.

People whining about the amount of money footballers make is also extremely tiresome now, don't you think rugby players, cricketers or any other sportsman would take the money if it's offered, wake up everyone.

Point taken but it is in my opinion that football is on a completely different level wih regards to cheating / whining / corruption

There was no doubt the challenge was wreckless but the players always look for it, thats the problem. They don't want to score goals the real way, they'll just look to go down all the time, he could have EASILY avoided his leg in the challenge.

I'm just trying to get across the poor attitude of all footy players.

Was wondering how long it would take you to get in here.

You really don't like RvN do you, saw your thread also but avoided it like the plague as your brother has made numerous posts on that topic
