Start a thread on off topic. Maybe you'll give a different persona. I doubt it though.

Just watched it. Can't believe summarisers in the studio celebrated that. Wankers.

Never a pen.  PSG missed 3 sitters.   Shit happens.  We will be back doing this in 5 years.

It was alright but it was no beating Burton on Boxing Day.

I doubt we will have to wait five years to miss sitters, and have shit happen to us.

I dount we will have to wait five years to miss sitters, and have shit happen to us.

Well depends on Dr Ts patience and bank balance.   I think it's shit or bust for us.

Think negative.

We could be shit AND go bust.

Full House!

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

The only reason im happy with it is because I backed Barca to qualify before the game, otherwise they're a bunch of snidy ******.

It's cheating though isn't it? It's not gamesmanship, not "buying" the foul, he's not "just that sort of player", it does matter in the context of the game and it's cheating, nothing more nothing less. But what sort of cheating is it?

Is it cheating like Ben Johnson? Is it cheating like Lance Armstrong or is it cheating like Diego Maradona?

Or is it the sort of cheating that, were it pulled up on a regular basis, we would all be denied such great drama, we would all be denied such magical footballing moments that live long in the memory?

And the Champions League would be denied the best advert for the Competition in years, giving a boost to a gerrymandered competition and those that always seem to participate.

To penalise the cheating would also deny the opportunity for ex-players cultivating a living by watching the game the chance to dance around the studio in delight mere days after their employers signed a multi billion pound deal for exclusive coverage.

Nah, it's not really cheating in the real sense, in the sense that rules must apply when participating in a game or sport.

Having said that, it IS cheating if the diving bastard does it against England at the next World Cup. It's definitely cheating then and something must be done in that situation for the good of the game that we invented. It must be stamped out, starting at grass roots level and kids football. We must ensure that cheating doesn't become part of the game or we're all going to hell in a handcart. No, no cheating in football.

Apart from just a little bit now and again.

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
