would you like us to sign a cheat like Robben to help us next season??I know it won't happen,but would you like a blatent cheat to play for SAFC???I prefer that our club play the game genuinely!Am I wrong??
Fair play to you mate, but all I want is to see my team win. Sure, I'd rather not have a cheat in the side, but in reality ALL top players bar Messi & Rodriguez do it.
Funny isn't it, is there a mediocre player ie someone we could realistically sign that is a habitual diver/cheat. All the divers and cheats are classed as world class or at most 1 step down from that, or at least none lower spring to mind. I dont like diving but going down like they have been shot, rolling around for 5 minutes then up and fine does my head in more, especially if it was a good tackle that got the ball and they get a free kick out if it. Would I like Robben or similar here, too right it would attract other world class players and put us on the map, if he cheated in a Sunderland shirt then I wouldn't like it and I hope he would get punished for it, but I would still want him here and hope he would mend his ways.
Define cheating? Robben style is underhand but this type of player usually gets kicked all game without any help from officials. Or the blatant cheat who brings a player down cos he's through on goal, gets himself red carded and banned for 3 matches? Catts anyone? It's all cheating. Robben is the worst kind of cheat tbh but would love him in a Sunderland shirt, one helluva player!
Remember Don Hutchinson? He had diving off to a fine art Always took the opposition player down with him to disguise it
The olympic judging panel gave 9.3, 9.6, 9.0, 9.2. For the pen the Sunderland fans gave 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 & then called him a Swedish tosser, lol.
Would I want a world class player at my club? Absolutely. Every player in the modern game dives and tries to con the referee in aome way or other. Its part of the game.
Wasn't it Gate'sy who used to have everyone shouting Dive Dive Dive every time he got in the box? The key word is blatant. They all f**king dive, hold their head in agony every time their hair is brushed, go down like they've been shot mate, so they all cheat. So we pick and choose the cheating we'll tolerate. Obviously, "blatant" embarrasses us. It's just the rest of it we put up with.
