All players cheat. They dive, claim corners and throw ins that they know have come off them, roll around clutching their face when hardly touched and that's excepted as normal nowadays but if you say hacking down someone like that is acceptable and 'smart defending' then count me out...he needs to be banned for a long time

i still remember Tommo getting charged by the FA with "bringing the game into disrepute" due to his rant after the ref in LC final gave Forest a pen when Tommo brought him down just outside the box . The basis of his rant was " I'm the Liverpool & England captain so course i know to foul em before they are in the box for christs sake"

And when one nil down in a cup final again it was the right thing to do.

of course it is, doesn't need to be a cup final imo, if someone is clean through on goal you take him out and hope for a yellow.

This is a couple of years before I was born, but I am guessing they didnt have the "Last man" rule back then, because that would be an instant red card these days

I was 13...it was the first time they used the term professional foul as far as I remember. I think that it becsme an automatic red card after that cos there was a huge out cry iirc.

They tried to make it an automatic red card a season or 2 later, but it didn't actually come into effect until 1990, so that new hand-ball rule may be here a while.

Nonsense. You’ve stolen the London Cup from Chelsea.

Hopefully this appears on the BBC Sport ticker. Would be useful material for that tragic DOLL thread.
