CHEAT OF THE WEEK 21-11-07
Peter Owen
We'll start this week's special feature with some correspondence in reaction to last week's article.
First up is Martin Liveley who wrote to query last week's article which awarded Birmingham City's Daniel De Ridder Cheat of the Week:
Cheeky gits, De Ridder was fowled, stick to your own end and keep your noses out. UP THE BLUES.
De Ridder is a turkey as you state, which is why our expert panellists plucked him and stuffed him. All I did was stick their label on his cheating Arse-en Wenger. So on behalf of us lucky gits thank you for having the balls to tell us you know nowt about refereeing but that you are indeed a true Blue!
Jay Jeffery also had something to say:
How about [nominating] Gareth Southgate for not being allowed in the ground!!!
This feature is called "Cheat of the Week" as the passionate post from Martin clearly emphasises. He has been duly rewarded.
However, if you check out the home attendances of Derby County who are rooted at the basement, you will also learn how to spell out passion in a numeric fashion. They may be bottom but their crowds are spot-on.
And so on to this week's article:
The Scottish FA are so sick of seeing the rising level of cheats that they are planning to introduce new measures from January 1st 2008 to combat it.
Shirt tugging/holding, pushing in the penalty area and mass confrontations - all serious foul play and unacceptable behaviour - are just some inclusions in its front.
A lot of people do not realise that a referee only has one pair of eyes and is merely human, besides their middle-man name!
Now imagine that Andy Gray geezer taking control of a derby game because he gets right up my MUTE - BUTTONS - NOSE.
I can just picture those Group Four guys putting a blanket over his head to take him off for his half-time cup of "Instant Diarrhoea Bung".
Football will never eradicate its cheats unless it firstly points the fingers of correction at the managers who cause it. This feeds through to their players and is the major reason why cheating in the modern game is so widespread.
Several football managers these days are a pain in the backside. Have you noticed how the same ones never see a thing if a dodgy penalty favours them but find perfect vision if the incident is reversed?
So unless the authorities bring these disrespectful managers to book first and foremost, they are building something that will never stand up because it has no foundations!
Before I move on however, I would like to make it clear that there are many managers who are perfect ambassadors and they are to be admired.
Looking through this season's Cheat of the Week archives, our Brazil
Nut Dida is still a furlong in front of the chasing pack.
However, don't hold your breath!
The January transfer window is looming and soon an airport will see a player swanking through its corridors in designer swimwear whilst swinging his lolly-brolly.
Finally, our expert panellists should restore this feature to normal service next week.
Cheat Of The Week is published weekly. No bullshit. No more cheating. Enough is enough. Contact us here with your nominations for Cheat of the Week.
