Cheats?

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

My friend in New York muses " why divers in soccer considered cynical cheaters who deserve to be banned for life but defenders who grab a handful of jersey or go into bone-breaking tackles are "tactically sophisticated."

The one I love is how someone in an oval ball code 'milks a penalty' but football is full of poofs who dive and cheat.

How's my driving? - Whine here

yep agreed.

and my favourite rugby comment "slowing down the ruck" which in reality is blatant hands in the ruck = cheating. If an openside flanker cheats all game and his team wins it's classed as a great individual performance... richie mccaw is the best cheater in the world - so that means he's the best number 7 in the world.

Don't get me wrong, i love my rugby, and i love richie, but the hypocrisy from the general public is disgusting.

Not bashing the other game, but why do rugby referee's have to continuously tell players what they can and can't do? If they're doing something wrong, penalise them! They act more like 5th grade kids coaches running around on the field with the players.
