Sucks for Georgia this time.
Croke Park - February 2009

70 minute : IRL 0 - Georgia 1
Robbie Keane controls the ball with his arm close to the georgian box.
Then the ref gave PK to IRL for a georgian handball.

My georgian not good enough to check what they thought about it and
could not find Irish apologies for this lame PK either. Sucks for
Georgia this time.

They all try to outfox the ref, that s part of the game now. You take
the throw in 5 yards closer, you cheat. You ask for a corner when you
know you were the last one to touch the ball, you cheat. You kick the
ball far to waste time, you cheat. You grab a player shirt, you cheat.

They are plenty in France as well right and i am sick of listening to
them as well. I always said it, it was not pretty and i understand the
Irish cries, but ....

I am all for addressing cheating in football in a systematic way; however, I
do mind the self-serving, selective outrage of the hypocrites.

So, what are the odds of PaulC posting in this thread?

Congratulations to Shussbar for pointing out this hypocracy.

As an Irish caller to Talksport was honest enough to point out
yesterday:

When these decisions go against you, it's the worst thing in the
World.

When they go in your favour it's all "swings and roundabouts, these
things even themselves out over a course of a season........."


For right or wrong that's the way football is.

You didn't. You've just proven yourself wrong again.

I was not trying to point fingers to Irish or others, let s be clear.
System is rotten and i don't want to hear FIFA talking about fair play
one more time when they don't have he balls to face the facts, and i
am not talking ony about this hand. The game is rotten by greed,
pressure to win at all costs, etc

the problem is that "rotten by greed, win at all costs" is the message
that children starting to play the game and learning from - not from
parents but from would be heroes. "Its OK to cheat if you win" isn't
what the image of the game should be about. Many other sports use
video referees and do so very successfully. If anything should come
from this latest debacle, it is that bad publicity shouldn't ruin the
game for all of us.

Don't be too hard on Keane, he's the only Irishman so far to suggest the
goal
may have had more to do with a ball bouncing in the six yard area and bad
defence.

Hats off to you Roy for not joining the parade of soft cocks. Here's hoping
you
use your influence to highllight the need for technology

He was talking about the other Keane, Roy's little brother Robbie.

for saying that nothing short of a comprehensive policy to stamp out
cheating will do? Get real.
