    He should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute

    .

    Hill Said : "I won't hold it against him and if he does it for England in the summer and we win the World Cup, I will certainly be supporting him," Hill said.

    "I'm led to believe he's looking for it but we get too involved in controversy."




    ....well thats just great - so according to Hill, cheating is ok....What kind kind of imbecile would advocate such a thing, to make points and win games by the use of dishonesty - not because you deservered it - the stupid lame brained oaf is recommending fraud - does he realise that ?

    This is the way the game is going! VAR being introduced to ensure things will be 100% correct but yet the game they covered between Huddersfield and Man Utd showed quite clearly on TV that Huddersfield consistently placed the ball well outside the quadrant on their left hand side but nothing was done.
    PLayers are diving and cheating and nothing is done except to say that they felt contact so they are entitled to go down.
    The game is going soft.

    He was always prone to ill advised and ignorant comments was our Keef, he went down like a lead balloon with us lot.
    But is he taking the mick here a bit with the 'if he does it to win us/England the world cup' comments ?.
    I mean the idea of us winning said world cup is hilarious to begin with, it shows hes still got an awful sense of humour. Does he still dress like a farmer at matches, in matching jacket cap & wellies ?.

    From the brief view I got of him Acido, he did look a bit odd.

    Am I wrong in remembering Keith Hill was once on the list to be a Burnley Manager ?

    Whether Hill is taking the Mick or not, he shouldn't be.

    All Managers in EVERY league should protest about cheating, but strangely they don't.

    And this VAR is just rubbish, we are all complaining of bad decisions by Referee's and linesmen (they are linesmen to me), yet the final decisions are in the hands of these muppets, each team should have 3 chances of looking at a certain decision, not losing that count if they are right, admittedly its still in the hands of said Refs, but at least it gives teams their opportunity to disagree.

    Don't know if he was ever really in the running Alto, but his name was certainly mentioned, possibly after Eddie departed but I'm not sure.
    I still call them linesmen as well, so does everyone in the game apart from ****s like Motson and Pearce. I watch a lot of non league where you can hear what's said on the pitch, all the players call them liners, and so do the refs.

    I hate to tell you this but diving has always gone on. Today thought, with slow motion and hi-tech gismos, it is being spotted.

    Our own beloved Jimmy Mac was asked what he thought of diving. He said that he would go down if there was a chance of a penalty.

    Franny Lee anyone?
