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 ?

:mad:

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 ?. ;D

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?

I didn't mind mad Keef to begin with Alto, he definitely liked to speak his mind, a lot actually!. And that at least made a decent change to some of our previous managers like Paul Hart, simple Simon Davey, & Mark Robins who were all as dour as hell.
But his big-mouth style of talking quickly got on our nerves and I don't think the majority of us ever really took to him.
Also he and his then asst David Flicker were/are a pair of right larry lancies lol.

[Altobelli]

Aye its always gone on 59, but not to the point of saturation nowadays, and not just that, the theatrical way most fake injury you'd think they was doing it for winning points, Like you 59 in the good old day's we'd see Lochhead and the rest get some crude dirty tackles on them, yet just get up and carry on, the Footballers nowadays surely don't realise how wimpish they look when they fake it.

[Supersub6]

It is all working more and more towards making the game a non-contact sport with every contact being punished with a foul one way or another.
The Delph sending off tonight caused mayhem because it was debatable if you are an elder statesman, however, in today's game it was regarded as reckless because, even though he won the ball, he was considered to have endangered an opponent.
The thing that made me laugh was the display by Pep when this happened because he has been saying for a few years that players do not need to tackle, they should read the game and make interceptions!

Looking at some of the tackles that some of his players have been on the receiving end of this season, I can understand his anger, however, his behaviour in the tunnel at half time was inexcusable.

Just where is the beautiful game going? Answers on a postage stamp please!

Norder --it has already gone that way ---what is the next step? THis is from 2 weeks ago but there has been a lot more happened since then. We, as fans, are being conned by players who are not even good actors. We would be better off spending the money at the theatre or going to a good concert. Very sad.

I suppose we could appreciate it as an art form.

And any one of us who saw him in action will surely consider this bloke to be the master.

....I think you've got the answer - Sub....just like actors - they don't live in the real world - the name of the game is glory and fame - its the winning at any cost (unless defeat is part of the strategy) doing your best and losing just isn't good enough, and those who promote this deception, to replace honesty with lies...are just as culpable as those who commit them....
It's always being said - players need to set a good example - well...what what kind of guide is dishonesty - for the young ones to follow ?

Cheers.
