stez Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 here saw the tv footage of the fella coming off the pitch, and it looked so fake, but no doubt at the time i'd have thought is was a really nasty cut, through a main artery or something!
Father Ted Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 He quit Harlequins last week and he obviously knew something was coming.
Jimmy Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 wonder if this'll be brought up when the media compare the "scum" footballers to the "bastions of honesty and respect" in Rugby when the next time a group of players confront an incompetent official...

Jimmy Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Very good point. an incident like this could NEVER happen in our sport either
Alexikokopops Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 an incident like this could NEVER happen in our sport either You are absolutely correct. You'd never find a footballer faking a cut to affect the outcome of a game. Oh no. Especially not a goalkeeper. From Chile. In a World Cup 1990 qualifying match. Called Roberto Rojas. No sirree! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Rojas
Cobbo Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 You are absolutely correct. You'd never find a footballer faking a cut to affect the outcome of a game. Oh no. Especially not a goalkeeper. From Chile. In a World Cup 1990 qualifying match. Called Roberto Rojas. No sirree!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Rojas He didn't fake it - it was a real cut - the only issue was he had cut himself with a blade hidden in his sock...well, if he is that desperae to have it abandoned, I say fair play...
lou Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 I actually cant wait to see my Dad and wind him up about his "hero" Deano being banned.... hes another one (my Dad) whos constantly going on about Rugby being the game for Gentlemen and anyone who watches or plays football is a thug. This is brilliant!
lildave3 Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 He didn't fake it - it was a real cut - the only issue was he had cut himself with a blade hidden in his sock...well, if he is that desperae to have it abandoned, I say fair play... Nathan Woods from Dream Team. Heroic.
Finnegan Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 an incident like this could NEVER happen in our sport either Fuck off, mate. What's the difference between this and Didier Drogba rolling around to waste time? Or feigning injury to get someone sent off? I tell you what the difference is - the "bastions of honesty" in rugby know how to find, punish and make example of a cheating bastard. If this was the above mentioned footballer he'd have a three match ban and his club would be fined something like £50'000. Quins were fined a quarter of a fucking million (that's a hell of a lot in rugby), the player has a year's ban and Deano has a THREE YEAR BAN - that is if anyone will even employ him again! Football has a lot to learn from rugby - not the other way around. How long was Cantona banned for for assaulting a fan? A year? And how about Trevor Brennan? Life. After appeal the sentence was brought down to five years but given the man was thirty-three at the time they were basically one and the same. So don't even dare, to be honest.
stez Posted 18 August 2009 Author Posted 18 August 2009 words i think his words may've been laced with a little bit irony. great rant though. when's the next thracian vs finnegan installment due?

No sirree!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Rojas AHAHAHAHAHA @ Jimmy He didn't fake it - it was a real cut - the only issue was he had cut himself with a blade hidden in his sock...well, if he is that desperae to have it abandoned, I say fair play... actally the Rugby guy cut himself too when he got back into the changing room.. the oppositions phyiso smelt a rat and followed them all back down into the Harlequins dressing room and was refused entry to look at this so called blood injury.. But good for Rugby... for giving a tough harsh sentence that might actually deter someone else from doing the same for a change...
lavrentis Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 Must have tasted awful to have all that blood in your mouth.
Finnegan Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 he's like michael knight, he operates outside of the law I love that. I might even sig it.
BoneDog Posted 18 August 2009 Posted 18 August 2009 These fake blood injuries are very common in Rugby Union. Not my words

Finnegan Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 Like I said, this is absolutely no different to trying to get players booked or sent off in football.
Alexikokopops Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 yeah but when the player goes off for stitches you can't bring a set piece specialist back on Yeah, but Roberto Rojas didn't go off for stitches. Chile were losing 1-0 and needed to win to qualify for the 1990 World Cup. Rojas did it to get the match abandoned, which it was
Koke Posted 19 August 2009 Posted 19 August 2009 Like I said, this is absolutely no different to trying to get players booked or sent off in football. I disagree. I think there's a difference. Cheating is cheating, but there are different levels of it.
