[QUOTE="RoyalBlueStuey, post: 116454"] That's part of my point...my team isn't that good by any stretch of the imagination, we aren't one of the moneyed elite, but I can still post numerous examples from the last year of them exhibiting all the best facets of a fine, fine sport. They go on about cheatball etc etc but I was actually at THE DiCanio game when with the goal at his mercy he chose to call the ball dead to allow our injured goalkeeper to get treatment instead of scoring. It was a fantastically noble and stupidly corinthian thing to do (and let's not forget he wasa pretty villified player). Just putting on montages of the worst examples of footballing cheats and comparing them with moments of rugby genius should be beneath us. It was one of our players showing tremendous close control to make mugs out of one of the best midfields in the country....if you are only capable of appreciating actual goals/trys I can post some of them. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gCfxeNiFplM"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gCfxeNiFplM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GE2gLkI67sI"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GE2gLkI67sI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> That's a sign of the tremendous player...but not a 'hard' one.
