A Moral Dilemma For you

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

Reading this thread disgust me, voting yes demonstrates the moral abyss that football and fans have fallen into.

Na we deserve to go down.....we couldn't even get a bribe right....we would 100% go back to the table the night before to renegotiate

 

[Mcfee]

No. Right now we deserve to be where we are. 6 more games to prove we’re better than 18th.

Thanks to a late-night meeting with a gentleman called 'Nick' in a sleazy Soho bar (he insisted you call him 'Old' Nick for some reason), an opportunity has been presented to you. You have the opportunity to pass a large, brown paper bag full of cold, hard cash (untraceable notes) to referee Atwell before Saturday's game. In return for this bag, you make sure that Atwell agrees to throw the match our way via several highly suspect decisions which will prove unreviewable yet guarantee us victory. 'Old Nick', in turn, promises that with this single filthy act of corruption, you will guarantee our safety (don't ask how, just trust 'Old Nick').
The only catch is you cannot tell a soul - if you do, the deal flips and we will automatically be relegated even after the bung - and Johan Lange gets to keep his job.

Well??????? Could you do it morally? Could you keep your mouth shut?

It wasn’t Nick Beucher was it?

The bigger question is if you'd bang him for the same outcome.

C: No, I don't want these wasters getting a get out of jail free card

Eyes open or closed?

Too late. I'm already full swing on the Championship is going to be fun bandwagon

I'm kinda with you on that.
At least it'll be different. It's certainly more interesting watching championship games than PL ones

 

[Yiddo]

I’d nosh him off for survival, then i would make a few grand exposing him afterwards. I have no morals.

Or get banged

 

[Mikey10]

Absolutely not.

The cheating should happen on the pitch.

We’d also get caught for it and sent to the GM Vauxhall Conference.

Give it time.

If you're tempted to vote yes, follow these steps:

- place a few pinches of salt in your right palm
- throw it over your left shoulder
- repeat after me: "In aghaidh an diabhail."

It won't help anything, but you'll be cutting down on salt...

Just a bit of fun mate.
I don't actually think anyone here would actually bung anyone off.


Truthfully, despite my hubris, I am sort of resigned. If we fail to win against Brighton, I think the goose is cooked. As for bribing, I couldn't carry the guilt so wouldn't probably bother doing the crime.

I'm all for giving PGMOL lasagne before the final game of the season.

I appreciate you have posted it in fun but it's a topic I hold strong views on, always believed games and sport should be fair and enjoyable and to plan to cheat in them is despicable. Hate (not a word I often use) bribery, in my career I have been offered inducements to award contracts and always saw them as an insult to my character and integrity.

Likewise, I have been offered 'blood money' as I would call it and turned it down.

I would again take it as read that no-one is planning to bribe the ref today, but appreciate that even though offered in jest (and some sort of deep sadness TBH) this thread has not been your cup of tea.
Onwards we go!

What I would say is that this one is black and white. It is cheating what @thfcsteff.

Here's the problem though. So much of what is happening in football sits in the grey space. It's not as blatant as what we're discussing in this post but does cross lines. Players cheat all the time. Referees cheat the very laws of the game they are put on the pitch for. FIFA and UEFA cheat their way to financial gain.

I would love to build a case for football being both moral and ethical. It's not. In fact the game actually disgusts me nowadays. I drift further away from it every year.

Funny thing - if this was Craig Pawson, I'd actually be able to make this plan happen. Well, not having the means, but having the opportunity (he lives round the corner from me, so I could easily make the brown envelope pass-off)
