Hopefully teams quickly learn there is no longer any benefit to time wasting. Play the effing game.

still has value as a disruptor
Still cheating and should be treated as such.
Diving, faking injury. How do people find it acceptable or a part of the game?

because above all else, I want Spurs to win
by time wasting, I include holding the ball in the corner, making subs, etc
Holding ball or making subs isn't cheating.
Where is the glory of winning through cheating? You may want saudi owners. Spend 10x as much as the next team. You may find joy in that. I wouldn't.
I did when i was a kid. CM2. Got man utd to buy our brick players for fortunes and bought superstars for spurs. It was hollow.
Much rather the challenge these days. If it doesn't succede. Keep going till it does.

I don’t see it as cheating as if there is a written law and you intentionally trade the time for the punishment, that’s just using the rules to your advantage.
There is glory in winning by being smart.
I do not want rich owners, that would be real cheating and I wouldn’t support a club that went down that path.
The difference is, one happens on the pitch for all to see.
Are you mental? So if you willingly accept prison for raping someone, that would be acceptable?

As I wrote earlier we are expected to accept cheating by the explayers in the media, no presenter is prepared to pull them up and say they're wrong as it's just a boys club (the females have join in) to glorify winners no matter how it's done.

Using the laws of a pro sport to your advantage is in a whole different envelope to actual crime in the real world.
I’m talking about football.
I'm talking about everything. Corruption. Way the world is.
The more we accept cheating. The more fudged we are.

Ron Henry
We do and we always have, it’s not new.
Footballers have always made tactical fouls and the like.

I’m talking about football incidents performed by football players on a football pitch in a football match in a football stadium in a footballer thread on a football forum.
I was only talking about football.
Disagree.
You have rules and laws at all levels. You break them, you should be punished.

The fact they do it doesn't mean it's acceptable, doing the wrong thing should not be ignored or accepted, people break rules all the time and it leads to a moral decline.
Baleforce
Ron Henry
I completely agree.
But in a pro sports environment, that has no actual real world importance, if breaking the law benefits you more than the punishment for doing so, I’m all for my team doing that.
It’s only a game.
Why have any rules in football then?
Which rules should teams/players be allowed to break?
Which should be important, which should we ignore?
Baleforce
Ron Henry
Or did the moral decline result in more rule breaking?
Baleforce
Ron Henry
that’s a judgement call for the coaches and players, each situation is to be based on its own merits
if you can benefit from breaking a law of football perhaps the punishment isn’t hard enough?

They go hand in hand. Surely the ethos of any sporting events is to test your skills against an opponent to see who is best on the day? It may only be a game but what glory is there in cheating to win?
