Historical moments of cheating | With a super-sized portion of salt

[SER19]

Its right up there.

Suarez
Maradona
Sterling

The way Danes rallied after the trauma of eriksen epitomised the very best of football. All undone by the very worst

 

[horsechoker]

You love to see it

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

Eh? Even the Swedes here and Jonas Eriksson (FIFA ref) saying it’s a pen, the replay clearly showed the connection.

Confused?

 

[Nero]

England really get people rattled don't they.

 

[Ish]

Its right up there.

Suarez
Maradona
Sterling

Suarez at least got caught and punished

 

[Jagga7]

Wow these are sour grapes. It was a great run, got his rewards.

And waddle and Richards saying dive and crowd affected var. He's a serial cheat and just cheated a nation out of a semi final

 

[bosnian_red]

It's crazy that in a VAR world, they let that go ahead as a penalty. ESPECIALLY IN A feckING SEMI FINAL. Mad decision

 

[1950]

Its right up there.

Suarez
Maradona
Sterling

No offence to the others, but cheating VAR is on another level.

 

[bosnian_red]

Wow these are sour grapes. It was a great run, got his rewards.

It was a good run and the he dove and conned the ref more like?

 

[Red Star One]

Disgrace really no one serious tomorrow will be defending that decision

[tothetop96]

Don't forget Henry's handball. The absolute sense of hopelessness and disbelief that it happened at the time was sickening. I can imagine exactly how the Danish will feel about this, except it will probably be even worse for them as there were video refs who somehow actually gave it the nod. Really unbelievable, unless I'm missing something obvious.

 

[DickDastardly]

Top 3 definetly.

Maybe goes in line with Henry cheating the Irish.

Sterling is a right cnut.

 

[Strats]

Eh? Even the Swedes here and Jonas Eriksson (FIFA ref) saying it’s a pen, the replay clearly showed the connection.

Confused?

Like him in general but he's wrong here.

 

[acnumber9]

It’s alright. Lee Dixon said he doesn’t mind that he dived.

 

[Oranges038]

Yeah he cheats.

What's worse is that the ref and the VAR guys still can't see it as a dive.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Eh? Even the Swedes here and Jonas Eriksson (FIFA ref) saying it’s a pen, the replay clearly showed the connection.

Confused?

That’s mad. They can’t have seen all the replays? Never a pen in a million years.

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

That’s mad. They can’t have seen all the replays? Never a pen in a million years.

It’s a definite connection you nutters.

 

[kouroux]

Henry vs Ireland

 

[Pogue Mahone]

It’s a definite connection you nutters.

No idea what you mean by “connection”. It definitely wasn’t a foul.

 

[pablo__p]

Dunno if this makes top 3 but given it's a VAR era it's fecking embarassing.

Imaging being Danish and lose because of diving & inept ref. Heartbreaking. And I didn't even care for them that much 20 mins go.

 

[Pink Moon]

It’s a definite connection you nutters.

It's remarkable how wrong you are on pretty much every subject you enter into.

Bit of a shame to rob Denmark and their lovely story of playing for Eriksen, no?

Its incredible. A nation who still moans about a qf loss 35 years ago and disallowed goal in a game they got battered in, happily turning a blind eye to cheating an underdog nation out of a final

 

[Phil]

Up there with the Henry, Maradona, Suárez deliberate handballs. I've never seen cheating in a match before, a travesty, Denmark deserved this.

 

[dove]

UEFA supports divers so the decision to award a pen is not a surprise. Considering we have a VAR, this is definitely at the top of the list.

 

[Swoobs]

Its weird that the ref did not even went to the screen for a 2nd look. I feel for the danes

 

[Trequarista10]

It's coming home!

 

[duffer]

Trying to think of what is Chelsea most infamous bit of pitch "cheating"?

Spunking a load of money doesn't count. I mean during a match, a single incident.

 

[cyberman]

Sterling is only nudged over because hes diving over anyway.
Shocking.

 

[sullydnl]

There was definitely contact, which is why it wasn't overturned by what has been a very light touch VAR system.

But if the question is just "is that a penalty?" then most people (probably including the VAR) would say no. The ref's initial decision just has too much weight. There was minimal contact and he was going down regardless.

 

[arnie_ni]

Wouldn't call it cheating but it wasn't a pen

 

[Irwin99]

As United fans we can all admit Rooney dived against Arsenal all those years ago. Regardless of whether you're an England fan or not it was a blatant dive. England deserved the win though.

I remember when Southgate used to have it in for Ronaldo for diving He won't mind that.

Bosingwa on Benayoun. How he escaped a red is still a mystery

Having Atkinson on the payroll for 15 years.

You're utterly pathetic. Take a shower. Get a new hobby.

 

[Chabon]

Cheating to get to a final and then having to play Italy feels potentially rather kharmic..
