Yes it is. That's why it's a foul. It's something you are not allowed to do.


:lol:

Doesn't make it cheating

It's part of the game


Well it depends what you do. There's no way that putting the ball in with your hand (or an outfield player making a "save) or bringing a player down clean through on goal is anything but cheating. Being offside, which is also a foul, is much less likely to be.


Grabbing an extra ball and scoring a goal without the ref seeing and giving the goal is cheating

Committing a foul isn't :lol:

If you do something outside the rules of the game in order to gain an advantage, that is cheating. If you inadvertently infringe a rule, that isn't.

That's pretty much the dictionary definition of cheating

Thought today showed why McClaren should never have got within a million miles of the England job whilst 'arry was robbed of what should have been his managerial swan song by the nob ends at the FA.

I guess it's not surprising to find some of Adkin's apologists w@nking over the perceived superiority of Derby's performance, indignant at QPR's victory following the only quality finish of the entire afternoon, all thanks to a very decent striker hired by the astute Redknapp.

Even when the fakes were a man short and looking down and out, I couldn't help but feel envious of Rangers fans who get to watch that team every week compared to the utter dross that costs me £425 a season :|

QPR defend better with 10 men than we do with 11 (and who is their defensive coach :roll: )

Derbys 3 centre mids looked good against Rangers 2. Meanwhile, Harry was playing 2 strikers, one of whom scored the £120m goal :|

Best of luck to Rangers, I just wish I could see the slightest chance of us joining them anytime soon.

Been trying to cut down on biting lately but can't resist. McClaren took MIDDLESBROUGH to Uefa Cup final. Would have been a farce to give it to anyone else at the time.

:lol: Getting Millwall to a cup final was no less an achievement but, guess what? That doesn't make you an England manager either. Get your head back up Adkin's backside, where you're bound to learn the square route of fcuk all.

If you inadvertently infringe a rule, that isn't.


So we're agreed then, QPR didn't cheat
