A Moral Dilemma For you

[DeanoAustin]

We’re gonna win today with a dodgy decision and the Premier League are gonna take this thread as evidence against us. We’ll be relegated for bribery and Everton will probably also be deducted 12 points coz that’s just how the Premier League do things.

Thanks @thfcsteff.

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.

If it happens on the pitch, on TV, it's not "cheating", it's something else, edge, stretch, call it what you like, but in the sandbox of pro football, any action not sanctioned by the officials is "legal'.

Reminder.
Yes, it is cheating, but this is a bit of light relief? Gallows humour?
Sigh...

is there a moral dilemma about how much to pay De Zerbi not to play Gallagher and Muani?

Emirates Marketing Project's legal team agree with this message

If Romero fouls a bear in the woods and no ref is around, is it still a red card?

Clearly nobody bunged anyone looking at his performance

I assumed Brighton had.
Or if we did, it was an insulting amount.
