Please do not misconstrue my words Steve, I said "Cheating is rampant in football, even simple things like taking a few yards at throw in or free kicks happens EVERY time and that is the bottom end of the scale."

Yes stealing a few yards has become acceptable, but it is still cheating. It may be minor but it is still against the laws of the game which are seldom imposed fully.

Wrestling players in the penalty area at corners happens almost every time and is ignored by referees and linesmen, taking dives is commonplace, feigning injury takes place in every match.

Not only are the above unsporting, they are against the laws of the game.

Take a look at Rugby sometime to see how a game can be played.
