    Rugby is hardly innocent but even Beattie feels football is worse - the first sentence of his article makes this clear:

    " Rugby is turning into a cheat-fest and creeping inexorably toward football-style behaviour. "

    It's amazing how people's perceptions or views change on such fine margins...

    Interestingly Fabregas demanded the last penalty... I hope there's a good few posts condemning him.. but the coach agreed so he was fine with it.
    I'm not conceding defeat as I actually don't have a strong opinion either way. Even normally good penalty takers miss occasionally, e.g Ashley Cole

    Shock.. Rugby pundit prefers Rugby.. read your own words here...

    "That does not make it right - ...... - I'm afraid it ruins many a game for me,...

    Yes - compared to match fixing and racism diving is a minor issue, but it is still worthy of criticism when it occurs."

    When have ever started or commented on a thread on cheating in Rugby.. or is a personal issue.. did Ronaldo upset you when he got Wazza sent off... this thread really does bring out the worst in football fans...

    A guardian journalist did a similar article lambasting Ronaldo, thankfully the comments put him right, you'd expect more from a non-tabloid... Ronaldo also took the 5th against England so it was nothing new.

    I see why Ronaldo winds people up, he certainly thrives under that hatred, but its idiotic and petty to have a go for being asked to take the 5th penalty..

    Some of the best sport I have watched has been football - some of the worst sport I have watched has been .... football.

    As to football vs rugby I am happy to watch a good game of either.

    Come on... he is annoying. Look at his face. Very annoying. And he's talented. Very talented. And rich. And famous. Is it any wonder he gets on people's tits?
