Irish Sports People & Cheating
Michelle Many Names. Our greatest Olympian. Ever. FACT;
The horse jumping guy, with the rich Godfather who tried to sort it;
Jessica "I won't be on the same team as Cian because he cheats" Curtain;
Robbie Keane & his dive for a peno 'gainst Russia - No it's not OK to cheat, especially after we made such a fuss about your mans hand ball;
& now Harrington......what was he thinking? Should've taken the 2 stroke penalty Padraig, you've always played by the rules - to a fault. Until now.

Re: Irish Sports People & Cheating
Moving the ball a couple of mm towards the hole, it's just not cheating imo, there's no advantage to be gained. Complete brainfart, don't know what he was thinking, but cheating? No.
And I don't even think it's a 2 shot penalty, because he moved the ball in the act of removing his marker he could have just replaced the ball for no penalty.

Re: Irish Sports People & Cheating
IIRC, if he moves the marker, and the ball moves while he is doing so, then its a 2 shot penalty. If the ball moves before he tries to move the marker, he can replace it without penalty. The proper/usual thing to do, if in doubt, is to call the penalty on yourself.... And it was definitely a penalty...Danthefan wrote:Moving the ball a couple of mm towards the hole, it's just not cheating imo, there's no advantage to be gained.

If he replaces it in the wrong place, that is also a two shot penalty.

In fairness, takes the disqualification on the chin and says he deserved it... I believe him that he thought he didn't move the ball.

Shake your di*ks, this pissing contest is over!

If he was so sure, the simple thing would have been to advise the officials so they could decide.leinster80 wrote:http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/9369235.stm

1.Your list doesn't contain Michael Cheika & Leinster vis a vis Wasps away in London and uncontested scrums i.e cheating.
2. You are clearly no Golfer.

!7th January 2009, about five to six in the evening. In the twickenham night, two antipodeans are huddled over a mac book pro
"Hey Johnno mate, I've just had this bonza idea"
"Yeah Michael, what is it eh"
"Well, you know that drongo we signed from South Africa, we should take him off, then we could take of Stan, and we'd have uncontested scrums"
"I dunno Mike, its a risky one eh"
"I know, but what we'll do is, we'll take the cobber off, then not play him again for the rest of the season"
"Still a bit risky eh"
"Okay okay, then we'll keep him on the bench for next season as well"
"How long does he have left on his contract anyway eh"
"18 months, so this'll only cost us about 600k in wages"
"Okay, so to sum up, we'll take off our highest paid player, then to cover up, not really use him for the rest of his time here eh"
"Yep, ripper of an idea isn't it. I must have been a flamin' galah not to have thought of it sooner"

Mildly amusing neighbours-esque dialogue which reminds me of the The Poem by the Australian Helen Rosengren.
Denial
Denial is a river
That flows through my vein's
To my heart it delivers
A way to keep me sane
It just didn't happen
It just cannot be
That is the message
It brings home to me
Denial is a fence
Surrounding my soul
It is my only defense
To unbelieve what I am told
Block the pain from life
Try to set yourself free
Rid the suffering and strife
Trying to live inside me.

Re: Irish Sports People & Cheating
Calling Harrington a cheat is disgusting and out of order. And to have him in a list with suspected drug takers....
