In The Winchester, Waiting For This To Blow Over
Country: Northern Ireland
Player:Gabriel
Our players are too honest, which should be rewarded.. but instead the way it works is that it favors dirty cheaters.
I would rather our players be honest and not exaggerate incidents, but since the system is so flawed and only rewards the cheaters it's quite a hard line to draw.
Sometimes I wish our players did exaggerate or "play" on certain contacts, but I am insanely proud of how well this team and our club in general works. It's not "the Arsenal way" to do stuff like that.
It's the referees that need to change, and stop rewarding these kinds of behaviors. It shouldn't be "if you can't beat them, join them". The system is just so damn flawed.
Vieira, Lehmann, Lauren...The Invincibles not only had great players, but great masters of the dark arts too.
All successful teams need them, I think.
