There's nothing like the sight of a footballer in the throes of righteous indignation, full of ire as he attempts to occupy the moral high ground.
Farce
The whole issue of kicking the ball out when a player is down has become a farce. All teams do it and most of them do it to waste time. Players don't lie down feigning injury when their team is chasing the game.
Supporters see the same thing week after week; a team holding onto a marginal lead using every trick in the book to waste time. And good luck to them, because Corinthian values left this sport a long time ago and the sooner everyone in the game wakes up and realises this the better.
It's competitive, high stakes sport and if you kick the ball out why should someone kick it back to you unless the rules say so?
Webster's goal was not in a particularly good spirit but it was perfectly legitimate and if Birmingham were wasting time maybe they got their comeuppance.
The duplicitous behaviour of players like Robinson is laughable. And I'm not picking on him here, it just happens that in the space of a month he has been on both sides of the same incident and acted differently on both occasions. Like most other players would.
There are rare and memorable examples of great sportsmanship littered throughout the game but 99 percent of the time the concept of sportsmanship is wishful thinking.
Now, with so much at stake, it's about time everyone got on with the game and played by the rules that are written down. Not those imaginary moral laws that footballers pick and choose when to abide by.
