When it comes to cheating in football, we tend to employ double standards. Take a tumble untouched in the penalty area, gobble up some nandrolone so you can train harder and longer, or handle the ball so that you can cross to a team-mate who scores and knocks Ireland out of a World Cup play-off and you’ll be crucified as an inveterate cheat who brings shame on the game.
But go and buy good players with money you don’t have and then go and win thanks to those players who should not be playing for you in the first place because you can’t afford them and, somehow, it’s not as bad.
