What about that Classless call during the Hurns injury?

Quote:Of course it was classless, I'm shocked many of you don't think it was.


Here's an incident from 'soccer' here in the UK, when there's a foul and the ball doesn't go out of play you have a drop ball where a player from each team can compete for the bowl, what happens (it's not made to happen it's just sportsmanship) is the team who didn't have possession when the player went down goes for the drop ball unchallenged and just kicks it back to the team whom did have possession.


Now recently there was a game when it was 0-0 and this happened, the team in question I believe was one place above the relegation zone and they kicked it back but misjudged where the keeper was and the ball went in resulting in a goal.


Now did any rules say they couldn't score? No. Should the keeper of been in a better position to stop it even though he wasn't suspecting it? Yes.


Now despite this and despite the fact the team was close to being relegated they let the other team kick off walk through them unchallenged and score an open goal out of sportsmanship.


That is how sports should be played.


Benefitting directly from an injury, especially one involving a lifeless player is disgusting, going out of your way to challenge to try and benefit is much worse.
 

We're in 'merica. We don't talk about soccer.
