Cheating

[Ianbrownlee]

You cannot decide before a game that you will start dropping pieces on the floor,claim spurious draws or anything like that. 99.99% of games are played without any incident.

what happened in this case is the result of previous antagonism between two teams which erupted when one player in the recent match dropped his pen on the floor causing the other player to be upset. As I said there is a history between this two teams which I was partly aware of but did not appreciate until I saw what happened.

I still say that in this situation there should be a process to generally arbitrate these grievances. I should say in fairness that unfortunately those two clubs are not able in winding each other up. This is different from the initial discussion which is based on cheating. There is all sorts of cheating (at different levels) going on. Sometimes I believe its part of a strategy to gain a physiological advantage, sometimes its the darkside of us, sometimes its stupidity.
