Playing out the closing stages of their game in their own half with zero intent to attack.. despite being a goal down, to go through on fair play over Senegal...
darn right non gentlemanly if you ask me..playing for a draw is one thing...playing to lose 1-0 is a step too far IMO

It is against football.  Should be penalised as a factor in deciding who progresses.  That  would stop it.

Happens at the end of most seasons, why would they attack? (Ignoring the very real possibility of a Senegal goal)

Spirit of the game ( yes i am old and believe in that )  or by getting an equaliser they would have secured qualification ....

But risk conceding a goal which would have secured elimination...

Basically, if GTFC had stayed up doing that, I'd have no issues with it.

would rather suffer seven successive relegations than avoid one by going against the spirit of the game

Well that's just how they set up the competition with this bookings nonsense. They played the game to their advantage.

It was not entertaining though and cowardly for a country that prides itself on never giving up and the way of the samurai. It certainly wasn't in the spirit of what it says on the headbands the fans wear.

Neither was sneaking around the back of Singapore, instead of attacking the seaward side where we'd placed the big guns like gentlemen would have done.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
