The Cheating Jacks

Fri Jan 17, 2025 5:46 pm

So what will they resort to this time? They usually fall over or commit a bad tackle and immediately surround the ref and intimidate him, fall over even though nobody does anything, do anything to get one of our players sent off or dive in the box and demand a penalty. As this didn’t work last time they found a new way of stooping low - getting our manager sent off. They even have ex players in their crowd shouting abuse whilst our fans are told to sit down.

It's worked almost every time & a lot will depend on the ref falling for it but I think they'll start out doing the exact same things they always do We need to do the same & start falling like we've been shot over every time they so much as touch a player. It may not work for either team but you have to start somewhere.

They do cheat to try and get our players sent off.

But the players need to be streetwise to this and not give them the opportunity to throw themselves to the floor.

Cheats and liars by nature; conning the ref and getting in his face…! :banghead:

Mind you, it’s easy to tell when a Jack is lying; his lips move…! ;) :ayatollah: :lol:

Or he's rolling around on the floor like he's been shot.

The last game - Darling - all 6 foot plus of him about 15 stone fell backwards clutching his head when nobody touched him. Eventually got up and was laughing and our player got booked. A horrible man. No doubt a hero to the Jacks though.

Yup. Reminds me of Beaker in many ways. Limited ability so tries to make himself a hero in other ways.
