Acceptable cheat or not? (1 Viewer)

Okay, so I had a mini stroke two years ago (am fine now) and do suffer from high blood pressure.

I can actually take defeats easier these days compared to when I was much younger, when they would pretty much ruin my weekend. But actually during games now, I can find it a lot more stressful at times.

Anyway, getting to the point, what I did tonight and have also done once before this season, is to cheat a little.

So, I have NOW, which is notoriously known for being around 2 mins or so behind the live action. On NOW it could be the 35th minute, but if I go on the BBC Sport website, it's 37 mins gone

As a side note, I only do this when there is danger from the opposition and not when we have the ball.

I think one incident, as an example. We were leading 1-0 and they had a free kick in a very dangerous area.

I was getting stressed, so quickly went on the BBC site and saw it was 2 mins ahead and that we were still winning 1 nil, so I knew the free kick didn't come to anything.

I know it's slightly nuts, but it does save my heart.

Is this acceptable cheating?

I also remember during the Women's Euro's, when it came to pens, I just paused the live TV and waited til I knew the outcome, before watching it all back. Again, my poor heart couldn't take it.

Anyway, it really worked for me tonight and I am very much intending on doing it again in upcoming matches.

Opposition get a dangerous situation on the attack, I check the BBC website, to see if it actually came to anything

I'm exactly the same. Heart problems so I look at bbc sports football fixtures to see if we've conceded.
I still haven't found a solution for when I'm at an actual match though. .
Stay strong Otis
