cornoccfc Member Aug 1, 2012 #2 Don't know the ins and outs, but this sort of thing happens in sport all the time. Even down at local level, if you're in a round robin event you'll think ahead and consider whether finishing 1st or 2nd is a better option.

Marty Well-Known Member Aug 1, 2012 #5 Brilliant, I don't mind usually seeing it, but at an event like the Olympics it should be all about fair play and that kinda thing.

Otis Well-Known Member Aug 1, 2012 #6 Very pleased they have been thrown out. I would be angry if the GB team did it too.
W westendunited New Member Aug 1, 2012 #7 kind of reminds me of a certain Coventry v Bristol city 2-2 draw many years ago !!!
ajsccfc Well-Known Member Aug 1, 2012 #8 If both teams were trying to lose, it strikes me as a perversely fair contest.
Covstu Well-Known Member Aug 1, 2012 #9 did you watch it, they were basically serving into the net constantly! It was so obvious they were trying to lose but the problem was that both teams were doing it!
