Michael Laudrup encourages Swansea players to dive?

A nice 'is he allowed to say that?' Moment from Laudrup -

He doesn't explicably say it, but you can make your own mind up on what 'being more cynical to attract penalties' indicates he wants.

I have to say, it's becoming a very cynical sport generally . Penalties are supposed to be primarily a punishment for a team that have broken the rules, only inadvertently benefitting the opposing team. I don't think any team has a 'right' to win more penalties.

It's borderline certainly!

In his whole time at the club they haven't had a single penalty - should that be celebrated?

He says he wants his players to be more cynical - not sure what that means really!

"more cynical"  

Watch less Disney films and more Bill Hicks?

Perhaps dabble with a bit crazy professor dawkins too for good measure?

I suggest he means the second of the following dictionary meanings of Cynical, or does he? ha ha ha.

cynical |ˈsinikəl|
adjective
1 believing that people are motivated by self-interest; distrustful of human sincerity or integrity: her cynical attitude.
• doubtful as to whether something will happen or whether it is worthwhile: most residents are cynical about efforts to clean mobsters out of their city.
• contemptuous; mocking: he gave a cynical laugh.
2 concerned only with one's own interests and typically disregarding accepted or appropriate standards in order to achieve them: a cynical manipulation of public opinion.

and on the basis of those meanings, I would also suggest that he be prepared to see his players cynically laughing when they get more yellow cards.

oh dear i'm gutted
