Do You Recognise Hearts Scottish Cup Win?

[judas]

I do not recognise it as a legitimate win.

Paying players they could not afford at the expense of the tax payer and other creditors.

I see the win as a cheat.

[Hibernian Verse]

Yawn

[Hibs Class]

Certainly tainted by financial doping, the same as the bulk of what was won by the extinct club that was rangers.

[lord bunberry]

It happened so we have no choice. History will only record the result

[Hibstrooper]

Yes.

[FromTheCapital]

We were absolutely shocking in the final.

Most teams would've beat us on that day.

But, I do hear what you're saying. They spent lots of money they didn't have in paying and buying their players.

And now, they're completely ruined because of it.

No point in dwelling on it almost a year later.

That memory has gone and now we can focus on the Semi-Final this year and sit back and watch them struggle and die.

I mind being there and I don't mind us lifting the cup so on that basis I do aye

[Eyrie]

Yes.

I wouldn't give them them the opportunity to have a go at me for trying to ignore it, especially when you consider how many loan players we had in our team. But what I do say to them is that it's a pity that their referee ruined a game that they would have won anyway, which gives the "5-1" stuff a proper perspective.

[clerriehibs]

I like the cut of your jib.

No - I don't recognise it. Might have to accept it, but I'll never discuss it as a "football match".

[eastterrace]

think we should put this to bed , they beat us and they can do there hand signs but its in the past and it honestly doesnt bother me anymore, and if we keep going on about they will think it does bother us so lets drop it and let them die slowly.:flag:

[lyonhibs]

Yawn

:agree::agree:

It grates me to do so, just like it would grate me to see Hearts u13 Tiddlywink teams win the regional qualifiers, but yes I recognise their victory last year.

They absolutely humped us. Please let us not indulge in Yamtastic revisionism and try to say otherwise.

[Hibernia Na Eir]

I don't recognise the Merricks. end of !

[fat freddy]

old ground..we never won it so they must have...they're not the first club to spend beyond their means and they wont be the last...man utd have a debt bigger than vlads brass neck but no one is going to deny them the silverware they have won in recent times...let the yams have their 5-1, they'll realise what it cost them in the fullness of time.

[cleanyman]

We were humiliated.

On the park, pumped fair and square.

Not at any stage did Hibs look like they would win that final.

What a load of pish! They humped us 5-1 it was a legitimate win get over it.

[Kato]

In a roomful of other Scottish Cup finals I think I could pick it out.

[Hiber-nation]

What a load of pish! They humped us 5-1 it was a legitimate win get over it.

:agree:

I thought celtc fans were bad! Let the sad gits have their 5-1, its comical how its become an absolute obsession for the dafties.

[1two]

They beat us 5-1

[english_hibee]

Yes I recognise it as they won it, they thrashed us, as most teams would have on that day. We were awful, and you only had to see the teams getting off their respective buses to see who wanted it more - they were smiling, waving, looked like a team. On the other hand we were heads down, iPods on, not paying attention to anyone or anything.
Have they had a few years success by paying and fielding what they can't afford? Yes. I don't necessarily see it as cheating, I don't think there are many teams or businesses out there without a certain level of debt.

However, this season has shown how good they are when they are forced to live within their means and field a team they can afford. Any yam who gives it the great "big team, 5-1" rubbish from now on will have to come to the conclusion that such achievements have cost them their club, and I would take 100 5-1 thrashings if it meant my club was still in existence.

I guess that's the difference between supporting a team through good and bad, and supporting a club purely based on what they can win.

At the end of the day the highlight of their season is a Leigh Griffiths goal being disallowed and that is pretty damned pathetic....... Think they deserve pity more than anything

[Pete]

We were humiliated.

Disagree with every sentence. Maybe the last one had some merit but we were stopped the minute we looked like coming back.

It's tainted.

[Barman Stanton]

It happened, but it was with a team they couldn't afford. No one knows yet what it will actually cost them in the end. I just hope we get them in another cup final with a level playing field one day. They have shown that without the money they are due to themselves they are just like the rest of us. Pish!

[givescotlandfreedom]

Tainted. Their vile name should be scraped from the trophy.

[Pretty Boy]

Yes.

Plenty teams have spent outwith their means over the years and won things. It happens, they have to deal with the consequences now.

Let them have the win, it happened. He who laughs last, laughs longest and all that.

[eastterrace]

think it will be a wee while before they get back to a final so to meet us again i cant see that happening for a long time, :aok:

[cleanyman]

Disagree with every sentence. Maybe the last one had some merit but we were stopped the minute we looked like coming back.

It's tainted.

Well that's not true at all.

We would have been down to ten men regardless as Kujabi was on a yellow and got the 2nd yellow for a pull of the shirt. The penalty itself was the wrong decision, it was a free-kick.

The game itself was a pumping and we deserved to lose.

Never tainted.

[Scouse Hibee]

[hibeedonald]

Anyone who doesn't is Deluded, simple as that. Ask any Neutral.

[Hibrandenburg]

Anyone who doesn't is Deluded, simple as that. Ask any Neutral.

History will show that we got well and truly humped. The not too distant future will show that it's tainted but the score still stands.

[Dashing Bob S]

For the time being at least, everybody has to accept the result. Hearts have taken the gamble to pay massive salaries they can't afford and have put their club in jeopardy to win two Scottish Cups and a CL qualifiers spot. That was their choice, not ours, and we have to accept that result, just as they will have to live with the long-term ramifications of it.

However, it's likely that there could be subsequent legal and criminal investigations into the monies that went through the club, as an integral part of the fallen Romanov business empire. If these funds are established to come from illegal sources such as people trafficking, drugs, prostitution etc, this is far more serious for footballing authorities than any ETB issues at Sevco. It will almost certainly force Scottish and European footballing authorities to re-evalutate Hearts trophy 'wins' as it cannot be dismissed as a 'misunderstanding' or 'administrative error.'

But all this is out of our hands.

Right now we have to accept that these trophies were won by players who were paid legitimately, with clean money, by the leadership of a club who took a gamble on success, and accept it with grace.

[hibs4thecup1988]

I recognise it. We need to. Get it rammed down our throats often enough. HOWEVER. To say at no point did we look like winning is a load of rubbish. When mcpake scored that goal I turned round to my mates and said his clearance off the line has wonus this cup. Who knows what would have happened had sparky "taken a booking" for tripping the cheat up. He should never have got near the box.

But as people say its in the past. Forget and move on, never ever forgive.

[Wotherspiniesta]

Please.

Can we stop talking about this horrible game.

FTH! They can die! And like Captain McPake said.... "They'll never walk over us again!"

:jmcp:

[HibernianJK]

Facts are the players of their team wanted it. No matter what they were getting paid. They deserved it. Move on

[Pete]

What was kujabi booked for initially?? Why did Ian black not trigger the disciplinary crack down?

I'm sorry but I've watched the match again and am comfortable with my position. It's tainted and saying otherwise is doing the club a disservice. It's also letting that ref who had an anti hibs agenda off the hook.

[21.05.2016]

We just have to accept it happened and move on. Yes, hearts bought players they could nowhere near afford in order to get ahead whilst hibs were playing by the rules and within their budget but what happened happened even if it was unfair what they did. They bought the cup and it really leaves a bitter taste but like I said, it happened and there isn't anything we can do to change that now.

Hearts have endangered their entire club with their huge financial cheating and now they have to suffer for it. I hope the cup final was worth it, its no wonder they gloat on and on about it, it will properly be the last major success they have for a very long time, where as hibs on the other hand are still a solvent club and have a much brighter future. So let them have their tainted 5-1.

[RoYO!]

It happened, but it was with a team they couldn't afford. No one knows yet what it will actually cost them in the end. I just hope we get them in another cup final with a level playing field one day.

I find it hard to see how anyone could disagree with this! Spot on.

Am I angry about it? Not one bit, doesn't make it right tho!

It may well be looked on as their best win over us but i hated the semi final 4-0 worse. We only lost the final on the park, we lost the semi on the park and on the terraces.

An awful tackle on their right winger about 20 mins in.

[LeighLoyal]

They cheated us out of two Scottish Cups imo, it might sound like sour grapes to them but they were inflated by players who would never have been at their club had they been living within their means. The also had that cheat Thomson in their corner twelve months back, he was relatively fair to St Mirren yesterday but last year he couldn't help himself, the yam loving cheat.

[hibs4thecup1988]

If Hearts had 10 men we still would have lost.

Don't talk nonsense. Ian black ran over us that day. Without him their midfield would have been nothing

[cleanyman]

As did Skacel, Driver.

Their whole team dominated us from the 10th minute onwards.

[Paisley Hibby]

Paying players they could not afford at the expense of the tax payer and other creditors.

I see the win as a cheat.

FFS! As if it's not bad enough having the Yams constantly going on and on about last year's final :rolleyes:

Can't we all just accept the bleedin obvious and move on?

[VickMackie]

I don't see it as tainted because of the financial side.

Whilst we probably would have still got beat I feel cheated by the penalty and sending off.

I only seen the highlights of their game yesterday I wouldn't have gave St Mirren a chance from what I understand to be 20 minutes so I don't necessarily think we would have definitely lost.

What i do know is that we had a much better chance of beatind the ***** at 2-1 with 11 men with 40 mins left than we ever will of meeting them in the Scottish Cup final again and by a bigger score line than 5-1.

[Hermit Crab]

Bit of a paradox mate, you feel cheated but it's not tainted?

[DH1875]

They can have their 5-1. Won't mean a thing once we win it and they are consigned to the history books with the likes of Third Lanark.

[Jim44]

We were well and truly beaten. However I will never be convinced that the officials were completely impartial. On two occasions in the first half, a Hearts player ran the ball over the sideline by at least a foot and virtually under the nose of the linesman who had no excuse for missing it. Twice the cheat frantically waved play on. This may not have influenced the outcome but for me it was indisputable evidence that we were never going to get fair treatment at the important decisions.

[eastterrace]

[VickMackie]

I don't feel cheated because they spent more than us and more than they could afford. I may have updated my post before you replied though because I'd forgot to add that.

As I said, I've watched the match again and I am comfortable with my position. I think a lot of you are deliberately ignoring blatant bias for some reason.

I love my team and if I feel they have been wronged then I wont simply bend over and take it. If that embarrasses some people that's their problem. In my opinion they are embarrassingly subjugated.

Maybe some others would benefit from watching the match again. That's if they don't already watch it once a week.

[Eyrie]

This thread is probably the only thing that the Yams have had to smile about today.

[Big Frank]

Facts as I see them are ;

Black assaulted Leigh. Straight red every day of the week. Thats a big part of a big game to play with 10 men. Once that scrote (and the rest of the savilles) knew the nature of the official - all over.

Hertz got a penalty which wasn't. Not even near. Not contentious in anyway. Clearly outside the box. Thomson knew fine what he was doing.

If Blacks assault on Leigh can go unpunished, Kujabi certainly shouldn't have been yellowed for his 1st challenge.

Hibernian score their goal and were on the up in the match.

Penalty and sending off killed Hibernian. Not a hope in hell after that.

Craig Thomson is an anti Hibs twat.

That Hibernian team was completely crap.

No merrick I know will even take me on in a discussion about that game. They ken fine.

We have to take it on the chin and move on.

Hertz, the club, their players and their fans are a complete bunch of ****ing roasters. I hope they die. They have cheated Scottish Football as much as the govanites.

The greenjerseys look bloody lovely.

[matty_f]

And black was getting away with murder prior to kujabi's 1st booking.

St Mirren were getting trashed on Sunday ... but clawed their way back into it. As we had, before the ridiculous penalty decision. It's tainted all right.

I do not recognise it as a legitimate win.

and we all know the name of the referee who cheated us :aok:

and to add a little more, as far as i'm concerned, we beat hertz 1-0 at ER 2 weeks ago, it will show up in history books as 0-0...but we DID beat them 1-0 :agree: and once again we all know who the cheat on the line was

[Scottie]

This thread is probably the only thing that the Yams have had to smile about today.

Totally agree

Time to move on guy's. Last year was last year. They HAD their day in the sun

Our day will hopefully come this year and when it eventually does will be even sweeter knowing they will be squirming watching us lift the big cup.They'll have nothing left with no team to support when the plug is finally pulled. :titanic:

[Hibrandenburg]

They won it but to say it was fair and square is just ridiculous. That's like saying Lance Armstrong won his medals fair and square.

This!

[Benny Brazil]

It happened - we have to deal with it - it shouldnt be forgotten by the players though and should be used as motivation for us against Falkirk and if we get past them whomever we would face in the final - then if we win it - it can be put to bed.

[cleanyman]

"Fair and square"? Laughable.

I certainly wasn't laughing on the day.

Pumped.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Did the Yams have an unfair advantage in that game by having more than half a team on their books they knew they couldnt afford probably before the competition even started .... yes. But they are not the first team to do that I suppose.

Did a referee who none of us wanted before the final go on to spend 90 minutes justifying our doubts about him ...... yes.

But the truth is that three quarters of the Hibs team who took the field that day were not only a disgrace to the Green jerseys ... they were a disgrace to themselves as professional football players. Big bucks or not the Yams players looked like they wanted it more and most of our lot looked like at best they hadnt grasped the magnitude of the ocassion or at worst that they couldnt have cared less.

QOTS and Falkirk had played in cup finals at Hampden against the club formerly known as Rangers in the few years previously and made a much better fist of it than our sorry lot.

So yes .. tainted though it may yet turn out to be the result has to be accepted. Tell ya what though as fans we can be proud of our efforts that day .... that is a battle we definately won.

In the next 12 months the only question that will really matter will be the one the Yam fans will be asking themselves..... Was it worth it?

[Greentinted]

I recognise it as the record shows it to be.
However, I see it as a spectacular manifestation of the 'death rattle' and one which has preceded a long tortuous elimination for what had become a profligate, infected organism unfit for survival in a proper sporting environment.

I can live with the fact our team lost out to our bitter rivals the thing that really hurts is the manner in which it happened.
Yes every decision that could go against us did but if our players had applied themselves like they should have from the start like the fans then the result could have been o so different.We let them destroy us that day on the field by our inhability to even turn up and of course a little help from our unbias officials. History proves they won but nows the time to move on as it is all in the past GGTTH

[clerriehibs]

Exactly. Thirds pumped us 6-1 in 1961. A few years later they were gone from the league, and how often do you hear their fans gloating about that scoreline now?

[cleanyman]

[Jones28]

Pumped. End of. Move on.

[Miguel]

If you look at the history of Scottish football, you realise that systemic cheating was there from the beginning, but was probably exacerbated when the Old Firm rivalry got into full swing. Although Celtic portray themselves as victims, they were actually part of a status quo under which the game's authorities tried to manage a problem that was endemic in society, sectarianism.
Financial cheating was widespread before the game became professional, in the form of payments to ostensibly amateur players. Hearts cheated in the sense that they paid players above what they could afford. The refereeing decisions in the final may have been cheating, or may have been incompetence. Maybe even a bit of both. The final was tainted in these respects, but it wasn't the first and will likely not be the last. Cheating, in whatever form, is endemic in sport - all sport.

[Pete]

I like the patronizing way people who think nothing was untoward say "move on".
We have moved on, its simply that people who see things differently have different views and don't accept your version of events.

Some posters are almost taking pleasure in telling everyone how hearts had no help. They are speaking in a manner about, and using terms to describe my club that I don't think anyone who loves hibs would use.

This thread absolutely stinks.

[Hibercelona]

We were dreadful but clawed our way back into it. (In a similar way that St Mirren did yesterday)

We still had slim hope, but that was completely robbed from us from one of the worst decisions ever made.

When referees give a decision thats wrong, they hide behind the "instant decision making" chat. If they don't give a decision that they should have gave, they hide beyond the whole "have to be 100% sure" chat.

They don't half contradict themselves no?

How could Thompson have been "100% sure" that the fowl was inside the box, when it wasn't inside the box at all?

[JohnStephens91]

I stood and watched as the mutants tore us apart, not many Hibs players covered themselves in any glory that day, I stayed to the end and seen all six goals scored that day. I also seen the assault and the 'penalty' and the awful refereeing from Craig Yamson. As much as it pains me to say it, I accept they won it, it might not have been fair but it was certainly bloodied turd coloured ribbons on the cup at the end and not green and white.

It will cost them in the long run with the massive wage bill that the squad commanded. I hope they enjoy playing gash loan players like Ngoo from now on and having a crap mutant looking manager.

[hibee19]

They had better players on higher wages than us and they beat us. They might pay dearly for living outwith their means or they might not. If anything taints the win its the refereeing decisions but at the end of the day the record books will show us 1 them 5. I wouldn't risk our clubs future for short term success but to my knowledge they didn't really do anything illegal.

Not paying your employees on time and avoiding tax bills, tends to be slightly illegal.

[hibee19]

Not paying your employees on time and avoiding tax bills, tends to be slightly illegal.

What I mean is I see that as simply failing to run a business rather than intentionally cheating like Oldco Rangers. I'm willing to be proved wrong, I'm no expert.

I think its time we look forward, we are in a SC semi for the second year in a row while doing things the right way so I try not to feel too bitter about that day. I want a strong Hearts around to compete with but they have dug their own grave so I have no sympathy.

I don't recognize hearts full stop, a club with the most insulting and deluded fans in the history of Scottish football coupled with a cheating board that knows no ends and with a stadium that should have been shut down years ago due to health and safety issues and yet they continue to stick two (or a middle if you prefer) fingers up at the clear rules set out for all teams to adhere to, not paying players (or taxes) yet allowed to sign them for gain then simply discard them due to the fact they couldn't afford them in the first place and still think that they are some sort of Barcelona-Esq outfit is hard to believe they still exist and are allowed to carry on like there is nothing wrong makes me fume with real hatred for them. The SFA really have a lot to answer for in this instance and I really would like to know why other Directors of the SPL clubs say nothing..

Was Tax paid on Craig Thompson's money ? :devil:

[21.05.2016]

Thompson that day was a complete and utter joke and he made it very obvious who he wanted to win. I think if the refereeing had been fairer we still would have been beat as we were rank rotten but I doubt the scoreline would have been as flattering for hearts. The reason we were beat was because we had a piss poor side and hearts had a team full of good players they were wrongly allowed to buy as they could no where near afford them.

Hearts are bigger cheats than Thompson.

[Beefster]

Considering we put ourselves into massive debt paying the likes of Sauzee, Latapy and O'Neil, I'm not sure we should get too high and mighty about paying wages that can't be afforded.

The bigger problem with Hearts and their support, and why I'd be delighted to see them disappear, is their misplaced arrogance and utter delusion.

[Vini1875]

Yes.

I wouldn't give them them the opportunity to have a go at me for trying to ignore it, especially when you consider how many loan players we had in our team. But what I do say to them is that it's a pity that their referee ruined a game that they would have won anyway, which gives the "5-1" stuff a proper perspective.

Of course. If we had won it with a bunch of loan players would it mean any less. The thing about the cups they have won is that the cost will last much much longer than the glow of celebration. I do sort of feel that we gave it away rather than they won it though.

.

The main difference being that we done this mainly to get ourselves out of the 1st division. And it was at a time when Scottish football had a lot more money in it from sky sports. Yes we spent beyond our means but we cut back very quickly and recouped a lot of money by bringing on and selling our youngsters.
Hearts on the other hand have paid wages they can't afford for 30 years or so now, unsurprisingly this is also the length of time they've had the upper hand on us. This season is the first time they have attempted to cut back in my lifetime and what a coincidence they haven't beat us once all season.

I don't think the yams were that nervous before last year's final, as they have always had a special relationship with the big cup and knew that they just had to turn up to win it.
Which they duly did.

This year, however, if we beat Falkirk, they will be utterly wetting themselves before the final. Because if it goes the wrong way for them, they will have lost more than half of what they live for, which is to ponce about pretending they are on a different level from us.

Plenty to look forward to. :flag:

Exactly mate, No point pointing the finger at another club. Hibs let us down last year badly. This year we actually have some players who want to win. Hope we go out and finally do it.

Guy I work with once said to me "You will never in you're lifetime beat us winning the cup and that same year you got relegated". We have a chance to win it and not only that they could go bust. Believe me those words will haunt him if that happens as I'll print it out and sticking on every wall in my office for him. :greengrin

I was in the stadium watching some of the worst hibs players in living memory get hammered by a mediocre hearts team, even if you think they played players they couldn't afford we all still sat through that game and will have to live with it the rest of our lives.

For me, they may have pumped us but it will be forever termed as 'cheating to win' because, effectively, that is what they had to do! 5-1 mean nothing to me!

Agreed. A horrible, trashy embarrassing club with hun like tramps supporting them. Like i said earlier, let them have their 5-1, it will most likely be the last big success they have for a very long time. I don't go over to bigotsandchav.com AKA kickback, some of the guff they come out with is beyond cringeworthy (although very comical at times!). Even a couple of my decent jambo mates (hard to believe, I know!) no long post on their as even they stated that they were embarrassed by some of the things on their and the nature of a lot of the posters. I certainly have been disgusted by that site and its members since that massive thread a few years back that was just dedicated to giving as much racial abuse to Benji and Zemamma as possible - absolutely sickening to say the least and wasn't taken down for quite some time!

We were awful, and it's best forgetting that day. Hearts turned us over. It does stick in the craw a bit when you see how ordinary they are when they aren't cheating on the finances. They WILL pay for that cup for many years.

On the pitch, they won fair and square. I actually feel more cheated over 1979 tbh - stonewaller with 5 mins to go in the game. That was the standard of corrupt refereeing that went on in the old days.

You'd have to be pretty stupid to not recognise it as a win.

Let's not forget that Hearts team played the whole season and still only finished 5/6th (can't remember exactly) so it wasn't a team of world beaters by any stretch of the imagination but we finished 11th and league positions don't lie.

We were underdogs from the go and the thread before the final on Craig Thomson showed that Hibs had a problem with him and his cheating/incompetence (delete as you feel appropriate:wink:) definitely enhanced the scoreline. I still think we would of lost but 5-1? Not a chance, 2/3-1 yes!

However 5-1 was probably the best thing that's happened to Hibs in a while, it made everyone realise how badly we'd been failing the last 5 years and only now are we seeing a different Hibs culture and I'm all for that.

Also 5-1 gives Hearts fans something to cling onto and they need it, without it they have nothing. No hopes, no memories, no decent players, no money and no class. And when they die they can chisel 5-1 on their grave for all I care

[Beefster]

We cleared our debt. The "cheats" (quote courtesy of Campbell Money) believe thay can walk away from their £30m.

We hadn't cleared the debt when we won 6-2 or 0-3. I presume you struggle to recognise those wins?

[NAE NOOKIE]

Ach ..... Not only did they not match 7 = 0 it wasnt even our biggest defeat in a Scottish Cup final. :greengrin

Its time to forget about it and move on ....... Tell ya what I'm more bothered at the moment about our cuffing at Motherwell last Friday than I am about last May. Now that is something we should be bothering about.

[Dashing Bob S]

The Thomson cheating is a total red herring. Yes, it ruined the game as a spectacle, but we were poor and Hearts probably would have won anyway. I think Thomson cheated the fans out of a contest, but not us out of a cup. We were dire last season and lucky to get that far. Yes he's a cheat and *cum, but sadly you run up against these people in the poisonous backwater that is Scottish Football - get over it.

More contentious and potentially interesting is the 'financial doping' and what the eventual legal inquiries will make of where the money to pay Hearts wages came from.

But all this is out off our hands, (and Hearts also) so we shouldn't be getting excited about it at the moment.

So yes, we must accept it for now, it as a legitimate, albeit highly tarnished cup win for Hearts.

[Pete]

We hadn't cleared the debt when we won 6-2 or 0-3. I presume you struggle to recognise those wins?

They were spending more than we were during those periods and they had much more debt. If anything it was a level playing field.

Anyway, your correct about not actually recognizing the match. Thats a bit mad.

I totally believe it to be tainted though. It certainly doesn't mean I haven't moved on or haven't coped with it somehow. Its yam talk to suggest that 99% of us weren't over it after the first derby.

There are poor decisions, but then there are a multitude of poor decisions combined with a history of heavily biased strange decisions.

I've no doubt Craig Thompson enjoyed Hibs getting beat that day. He's a cheat. The SFA thought his record was worthy of review, and subsequenly keeping him away from our fixture for a full round of games, when the season before, he was one of our most regular officials.

However, the result still stands. When Hearts die, their right to gloat about it dies with them. You can't support a team that doesn't exist.

They know it's tainted and worse for them now is that most of us aint interested in that result which, in effect gets them even more annoyed!!

The jumbos can have whatever they want, believe whatever they want and say whatever they want. If it means I'm delusional - then so be it!

Edit: I'm just disappointed that the thread starter has been on the site since he/she posted the thread but has made no comment about any of the responses. Makes me wonder what his/her aims were in starting what was sure to be a controversial debate

Your 5 yr old won't know right from wrong either.

Your 5 yr old willl also be told "cheaters never win".

Of course he knows right from wrong.

He'll also be told "it's great to win and you should do your best all the time but if you don't win, suck it up, act like a man and do better next time".
