Pedro Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 It was a brilliantly executed headbutt though. I'd give him 9/10 for style P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 True. Ask Mr Cantona about that one IMHO in that case the bloke in the crowd got what he asked for. As for yesterday, I thought the French deserved to win more than the Iti's (before the 'incident') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Yes it was impressive, but with world class players behaving like that on the worlds centre stage is nothing short of disgusting. The sport is always followed by ill repute and that doesnt set a good example. Just like Beckham and his crafty calf kick. They get paid far too much money the least they could do is be professional!

Let's not forget these are not clever people As for the head butt it was a bit low, he would be booted out of Glasgow for 'kiss' like that, very little damage to the other person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't no the meaning of the Word, Untill they change the rules & start to punish cheats after the game by given them match bans for diving & rolling around like nancy boys the World Cup/Euro ain't worth watching. The idea is to play better football than the opp. "NOT LIKE THE NANCY BOYS FROM THE MED" Win by play acting. how can anywon hold up that cup in Victory they didn't win it by playing football. In my eyes Italy arn't the best football team in the world just part of the low life that make a joke of the game. They & the others might as well be in the WWF. :good: No more watching games that involve those teams that squeel like pigs from the littlest touch & dive if another player gets near him, for me.

il cacciatore Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I think they need to move with the times and introduce video playback to enable the ref to make decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Spookily, I've just bought a great T-shirt with a French cockerel on the front, ERIC in big print on the back and just below it a bloke doing a flying kung fu kick. Its brilliant P. i agree whole heartedly as regards the video ref P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I've often thought that the best way to show these people that a little tap on the ankle doesn't mean squealing like a stuck pig whilst performing 3 full rolls with a tuck to finish, would be taking them out on the rugby field. I am not saying putting someone small up against a big prop, but square them off like for like. Say, put someone of wilkinsons build up against him, then tell johnny to go tackle him. THEN they would know what a propper nock felt like. If some of these collisions were as hard as people made out, there wouldn't be any screaming or rolling about - they would be knocked out and motionless - much like on a rugby pitch. A rule change that would work is, if you go down and need treatment the game stops and a clock starts. You have to leave the field for the same time as you took to be treated. Or, if you go down and stop the game and you don't need to be subbed then you spend a minimum of 10 minutes in the "injury" bin. These stupid fancy-***** nancy boys wouldn't be going down like they'd been shot in the face with .243 then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 i work with a guy who plays at reasonable level of football. Some of the injuries he gets are horrendous. I know there is an awful lot of play acting at the top level, but further down its rough stuff still P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Oh aye, I was on about the world cup mostly but yep, I agree totally. Years ago I played in a 5-a-side leauge in Newcastle, I was in goal and I still got lumps kicked out of me (for those that don't know the goalie can't come out of his area and no outfield players can go in it - well, thats the rules anyway). Nothing to stop someone trying to nack your knee if they wanted to The worst thing here is the message that is being sent out to young players. They idolise people like zizi and all the rest of them. Conning refs going down holding things that didn't get hit, spitting on people and behaving like a bunch of spoilt nancy boys - FIFA should act, or this is how the next generations will think its done The sooner someone gets that fat ***** Swiss out of the hotseat the better, he's been nothing but a total goon since he took over.
