But hey, if you want to pretend it's all about '86, have at it. You will be finding it hard to praise a lot of great players then. Cos loads of them are pillocks, loads. No one is going to fawn over Suarez in the UK, they will over the likes of Gascoigne though. He destroyed both Scotland and Hibs in my time but I can still say he was a brilliant player even though he is a complete arsehole. What would the game be without these kind of characters?

RE: Breaking News - Ska'dForLife-WBA - 27-11-2020 Oh, Gazza was (and probably still is) a weapons-grade plank. No argument there. Doesn't stop me praising his footballing talent - as well as slagging off his bad side - any more than Maradona's idiocy has stopped me praising his. And I'm happy to leave it there, because I'm not really interested in arguing the toss over it forever. RE: Breaking News - wba13 - 27-11-2020 I would like to know how Maradona is revered as a genius, for me he never will be, he cheated he took drugs he was supposedly looked after by the mafia. but I hate cheats Suarez is the same. This is my opinion I won’t get into any arguments over this but I was never a fan for all we know he could have been on them drugs virtually is whole career.

Ok - forget the cocaine and controversy for a couple of minutes. Go on you tube and fire up maradonas top 50 amazing skill moves and tell me that he wasn't a player of immense ability. He had the most incredible feet and balance I've seen in a player, matched with great natural skill and upper body strength. He's right alongside pele,best,cruyff etc in my book.

But I’m sorry never liked cheats and drug addicts as good a player as he was he is tainted . As I said that’s my opinion.(27-11-2020, 00:58)wba13 Wrote: I would like to know how Maradona is revered as a genius, for me he never will be, he cheated he took drugs he was supposedly looked after by the mafia. but I hate cheats Suarez is the same.

RE: Breaking News - BaggieSteve - 27-11-2020 I get the resentment at Maradona's 'Hand of God' goal but, if we're honest, he wasn't the first to blatantly cheat and he certainly won't be the last - some of us old Baggies may well remember Bomber Brown punching an equaliser into the Wolves net at Molineux ( at which we all expressed our delight) and Thierry Henry doing something similar for France against Ireland. I guess we all agree on the fact that he was an astonishingly brilliant footballer, his skill and strength were off the scale. For me he was unique...but then I saw Hal Robson-Kanu. RE: Breaking News - hibeejim21 - 27-11-2020 I don't get the 'drug addict' thing either.... What was George Best if not a drug addict ? Anyway - I heard Lineker talking on the radio about him and waddle watching Diego warm up once when he was doing these 30 yard mad keepy uppys from a standing position, and they tried it later and waddle could only manage 2 and waddle was no slouch at ball skills. Fair play to Lineker, he gave Diego his due. He's actually posted one of his warm ups on his twitter feed. Absolutely amazing - have a look! RE: Breaking News - Arcane Astral Aeons - 27-11-2020 i did post at the start of this thread i didnt like her music but having listened to the true blue album she wasnt that bad loved also the like a prayer video oh hang on oh the football player maradona? been on me own for almost 9 months loosing it a little not that i have had much to lose who started this thread? idiot back to star trek i will go thats star wars ya numpty ass dumb you are RE: Breaking News - wba13 - 27-11-2020 (27-11-2020, 18:05)hibeejim21 Wrote: I don't get the 'drug addict' thing either.... What was George Best if not a drug addict ? George best was a alcoholic not drugs, and he never got banned from football Maradona. As I’ve said he was a great player but some of the things he has done were pretty awful. That picture of him going into the camera with the look of a man possessed was enough for me anyhow may he rest in peace and I will say no more on him. |
