    I am with VG, I cannot stand the sight of the fat, sweaty, coke sniffing, cheating bastard.

    When the Argies finally get beat I hope the entire stadium stand and face the box he is in and give him the double finger back.
  • I think it’s healthy to have ‘hate’ characters. Blandness is boringly mundane and Maradona is a fantastic baddie,a talented but evil genius.

    He’s a joke figure these days and I’ve no real hate for him. Actually laughed when he was giving the finger, it’s fun seeing people non-conform and play up occasionally

    The BBC wankfest over him is what grated on me. every ten mins, the camera would pan on him.
    And our commentators would go into meltdown on how great he is.

    Looks like a bit of a lightweight after last night.
    That’s ok, once he’s shared his shovel about and bought a couple of rounds I’ll throw him to the English contingent

    Can't believe someone doesn't understand "He's one of our own" in the international context, as opposed to club context.

    This, was so clear ' one of our own ' with reference to Gazza is because he is English and also much loved

    As for Maradona, despise the person. Before my era so maybe i dont know how good he was but looks to me Messi/ Ronaldo would blow him out the water. Maradona did perform in the world cup where they have failed but club level the others have smashed him imo.

    Still wouldn't wish anything on him.

    Ronaldo was better than both Messi and Cristiano

    If this were Gazza the sentiments would all be "how sad, battling his demons, hope he pulls through".

    But it's not, and he did the hand of God thing, so let's all laugh. Ha ha ha. Let's revel in a clearly ill man's problems. Hilarious.

    Have I got that right?

    The Hand of God ‘thing’ was only the most famous bit of cheating against our country in our sporting history near enough.

    Like others I am just not commenting on the illness - but he is a fecking fat cheating prick of a person
    The only thing Scotland have to cheer about in the last 35 years of international football.

    Anyway this was simply a PR stunt.
    He was seen by a doctor - note, at half time - for a neck pain.
    Some might say a minor cocaine based whiplash injury.

    He was then quoted as being told to 'go home'. Yeah right, that's the medical response every time, not, 'go and get it checked out at the local Russian A+E'.

    Then he lets people know his reply is;
    ''Goodness me, I couldn't do that because my beloved team is playing and I couldn't possibly leave even at the risk of my own health - THAT'S how much I love my country.'' (or words to that effect via a PR spinner)

    Too many bleeding heart liberals projecting their concern onto someone who, in the greater scheme of things, clearly doesn't deserve it.

    Cynical self aggrandisement, as usual.

    Snorty tosser and disgraceful role model for the 'working classes' (TM) of Argentina.

    The live match feed is universal. They can edit for highlights and post match analysis.

    Nope.

    I’ve little sympathy for either of them. Or George Best for that matter.

    This anyone that has a transplant and continues to drink is a bit of a twat, although I fucking love gazza but that’s cos he’s one of our own.
    "One of our own" - do you mean he's English?
    Well as far as I’m aware he has never played for Charlton. So yes because he is English, any chance we can not turn this into a row already had enough this morning because of some on morning tv saying the st George’s Cross should be banned.

    You do have form for being a bit of a Wolly around any partiotic comments so if you could avoid that then that would be v handy.

    Cheers

    Did Gazza play for us in a charity game once.
    Possibly but the poster asking has form so it’s likely an attempt to make me look like some sort of edl nutjob, how dare you be proud to be English.
    Ha, brilliant!

    I'm actually very patriotic, although I would imagine that word means very different things to you and I but I would love to see some examples of my "form".

    For the record, as a Rangers supporter, I love Gazza although he's clearly a very troubled man. He and Maradona suffer from similar demons that have manifested themselves in similar ways. They carry the weight of the working class, which in Argentina especially, must be very heavy. Not excuse for acting like a twat though.
    Not getting into tit for tat cba, why did you question what I meant by he’s one of his own?
    I've only really heard that term refer to someone who's come through a clubs youth academy, seemed a bit of stretch to claim anyone and everyone from the entire populace of England as "one of our own".
    turn it in

  • My opinion on this is that I don't really like Gazza and got no opinion on Maradona from a playing point of view as he was end of his career. On the point of comparing the two, it is interesting that people seem to let Gazza off for more than others, like Collymore will get called a "wife beater" by the same people who idolise Gazza, however that's life, lets be honest we've all hypocritical at some point or if not then you're way better than me. On the subject of their antics, both of them are hilarious, whether under the influence or not. Can anyone honestly say they never laughed or even cracked a smile when the camera's zoomed into Maradona and he's giving the MR Bean to the lower tier. People just need to chill out a bit more and stop being so argumentative and offended all the time.

    No one wants him dead. We want him to live but with lots of pain and suffering.
    Can’t believe some of the comments on here. And people are actually laughing along with them. Pathetic.

    I think the Collymore comparison is warped in the way that he is way more ‘visible’ than Gazza in the media and is also very forthright in pushing his own agenda.

    It therefore seems understandable to me that he consequently seems to get more ‘abuse’ than Gazza.
