“I didnt call Barcelona disgusting”

“BUT you are very conveniently forgetting the disgusting play acting of Barcelona”

Very inconsistent to me at least on 1st read, Thats bringing the whole club into it b4 you list 2 players.

” but I think that it is very very difficult to judge who has made a genuine attpt to win a tackle and who has gone in with malice.”

No, Not really.

By that logic it can be similarly argued, players like Alves/DiMaria/Nani or others who go down easily and whine have a lower physical pain threshold,
ya sure sounds silly but not entirely stupid and on par with the assertion that its difficult to judge if a tackle is dangerous.

If its dangerous its dangerous,
going for the ball doesn’t necessarily matter,
this isn’t 1960′s where the now “self-proclaimed we are so tough english” were butchered constantly by teams from a culture which were even more brutal (South American teams).

Times have changed mentalities need to as well.

Besides i am for retrospective punishment being introduced in Football, so a committee in a league looks the matches after each match days and gives score/de-marks the players/clubs for unsporting behavior, etc
and then later on(on accumulation) or immediately get fined like shit crazy in $$ and in matches.

I didnt call Barcelona disgusting, I called the behavious of some of their players disgusting – I am a Chelsea fan and I find Drogba’s behavious disgusting, I find Nani and Ronaldo disgusting, and I think it is a horrible disease spreading through football. Horrendous leg breaking tackles are more damaging and I would agree it is MORE important to get rid of these so thank you for raising this, but I think that it is very very difficult to judge who has made a genuine attpt to win a tackle and who has gone in with malice. If it can be proven that a [player has had the intention to cause harm then I think that they should receive long bans as with cheating – and it should all be post game, as the ref has no chance to judge accurately during a game.

As for going off topic which i have done again, that is the beauty of discussing football, that everything is interlinked and you do not know where the debate will go…. in my opinion of course :-)

Good point. l think some people just like to believe the worst of people. When people ignore the 5-0 at the Camp Nou, or the 2-2 at the Emirates but choose to define Barcelona by the Madrid classicos this season, its hard to get across objectively.

[...] continued in the Rhein-Neckar-Arena on Sunday even after Barcelona had already had their say on how the game should be played. In a repeat of the World Cup 3rdplace [...]

So can i call ManU a team which is disgusting and an embarrassment to football because Roone yin the past has gone down too easily in the D and Nani goes down even before the contact seems to be made and in the past CR7….???

And can i call Barca is greatest proponents of fair play and a team which never fakes stuff because “Messi Never Dives” (youtube this)????

Stop generalizing and stick to the players AND the particular match in question.

ohhh “The Most Disgusting” is also subjective, I personally find excessively hard tackling which is prone to breaking legs more disgusting than going down easily or trying to influence the Ref.

Bottom line: Main some perspective and stop generalizing.

Rooney’s goal was clear Offside mate.

Had it been a Barca goal, all hell would have let loose in the British press.
But this goes i guess.

I actually gave Rooney a 6 but forget to edit it. So I’ve edited it to reflect it.

Thought he was United’s best player by a country mile.
