Gabriel Heinze doesnt pull out of too many tackles.

please dont compare that judas c**t to a hardman. in my opinion, he dived into too many tackles, needlessly. made him looked hard, but that he wasnt or isnt. just a bad tackler. vidic and evra are hard c**ts. shame rio aint, john terry is another man who would go through a brick wall for you.

The man is a committed all action hard c**t of a midfielder
never, ever pulls out of a tackle, and looks on the verge of
pure evil sometimes when he plays, good passer of the the ball too

can't be as bad Stephen Parkhouse surely, i f**king hate that guy :mad:

unlike most of the pussies like Vidic mentioned in this thread, anyone who has witnessed Alan Reynolds in 'action' knows what a serious c**t is

great player though, when he's not killing the opposition

Fabricio Coloccini is a bit of a nutter as well, and jaysus how could I forget Marco Materazzi. Two loose cannons of the highest order.

Boy did Marco not like Shevchenko

Jesus, didnt realise Materazzi was such a f*cking nut......

Obviously Diego Lugano.

The thing about Vidic is apparently he's an upper class Serb.

Why would that make a difference? Brian McBride and Scott Parker are hardly "working class" and they are both hard as nails.

estebancambias

I think it would, generally people from 'harder' areas will be tougher.

Peyton Manning

Where youre from has no bearing on how tough you are.

estebancambias

You're right in the actual true context of the word, but from a footballing aspect(and sport in general) most of the hard guys will be from poor areas.

Obviously fighting for your life after a car accident, and surviving is tough and has no connection to your social status.

materrazi was just a dirty **** imo, although i have warmed a little after seeing those clips, i hadnt seen the one on inzaghi before, lol even though his own international teammates he was a vicious prick! i do like the numerous assaults on sheva tbh

Lads, keep the abuse out. From here on in, anyone using this thread to slag off players gets a 1 month ban.

No problem with saying someone is a hard as nails c*nt, as I'm assuming its a good thing, but "scumbag", thug, "judas c*nt* etc arent really the point of the thread.

lmao, marco is quite the nutter it appears.

Look at his top 5 bad tackles

The tackle on lentini looked more painful than the car crash he was in

LoneGunM@n

Feck Marco is a complete nutter ... you can hardly call him a footballer ... he never seems to get anywhere near the ball, except Shevas of course

stooge

my definition of a 'hard' player would be one I wouldnt like to play against and go into a 50-50 tackle with. however, that doesnt include dirty feckers like essien/gerrard/m.brown etc who are hard but would jump 2-footed into that 50-50.

it does include roy keane/tony adams/dennis wise/paolo montero/mark hughes all players who would more than likely win the ball, break me in two and do it all cleanly without commiting a foul.

Currently in the premiership I'd say scott parker deserves a mention, tim cahill is very tough for his size, toure is quite hard, terry I wouldnt mess with but lately he has been getting a bit dirty for my liking. Carragher is tough too, as is yer man that plays centre half for blackburn (ryan nelson is it?).

Back in the days, Billy Bremner/Johnny Giles/ Souness/Moran/Mackay/Billy McNeill and most of the Uruguay players pre 1970 would be classed as hard.

That one on Benni McCarthy beside the corner flag :eek:

FFS!

OP says Scott Parker, WTF He blocked a few free kicks, thats the least you would expect!

Whatever happened to the 'non nonsense' type of player like Mick Harford who used to play for Wimbledon

let me get this right psi. You make up a rule on the spot about not calling players names, and ban jazzy for slagging a player off before the rule was even made? What sense does that make?

And what is wrong with calling a player a name? If I called Hitler a scumbag am I breaking ethical guidelines? I dont see why calling a random famous person/footballer a name merits a ban. Its not like its insulting anyone in this forum.

Michael Essien's pretty hard - nickname "The bison"

dc69

Alan smith
Bellamy
Gerrard
Essian
Terry(Bravest)
Marco materatzi,he is just a scumbag


No 1 wannabe hardman

Ashley cole,thinks he is hard,what a laugh

Zaph

There are no hardmen in football these days. There are some guys who are less wimpy than the norm, but put them up against the likes of Norman Hunter, Ron Harris, Tommy Smith, Peter Storey or Dave Mackay and they'll go home crying to their mammies. Stuart Pearce is the last true hard man in English football, IMO.

Oh no, Keane would never do what Essien/Gerrard/Brown did. Remember the Ireland game in Lansdowne against Russia (I think) where he was sent off in the last minute? Remember Alf Inge Haaland?

He's also the toughest tackler in the league.

For the older eircom league heads , what about Tom McNutly.

oobydooby

What about (our own?) Ray Houghton? He could take it and dish it out on the pitch and I remember a story about him nutting some guy who had nicked a purse off a little old lady, and possibly making off with the purse himself... (although the last part is potentially untrue)

Aye the Finn Harps and Dundalk lads will remember him as will the Cork City lads He was a right hard man. Let himself down bigtime when he finished his LOI career by getting a ten year ban for hitting a referee (I think!) whilst player managing for mediocre MDL side Rock Celtic. Since commuted though I think as he is back involved and it is no where near 10 years since his ban.
