    Nonsense Walter was taken unlike many others you really need to do your research more. Try getting your information from reliable sources not Phil three names or Just James or any others if that ilk

    I quoted before your edit. I dint get my info from the sources you suggest. It's a fact that Smith didn't vote. Even Ally McCoist mentioned it last week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,661 ✭✭✭CalamariFritti


    Did Charlie Adam get a mention yet?

    He didn't vote because Ally said so. Well many others didn't vote not everyone believes it's the way to go. So who are you getting this from. Some Rangers forum

    Come to think about it I have never seen McCoist saying that about Smith and it's never been mentioned on any of the forums I use and not one Rangers fan I know has mentioned it to me. In fact I didn't see anything in the papers either which really surprises me


  • Registered Users Posts: 384 ✭✭osullic


    9 pages in and nobody has mentioned Tevez.

    I couldn't stand him even when he played for United and everything he's done subsequently has reaffirmed my initial opinion of him.


    I also really dislike mark kennedy.
    Could of been something and seems to have a serious chip on his shoulder.

    McCoist last week speaking about himself not voting said he wasn't the only one, someone else "close to his heart didn't" This was later confirmed as Smith

    Maybe Smith was duped by Green as you say. It's a bit of a coincidence though that he was duped, and yet benefited to the tune of a few hundred grand, penny shares, and just happened not to vote on Res. 11

    I wish every time I was duped I did as well out of it as smith has done out of this

    Who confirmed it that would have beeen in every Scottish paper. Hey McCoist made much more than Smith but that is not important as frankly I reckon it's nonsense so where are you getting this information from it's not the papers and not the bloggers

    Mine too. I don't mind if a player is a bit dirty but Brown was a sneaky, cowardly runt who, on several occasions, went out of his way to try and injure players.

    Exhibit A.



    Exhibit B.



    There were countless other similar incidents during his career but he was lucky in a sense that there wasn't a thousand cameras pointing at him during every game. A horrendous individual.

    And people are picking Jose Mourinho, Gerrard and Jamie Redknapp over him.

    Wtf


  • Posts: 2,799 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Massimo Moratti, Luciano Moggi. Both brought ill reputation to calcio, even if only one is punished, they both made the crimes.

    In fairness not as bad as Roy Kean

    Keane was undoubtedly a dirty player, but he was never a cowardly one or a sneaky one. He was also one of the best players of the PL era, unlike Brown who was a jobber.

    Really, being one of the best players excused this?

    John Terry

    Harry Kane

    Arsene Wenger

    Mourinho.

    Didn't say it excused it, merely that there was more to Keane's game than just going around kicking people.

    In bygone eras plenty of footballers made careers out of being 'enforcers' or whatever you want to call it, players with limited talent who progressed in the game due to their ability to intimidate and bend the rules of the game.

    Keane could fulfil that role if he so wished, but he could also outperform some of Europe's best when it came to the technical side of the game.

    Can't believe nobody has mentioned good oul' Harry reddnapp , what a spoofer ,always in the papers with storys of how HE could of signed a complete and utter bull****ter.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,631 ✭✭✭Dirty Dingus McGee


    In a lot of ways I really dislike Roy Keane.

    He's just an unbelievable hypocrite and never gets called out for it.

    Goes on about how much he committed in order to win and yet had a well publicized issues with drink which couldn't have helped his team.Got himself stupidly sent off on numerous occasions, throwing the toys out of the pram in Saipan. Slagged off the media and doing media work and yet is now a television pundit.

    I like Roy Keane overall but he's a really massive hypocrite he didn't always live up to the high standards he expects from everyone else yet talks at times like he had no flaws himself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,259 ✭✭✭HalloweenJack


    Harry Kane? Seriously? Unless you're a diehard Arsenal fan, I can't possibly see what anyone could have against him

    That didn't end his career as the title says.

    Tut tutted about others and cultivated the whole "dark, brooding, enigmatic" image. Yet if you fired enough money at him he'd dress up as a leprechaun to flog crisps.

    But his stint with O'Neill has done a lot to rehabilitate him for me anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,427 ✭✭✭✭Fr Tod Umptious


    Does Eamon Dunphy count ?

    Spoofer of the highest order.

    What's worse is that some people find his analysis better than what's available elsewhere.

    Yeah, but his 'pulling-a-Range-Rover-up-to-a-horde-of-journalists-whilst-simultaneously-dropping-the-window-and-sticking-his-elbow-out-the-window' routine is second to none.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,790 ✭✭✭Bret Hart


    Luis Suarez. From racism too intentionally,trying too break opponents legs. There's a long list as too why he's the person I least like in football.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,758 ✭✭✭Laois_Man


    Dunno why Dunphy gets singled out so much. Nearly all pundits are spoofers. He's absolutely right about the things he says about UK pundits.

    Suarez, Gerrard, Roy Keane, Terry are all good shouts

    Wegner is gas for all the wrong reasons

    Benitez

    Stan Collymore



    Alan Pardew is an annoying git


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,954 ✭✭✭garra


    Whiskey nose

    Seems unfair to be carded for mentioning a nick-name which is commonly applied to lots of older personalities in the game, which rule does this violate?

    If I was to respond to the thread "Scummy child molestor", would I also be carded even if I'm not referring to Adam Johnson?

    In terms of players if I dislike them it means they're doing something right. John Terry, Steven Gerrard, Patrick Vieira were all fantastic players but obviously with those rivalries I disliked them a lot at times.

    I used to really dislike Mark Hughes but I've got over it, although he still seems to be good at getting points off United.

    I detest that Guillem Balague they have on Sky Sports. Perhaps he's a nice guy off camera but I hate him.

    Mark Hughes, eh?

    Read the article and then read the Reddit post by m1ckjagger.

    For a thread like this obviously the likes of Lee Hughes and Marlon Kings amongst others are in a league of their own.

    For on the pitch stuff:

    Ben Thatcher - is it a yellow card offence to call him a scumbag? I'm not saying he isn't but all the evidence would suggest he is.
    Kevin Muscat - as mentioned and highlighted earlier
    Chris Morgan - a thug, another Warnock player too, like Brown. He broke a kid's skull with his elbow a few years back, it wasn't even in an aerial challenge
    John Fashanu - look at Gary Mabbutt's face. A nothing player with a huge ego, look at that show Fash FC from back in the day


    For punditry:

    BT Sport seem to be collecting a right group of annoying pundits - Owen, McManaman and Savage to name but a few.
    Thierry Henry - just does not seem to care, he refused to pick a team in one the World Cup games at the last World Cup because he "had friends in both sides"
    Alan Smith and Ray Houghton are both incredibly depressing to listen to.

  • Not sure if mentioned but Lewandowski is one of the biggest cheats in the game.
    A class forward but ruins it with his feigning of injury and diving.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Nailz


    John Terry, Ryan Giggs, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, Michael Brown, et al. are all good shouts, but surely the one of the most detestable people in football has to be Eddie Heath.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,954 ✭✭✭garra


    Gary Neville is a vile little coward. Always had someone sorting out the big boys for him, yet would jeer his opponents from a safe distance. We all know this type of creep who would shout at you from a passing car but then run a mile if they saw you coming and didn't have backup. I credit him for at least trying to manage a club, and for having the sense to stick to the easier job of analysis for barstoolers.

    But do you like or hate him?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Roddy Collins, just because, and Joey Barton. Don't have much love for Stephen Ireland either.
    Ronaldo...and nothing anyone can say can convince me otherwise!

    Which one. Fat Ronaldo or Perma Tanned twat Ronaldo?

    Cantona. 'Poet & philosopher' me b*ll*x....

    You can add Ronnie Whelan to that list. RTE's version of Robbie Savage. They both give "irritating" a bad name.

    Think we can now add Kelvin MacKenzie to this now as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Always disliked Jody Morris. Seemed to be the kind to go out and try to injure players and there was plenty of nasty stuff off the pitch.

    Lee Bowyer too, but everyone hated him. He seemed to be the sort of bloke who'd be outside a ground trying to pick off unsuspecting rival supporters if he wasn't a player.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,184 ✭✭✭Gavlor


    Does the entire liverpool fan base count?!!

    If not then it has to be Eamonn Dunphy. He's just a horrible, bitter old man who's comments are typical of lazy red top journalism.

    Are you talking about actual Liverpudlians here or Irish 'Scousers'? Because there's no difference between a United or Liverpool fan in Ireland. They're one and the same. Come from same towns, offices and families.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,977 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Has to be Kevin Muscat, currently coaching the Melbourne Victory in the A-league.

    If you don't like horrible tackles then please don't watch this montage of them.
