Savage and Roberts could not be more wrong on show boating debate.

[Guy Fawkes]

Surely these players are professional footballers who have to set an example to all players and fans, whatever division or level they play at and for people to say that someone deserves to be hit or kicked for doing something that isn't against any of the laws of the game, (especially if they were top flight players kicking out whose actions are seen by a very large audience) is truely shocking. There is no excuse in breaking the rules of the game just because an opponent was showboating.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Managers expect teams to show far too much "respect for our opponents". I'd prefer it if managers told their players that the opposition is rubbish. "Go out there and take the piss". Football would be more entertaining. And the Albion would win more matches.

that's the spirit

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Crikey you remind me off my old man too!!! well you will have to revert to The Positive player thread to know what i am talking about

He would say the same thing-ps hello dad

Obviously me and your dad are from the same era.......probably best mates at school

He's good at heart -perhaps you were

 

[Triggaaar]

I was gutted & i was utterly convinced he went for it-despite what he may say i still am

So he admits it was meant to be a cross, and you disagree with him? Do you think Maradona beat Shilton with his head?

People will play up or down a thing to suit-Shilton was beaten by a hand-

Were?

Indeed, but it would never suit a player to admit something was lucky if it was in fact great skill. If he's admitted it was a fluke (and I don't know that he has), then that's basically proof.

Who was he playing for at the time when he scored the goal? PSG ahead of a big move to Barcalona- perhaps it was time to play things down and secure a move-i don;t know either.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

I meant that as-he is good at heart-perhaps you were good friends not perhaps you were good at heart and are now not,if that's what i thought you thought i meant-

Crikey i've lost the plot

It's all a bit much for a Sunday evening isn't it. Time to watch the Mosconi cup.

If someone on the opposition did that playing against me, they'd find themselves in row Z......but then I am pretty old school, and angry.

I may go and lie down for a few moments-breathe in -exhale,breathe in - exhale

I agree with the OP.

It wasn't as if the showboating got to this level. Steve Foster didn't look too happy at the end.


Edit: It's Luton before anybody gets too upset.

well what annoys me most of all about that is they are taking the piss-but in my book feel free to take the piss,but expect to be made to work very very hard to earn that right i would tell the players to find their own way home after that-lose be humiliated by a scoreline but never stop trying

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Was funny tho!!

 

[1066familyman]

If the other team have the time and where with all to showboat then the players that are being 'offended' by it need to take a long look at themselves I reckon. Clatter them if you like, but expect to be punished for that as well. If you give up in a game you deserve to have the piss taken out of you.

As North Stand Nutter is off-line at the moment I hope he doesn't mind me taking a guess at Lena Headey?
