Asprilla 96 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 (edited) Twattish behaviour? Showing disappointment at England playing like crap and for being prevented from doing anything more about it? I wish our players behaved like 'twats' more often. You don't half talk some shit at times Renton. 151417[/snapback] He acted like a petulant child. For God's sake, he's supposed to be a grown up. If I went round kicking desks everytime something went wrong for me at work, what do you think people would say? This is the perfect illustration how people think that it is acceptable for footballers to behave below the normal levels of common decency. I may talk shit at times, but I find you highlighting that particualr sentence astounding. 151421[/snapback] If you screamed "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!! FUCKING GET IIIIIIIIIIIN!!!" and ran to the corner of the room and did a robot dance every time something went right at work, I suspect your colleagues would have something to say too. Are you getting how being a professional footballer and being a medical writer doesn't really bear comparison? It's nothing to do with common decency and everything to do with things being taken in context - he was annoyed and he showed it with a petulant strop. It looked a bit silly, but I wouldn't have said it was outside of the realms of decency or anything. 151426[/snapback] A ridiculously well made point Edited June 21, 2006 by Asprilla's foreskin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course players are going to celebrate when scoring a goal, it's part of the emotion and has entertainment value. However, only certain players act like twats when subbed. He was playing shite, it was for the teams benefit and his he was subbed. He acted like a twat, showing no resppect for the other subs or his manager. If you disagree then fine, I take it you're happy if every player acts like a primadonna when they are subbed from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17814 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 In fact, should Owen be ruled out for 6 months, that would more or less pay for Malbranque, especially if it's true that fat Carr could be used in part-ex. 151430[/snapback] I'm unsure of your point. We are much less likely to get Malbranque, as we now need another striker to replace Owen and still have to pay Owen's wages. If Carr goes we will need another RB too.

You can't expect them to be full of good emotions when they score and then emotionless robots when things don't go so well. Yes, I've conceded he looked a bit daft, but I could understand his frustrations - he's come back from injury and knows he's better than he's currently capable of playing, and it must be incredibly frustrating. He let it show and I don't think that's a crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure this is one reason Ferguson kicked up such a fuss about Rooney. 151444[/snapback] The thing is why I am not sure is because there seems to be very little money in the fund, so that it would hardly cover the wages of any top player in a European league. Especially not the wages Newcastle throw at players. So it might either be a kind of insurance thing or FIFA only paying compensation based on what a player in the 3rd Trinidadian league earns. And thinking of how greedy FIFA are and normally don't want to give a penny to clubs I rather think it might be a case of the latter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Luque's going to have to stay now and we NEED two additional decent centre forwards. The hole that Shearer left just got a hell of a lot bigger. Regarding Rooney; at least one England player looked like he wanted to be out there.

Craig 6307 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 The way he went down was very reminiscant of how Shearer collapsed when he did his cruciate ligaments when he was at Blackburn.

Dr Gloom 19828 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 This sounds obvious, but we have been desperatley unlucky with Owen.

Sign one of Europe's top strikers, he cattles his knee and is never the same player again. The curse of NUFC strikes again. 151439[/snapback] that's my biggest worry. shearer was never the same player for us after he did his knee ligaments. he lost a good yard of pace and had to change his game completely. it'll be a shame - and just our luck - if the same happens to owen as a result of this.
