    Like I said, I think he's clumsy and slow. He's a poor player really.

    I think to be classed as a thug you have regularly mean to injure your opponent. I wouldn't call Taylor a thug with that in mind.

    To be fair, instinct when seeing your own team mate hit the deck probably made him appeal.

    Oh that Reading team.

    That lanky ginger prick that played up front would regularly leave his studs in. Can't remember his name now.

    Dave Kitson? Allegedly he's the Secret Footballer or at least one part of it.

    Dirty ginger ****bag who fouled people all over the place and whined like a bitch?
    Are you sure you're not confusing him with Paul Scholes?

    Played for Arsenal (sort of) and Chelsea. Filth. <ok>
    He's back now, too. Signed an extra year with Brighton after they came up.
    Maybe Super Chrissy Hughton's managed to take some of the stink off him? Probably not, though.

    Mackay wasn't a dirty player. Hard yes. But you didn't take any liberties with him, as poor old Billy found out! <laugh>

    Good website that. Worth noting the card to minute ratio for yellows. Clattermole leads the way. Of course that's just the refs booking on reputation...honest guv.

    Having said that I don't think carding can be used solely as a vehicle for determining filthiness. Some are pretty sly about it and get away with loads.

    El Hadji Diouf is pure scum. Just a disgusting human being. Filthy, scummy, he is pretty much the full package if you want to hate someone.

    Cattermole has gotta be the worst, he's a dreadful footballer too.

    One i haven't seen mentioned yet though is Dennis Wise. He was horrible.

    Dennis Wise was a truly awful player plus a little coward.

    Makes me laugh how many people on here say that players are rubbish. How many of you have played top level football?
