What do we think of this then lads ? Neymar was 'showboating' and then had his metatarsal broken by after several bad tackles and came of injured and in tears.

The comments from Strasbourg were 'Don't go blubbering when you get kicked'

I know Neymar can be a bit of prick and nobody likes to feel like they are having the piss taken out of them when they are playing, but I reckon this is bang out of order.

Basically saying that a skilful player is allowed to be injured by the oppo because he's too good.

I read it perfectly. Giggsy is basically saying that Juventus are a top class side and Arsenal aren’t.
Yeah, I got that but you made a tongue-in-cheek comment which started with ‘Had’ (speculative).
Guess the Rioja was flowing last night yeah?

The guy's a twat.
He got banged for being a showboating bell end.
He shouldn't wind people up.
How come a player can get booked for inciting fans, but not opposition players.

FFS listen to yourself! ... being incredibly skillful is incitement? ... should we stop people scoring goals next in case it upsets someone? <doh>

I don't pay my money to revel in the cloggers or the average ... if he's showboating get the ball from him ... but fairly <ok>

No, being unnecessarily ***gy is incitement.
He apparently has been playing passes off his back and arse and all sorts of silly ****, instead of getting on with his game.
He got banged up. Maybe he will grow from this.

... by "unnecessarily ***gy" I assume you mean doing things the average player couldn't possibly do? ... gonna disagree with you here - the players I have always loved are the ones capable of 'showboating' ... but it takes all sorts <cheers>
 
If Chavs don't win by three clear goals tonight, the wum gates of Hell will open, I'm afraid.

Obviously, I won't be wumming, but I suspect others will.

It's a sad indictment of this board, and one that I wish I could change.

If Spurs lose the tie the wum gates of Hell will open ... and hence your post buddy - preemptive strike - have you got the Savlon handy, just in case? <laugh>

Apparently one of the oppo players said about Neymar, something like ‘I respect him as a player but if he thinks we are here just so he can have fun on the pitch then sorry, no’.

Damn right, little **** bag needs to realise.

I don't disagree with that comment ... but there is hitting someone with a hard fair tackle rather than thugging them ... the former is fine with me - the latter not ...
