Wasn't really on about his celebrations. Was more to do with snorting **** loads of coke in his VIP lounge, acting like a complete twat and being racist. But hey, he's a character so bash on Diego.

What did he do that was racist? Or are we just throwing words like that around to score points?

He was also a joy to watch and was blessed with football genius the like of which England has never produced. Or Scotland for that matter.

Northern Ireland could maybe lay a claim to something comparable.

King Kenny a better man all round.

Regardless of the cheating low life ****'s ability he was/is a bellend

You started with the strange offended sarcasm.

So are you now saying alcohol abuse is OK but cocaine is wrong? I'm confused AND offended

No you're not.
You are just continuing as before by deliberately taking words out of context and making a sound bite because you don't have a proper response. Do you not understand the words combined or combination? I think you do, you just choose to ignore what doesn't fit with your hero worship.

No hero worship, I just have a different opinion to you. Sorry if that offends.

A thread about a Legend giving the bird at a football match ?

No. It was to do with his cocaine snorting sessions in his wee luxury VIP lounge. Out his face making an absolute tit of himself. Obviously some posters on here think that's big and makes him interesting. Also the Racist gestures directed at a group of fans. Could you imagine the meltdown some folk would be having if that was Gazza in an England shirt firing coke up his beak and downing whiskey, making racist gestures towards supporters? Place would be in uproar.

How did England cheat exactly? The disputed goal was given by the officials and they scored another one anyway so no cheating involved there at all not like a certain Argentinian goal. If they had used VAR in 1966 and it had gone against England then they would have won 3 - 2 instead of 4 - 2. If they had VAR at the undisputed Maradonna handball goal then it would have been disallowed and he would have been carded and maybe changed the result, who knows.

This thread is descending into fantasy. Scotland in the knockout stage?

It's much worse than you think NSF, Scotland at the World Cup Finals?

Indeed. I like a bit of surreal fiction, but these things can be taken too far.

Argentina goal disallowed - changed course of game

England goal disallowed - disnae matter, we scored another on a breakaway

Sound logic that

Score points? Are we playing a game?

He made a racist gesture towards a group of young South Koreans. I'll let you guess what he did since you think we're playing for points...

Don't do the meek bit it doesn't suit you and it doesn't work. I'm not offended by your opinion, maybe annoyed at how you express it and refuse to acknowledge that anyone else can have an opinion. The opinions on here are roughly divided into three camps. One says he's a great footballer and that absolves him from criticism. One says he's a great footballer but severely deficient as a person. The third one says he's a great footballer who abused his talent through his lifestyle and his cheating. That's three opinions and there may be one or more that I missed but they all have a sponsor so they are valid opinions. They can all be challenged of course which is why we are on here. None of these opinions are fact or gospel - they are just opinions. So believe whichever one you want and defend it if you wish. On this website their are thousands of opinions which I think are tosh - but that's just my opinion.

Love the guy to bits. Mental - yes, obnoxious - yes, disrespectful - yes! But a wonderful footballer who has led a most extraordinary life and at the age of 25 achieved his life's goal - winning the 1986 world cup. I love his passion for his country and for his team. Feel lucky that I grew up to love Football while watching him in his prime. He has more flaws than most I guess - but who cares! Not me.

Don’t know about raspiest but I’m pretty sure he shouted ‘Puto’ when he was giving the bird which is Spanish for faggot or fag, so not very PC.

Why?

It's a bit crap, it's a candidate for the Holy Ground, the whole episode is debased in relevance because of the state the guy is now in - very like anything Gascoigne does - and frankly while I do think both that he's the greatest player in my book and that his behaviour is clearly wrong and unacceptable, I also find the media's prurient obsession with his decline pretty distasteful and largely an irrelevance that's best ignored.

I would agree totally with this. Maradona was an extraordinary gifted player just surpassed in my opinion by both Messi and Ronaldo as the best ever attacking player ever seen.

Its quite refreshing to see his passion for his country in all sports not just football and he is rightly revered by most of the football world.

The English you can quite understand have never quite felt comfortable with his genius as they have been completely owned for 30 odd years by both the cheated goal,the wonder goal and the Hand of God quote.

They have every right to be bitter but they are in an absolute minority in world football and a country of very little international football significance despite having such a vibrant and exciting domestic league.
