Sky sports interviewed a Brit living in Spain, asked him what he thought of Drogbas antics........

His reply - " I watch Barcelona doing exactly the same thing, week in and week out, in the Spanish League"

Just the modern game. Shame, but there it is. :roll:

Drogba annoyed the hell out of me rolling around and limping and then the next minute sprinting halfway across the pitch to score the winning goal.

That is what really p*sses me off about football. Faining injury and foul play to gain an advantage. Shoot them, snipers on the roofs of the terraces. If anyone plays up shoot them on the spot.

Back when I first started following football, I remember Gordon Durie getting reprimanded by the FA after feigning injury whilst playing for Spurs. What ever happened to proper punishments for "simulation" as it's known?

It is up to the refs to decide how to deal with it at the time. They frequently hand out cards when it was a dive to get a penalty or such. Perhaps when the antics are persistent and game long there could be some retrospective punishment, after all it does bring the game into disrepute.

Mind you, I wonder how you bring something when it is already there?

Can't support any team with John Terry in, come on Barca!

No body forced her to go with him. Takes two to have an affair.

He might be on about the Ferdinand thing

I was going on the generally being an arsehole thing. I know a few footballers and barring Lee Bowyer nobody is as universally hated as JT in the profession. General opinion is great captain but a complete twat.

It will be interesting to see, when they win the final, whether Terry will really lift the cup and take centre place amongst the team for the pics. Apparently he is entitled to even if he doesn't play.

Bad idea I reckon.

Wonder if he'll walk up for a losers medal if they get beaten, which i hope they don't as my son is a Chelsea fan.
I thought they looked better with him off the pitch and only 10 men.
Alas the man is a cock :roll:
