Premier League silence for a player we nearly bought for our record transfer fee

[I should coco]

Difficult this one, but I think some of you may sense which way I'm leaning.....

 

[Bath Blade]

Without question one of the best players the world has ever seen, but a minute’s fucking silence to reflect on the fact his drug-addled life was cut short, really?

 

[Houston_Blade]

I don’t see why we’d have a minutes silence for him. I wouldn’t boo though.

 

[Carlton Blade]

All the players should do a line and shoot at some journalists

 

[8lade]

I'll never forgive him for getting Rex Findley sent off (if you know you know).

 

[knowsnowt]

Fuck him the fat tit.

 

[Billyblade]

Does it mean we can stop taking the fucking knee now it's been done so long its diluted the message that much its beyond watter?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Since the grounds are empty he gets 90 minutes silence.

 

[Flumps]

Great footballer ruined massively by the cunt that it was trapped in. Argentines can have a minute silence, I can't honestly see why anyone else would?

 

[XM657]

Why no "disagree with minute silence", after all he had no connection with English league football.
FA crawling to keep in the swim. Degenerates.

How many have we won since ‘taking a knee’ started?!

Let's have a silence for Shilton being unable to jump more than 2 inches from the floor and getting beaten to the punch by a midget. I don't have an issue with the silence for what I feel is the best player ever.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Anyone that appreciates football, and one of it’s most precious and fabled exponents, will doff a cap one way or another.

For all his demons off the pitch, he was and is a joy to behold with a ball at his feet.

When all is said and done, in that context, perhaps that is all that matters.

Not how he lived. But how he made millions, and I do mean millions, of others feel.

Few are blessed with that legacy.

Rest up you Argie rascal .

I dunno who it is but whoever woefully shanks the ball back towards his own goal in the first place doesn’t get half the criticism he deserves.

From what I’ve seen of it, it’s a pretty avoidable goal from an England point of view.

Pitch was like Concord Park on a cold winters day any given Sunday in the 70s apparently !!!

Half of you would boo.

Your parents will be sooooooo proud .

I'm more of a europhile in footballing terms and hold Cruyff up as the (as young uns would say) GOAT

Cruyff was no doubt a legend...he had a move named after him which says it all

 

[essexblade73]

Peter Reid is still looking for Diego in midfield after getting turned for his 2nd goal

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Most England supporters of my generation don’t have a very high opinion of him (I’m being very diplomatic) regardless of what some of them may say in public.

No token mark of respect for me thanks.

 

[tincan]

Greatest player i have ever seen, greatest world cup goal ever, born in a Argie shanty town as 1 of 7 - now he has a Church of Maradona! And for an extra £60k we could have had him and not gone to the 4th division. The Best.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Sum him up as a great player but sum him up much more as a “CHEAT”

 

[metalblade]

No respect for cheats even extremely talented ones.

 

[Bla blade]

Don't have a strong opinion but suppose on balance respect for the footballing talent.... if little else about the guy.

Perhaps the players could gather round the middle and combine taking the knee with a Robbie Fowler style inhalation of the centre circle in homage.

Agree 100%
It’s devalued as it is, it used to be a big thing now it’s not.
In Naples and Argentina ok.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

In certain circles I have a move named after me too..

 

[originaltrueblade]

Everyone should hold their hand above their head for a minute indicating he is a cheat and what he did was cheating..not forgotten..not forgiven

 

[Berkshire Blade]

I've not spoken out loud for 23 years as I have a minutes silence for anyone I have ever heard of dying.
