PompeyVillan Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 SSN are now reporting how Terry Butcher said he wouldnt shake Maradona's hand before Scotland's game against Argentina. Would you? I cant help but resent the little cheating word removed (marvelous player and all that, but meeeeh!), but I wouldnt give him the satisfaction of showing bad sportsmanship like he did, and prove that I was better than him. I'd shake his hand without an ounce of emotion on my face... in an ideal world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 was going to vote no, but voted yes - as I would be above pettiness, even if he is a drug abusing cheating word removed who I really don't like very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarry Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'd shake his hand. And I think it's Scots or Scottish, not Scotch - that's a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World_Domination Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 No, was thinking the other day how I dislike his attitude to life and how others treat him as a god becuase of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 No, I can't think of one single reason why I would even consider shaking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted November 18, 2008 Moderator Share Posted November 18, 2008 Best player or not (personally I probably agree - certainly best I've seen) I still wouldn't want to shake hands with the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 OK I now officially want to change my vote. I have just heard him quoted on WM and he allegedly said: "My treatment is unfair - England won the World Cup in 1966 with the help of a goal that was not proved to be over the line" So - he is comparing a fairly struck shot that hit the underside of the bar and bounced down, to a blatant piece of cheating by punching a looping ball into the net.

lapal_fan Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 if the shoe were on the other foot, would you care if we cheated to win a world cup (linesman?) he's the most talented football player ever to grace the game, like other football genius's (gazza, stan (lol)) he's had problems with drugs etc etc so whats with all the stupid negativity? we all love george best and he was a raging alcoholic throughout his life, big deal, he did what he had to do to win a world cup for his country i'd have done the same. And they probably would have beaten us anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But none of them were CHEATS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
