How Long Are We Going To Be Beaten To Death With The Argy Cheat?

[ToraToraTora]

All over the TV news, for gawd sake he was an ok player that is most famous for cheating.

[Bobbisox1]

It's as if he's been held in high esteem by Lineker and co for ....being a cheat and taking drugs???
Err right -O

[emmie]

i don't think many will share your views TTT. Personally i am sorry he died so relatively young.

TTT//he was an ok player//
Apart from Pele, can you name one player who was a better footballer than Maradonna?

[steg]

//most famous for cheating.//

Most people of the world outside englandshire, dinae care about his hand ball and just relish in his magical skill as a football player

[Bobbisox1]

Let's make it clear though, I am truly sorry about him passing away,news of anyone's death is always sad

[ToraToraTora]

Danny, Pele, both Ronaldos, Gordon Banks, Zidan, Figo, Bale, Bobby Moore, Rivelino, Zico, Baggio........ shall I go on?

[iluvmargie]

Three days of mourning for a footballer - really??

[bhg481]

I must admit the only thing I remember him for is the "Hand of God" incident. I think if you did a survey in England asking "Who was Maradonna?" most people would refer to "Hand of God".

[emmie]

to the Argentinians he was a God...

[douglas9401]

Oh what a circus.

[dannyk13]

TTT // shall I go on?//
Yes, straight to the jokes section.Maradonna is recognised, by those who are better placed than you to make an assessment, as the best footballer of all time.

[rowanwitch]

Better than Maradona, Ronaldo, Neymar maybe, many more with better skills in aspects of their game, Messi of course. Like many whose star shone too bright he burned out just as fast. Not saddened by his passing, sadness I keep for those I care about. As for the handball incident, happens so often, no player is going to say sorry ref it was my hand when so much was at stake.

[agchristie]

"news of anyone's death is always sad"

No,no no Bobbi! Rewind to the Peter Sutcliffe thread!!

Where is the line drawn over regret? Hmmmm

[lady-janine]

From what I have read of his lifestyle he was never going to live a long, fruitful and useful one.
Sorry he is dead.
Right now let's get on with those who deserve our respect.

[Mexican18]

Maradona wasn't cheating, he was winning!

[ToraToraTora]

danny me old china, you are entitled to your opinion, as am I.

[Bobbisox1]

Gotchya agc, sharp as a pin as usual Ma girl lol

[bhg481]

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned George Best who, to me, had a very similar life story.

[ToraToraTora]

mexican, that game was a draw.

[ToraToraTora]

bhg, yes, George Best was better too, there are too many to list, I just listed some but I can think of many more.....Cryuff??
