Didier Drogba: the worst play actor in the game by a veritable mile. Big strong guy but if touched would roll around in agony for 5 minutes and often have the game stopped as a consequence, and to hear him ranting at the Norwegian referee and calling him a disgrace in Chelsea's CL semi-final defeat by Barcelona, brought hypocrisy to a new level.
I used to rrrreeeaaalllyyyy hate him. But there are worse. And as an Irishman there's always worse.Quote:

Generally: Ashley Cole ("He is taking the **** Jonathan!!!!") or John Terry (on and off field scum) or Arjen Robben (for reasons similar to OF)
Think we had a similar discussion to this recently. I'd never disliked somebody because they've done some damage to Ireland by playing well, etc. That's not a moral high ground stance by the way, just something that I've never really related to, unless they're total t0ssers as well as inflicting damage upon us, but I can't really think of any bar Henry. I never really liked him anyway though.
I really can't stand the sight of Franck Ribery, everything about him irritates me. And he's grossly overrated I think.
I like tough nut defenders, and what I hate most is the faux tough guy, like Gattuso, Pepe, Materazzi, and the rest. Give it large but then fall like babies if touched. Hate it, argh.
Hate Roy Keane................but i will leave that there, lol:D
Before I saved my post I had considered saying Martin Keown as well for precisely those reasons.Quote:

The only correct answer is Dudu Aouate.
Kevin Muscat - reckless and dangerous, Jack Grealish - turncoat and Salvatore Schillaci for ruining the dream!
This will warm your cockles so.Quote:

He's in the list as is that entire Israeli team. But we should've shut up bleedin' shop.
Ouch.Quote:

The away game was a horror show, but we DIDN'T shut up shop. We tried to. But we didn't.Quote:

O'Brien wasn't the sort of roll around when given a smack by the Israeli keeper. O'Shea almost scores at the end :(Quote:
