The football season has finished and left a painful hole in the viewing souls of all football supporters. Now we can see the various pre-season matches of our favourite teams, football still, but not the adrenaline inducing games we see during the season.
Last season seen some great football full of magical skills, last gasp defending and wonder goals. Like everything in life there cant be one without the other. The other I am talking about is cheating. Call it gamesmanship, call it simulation call it what the hell you like, but the truth is the truth-cheating is cheating and it is rife in the modern game. Every team cheats, some more than others but none more than Barcelona.
The great Barcelona, unbeatable and at times breath taking to watch. Very charitable with their sponsorship of Unincef, a club which people should admire.......No fucking way.
A great club who cheat and complain their way through matches. A club deep in debt, a club with players who have no idea of respect and a club with an apparent rascist playing for them. Doesn't sound like a club you should pay any attention to, does it? Many many people will argue with me and say every club cheats and every club has players who are without respect. Look at the big clubs in the premier league, they are up to their eyeballs in debt. Many people dont have a fucking clue about Barcelona, they see their awe inspiring displays of football on T.V and in an instant, fall in love with Barcelona.
Get a grip please. This is a club who cheat their way through games. Everyone remembers the Champions League semi final with Real Madrid and Barcelona. Dani Alves was disgusting with his shameless acting, as was Pedro the tomato farmer and Busquets the fairy. I would love to see what would happen if these 'men' were punched by another man......I reckon they would self implode and melt into a pile of steaming hot shite.
Xavi, now here is the chief wanker. A man who likes to talk crap and doesn't have the most miniscule speck of respect for other clubs. Recently he has been poking his little frog face into the never ending saga of 'will fabregas or won't fabregas join Barcelona'. I wonder if his ass is jealous of the shite which leaves his mouth.
It is apparent I dont like the Barcelona team or most of their players, and i should be careful as not to seem like a bitter twisted ranting half-wit, but i just can't stand what I see and read. The Real Madrid coach, Mourhinio, was 100% correct when he commented on Barcelona's 'special' relationship with UEFA and that fucker Platini. They get away with murder and no one says anything.
UEFA have stated that clubs will need to be making money and not borrowing if they want to compete in Eurpoean matches. Interesting this. Barcelona had to ask the bank for 150 million Euros to pay their players!! Will Platini stand firm with his remarks or will Barcelona find a way to slime thier way out it? Imagine a Champions League without Barcelona, free of diving, cheating and racist taunts.
During the match with Real Madrid, Busquets was caught mouthing the words 'mono, mono' to Marcello. He covered his mouth while doing it....Doesn't that seem more than a little guilty? If it wasn't anything nasty why did he cover is mouth? After an 'investigation' by UEFA, the racist bastard got off. Im not suprised really.
Something more sinister and ugly is the politics which Barcelona bring into football. Barcelona is in the community of Cataluña, which is in the counrty of Spain. Barcelona see themselves as Catalan and not Spanish. I suppose that is their right but regardless of how they see themselves, they are still an important part of Spain. When they won the Champions league there wasn't one single Spanish flag on show from the Barcelona team. The players who are Spainish should be ashamed. Afraid to celebrate the victory for your country because certain Catalan elements don't seem themselves as Spanish. Wouldn't want to offend them, would you? It was a tremendous victory for Spanish football, not only Cataluña.
Barcelona play great football and they gave Man Utd an awful hiding during the Champions League final, but their antics on and off the field only serve for the negative comments I am directing at this team of unsporting cheats.
Now with my rant over I want to leave on a lighter note. A certain Man Utd player spent a shit load of money trying to remain invisible in the media about his extra marital affair......during the Champions League final he was invisible all night and it cost him nothing.
Mick , a lot of what you are saying here is actually stemming from the horrific nature of the 'management' of the game itself. FIFA / UEFA have been caught out by the English FA over cheating / bullying / intimidation tactics to 'win' tournaments for nations such as Russia and Qatar ; 2 nations not viable for a high speed physical game played over 90 minutes+ (Qatar - too hot and too small , Russia - no internal infrastructure to transport foriegn fans to all the venues)
ReplyDeleteHow can the cheats be challenged about conduct and behaviour when that exact device is used by the Govenors of Football as means to an end ?
The top 32 seeded countries should get together and sack the Governors , both FIFA and CONCAIF / UEFA / African Nations / OCENANIA etc
Football is now about business remuneration , it's WWE only without the bad scripts as nobody has the time to write better fiction than what actually happens in a day of world football !!
Mourinho has it spot on : people see the sponser's name and immediately feel under pressure to either 'go easy' or 'fully back' them.
Looking at World events of the last 18 months Mick .... more has been achieved with demonstration and protest than what has in the previous 20 years of invasion of countries could ever do.
The World is changing ; corruption is not going to be tolerated any more by any democratic society ..... as Mr Murdoch and the News Int. cronies are about to find out , with the FBI now taking an interest in Murdochs affairs , the Ynaks aren't afraid to bang up a billionaire if he's been at it e.g. Conrad Black , Martha Stewart
Barcelona with have their Waterloo Mick .... only when Mr Platini and his puppetmaster Joseph S. Blatter toddle off to the 'golden handshake' of corruption investigation at LEGAL level , then unfortunately we have to put up with this balls and the fools that are destroying football
