He`ll get no sympathy off me the cheating twat!

Yeah, never mind eh?

Next.

The amount of noses he's got up over here, I call this poetic justice that something shite gets up his nose.....

Best footballer i've ever seen, i wish him well.

Michel Platini, or maybe Oswaldo Piazza

But not as good up front as your AVATAR?:D

Truly pathetic....

Compare his post career with that of Pele...Class and building interest in the game globally versus Crass and rebuilding his nose with plastic surgery....

I really hope he cleans up...he could still be a positive force if only to show how to get away with hand balls near the goal

You can't say fairer than that.

Originally posted by almanso i´m sick of hearing opinions about Diego as a player bringing the fact that he can´t be the best because he´s a drug addict. that goal vs England and the other one vs Belgium he did it drug free. maybe it´s a way for some people to justify the fact that he crossed the whole field letting a bunch of players behind and making their team go home.

Fair enough, but by his own admission he CHEATED when he scored the first. Becoming a drug addict is one thing, but being a cheat is inexcusable. Particularly when you have enough talent that you don't need to be...

Alejo, though undoubtedly Maradona was a fine footballer, he will never ever be seen as just a fine player in England. He will forever be tainted with the fact that he (by his own admission) cheated us out of a match. That will never go away. The other goal he scored will never be seen as the wondergoal it was simply because that should have earned his side only a draw, it will forever be overshadowed by the cheating.

And yes I am glad the cheating bastard is ill, serves him right.

Originally posted by almanso it seems drugs weren´t the problem this time. even though the drugs made the whole cardiologic problems he has, plus his overweight. i´m not saying he´s clean, because he´s not. but he was really trying hard to get out of that. it was a mix of cardiologic problems and lung infection combined with high blood tensionand i´d like to say something to those who laugh at drug addictions and it´s consecuences, why don´t you try to get rid of your own addictions? i´m sure it´s hard, isn´t it? on the other hand drugs has anything to do with his skill as a player. i´m sick of hearing opinions about Diego as a player bringing the fact that he can´t be the best because he´s a drug addict. that goal vs England and the other one vs Belgium he did it drug free. maybe it´s a way for some people to justify the fact that he crossed the whole field letting a bunch of players behind and making their team go home. besides, if drug is such a big deal for some of you i wonder what the hell are you doing here, giving tribute to a bunch of drug and alcohol addicts like the members of NO were/are. what is important is the things you make and what you give to the world in your time in earth. Van Gogh was crazy, Wilde was gay, Picasso was a communist... so what? let´s enjoy what they did without being so fooking judgemental about everything. let´s see the mirror first, shall we? and find that we´re horrible creatures with a couple of good characteristics.i´m sorry, but sometimes i can´t stand the hypocresy of some people.

How do we know that the proven cheat with the great physique wasn't coked up to eyeballs and on steroids(his cock is small enough) when he ghosted past those players? The reason sport is dying is the whole win at all costs attitude brought about by commerce, and the political ideologies of the Eastern Bloc. Who gives a rats arse about the olympics anymore? Why? because of cheating athletes. Being clean was never an apsect of music that was lauded as a virtue. Absolutely no hypocrisy is involved whatsoever.

I'm not convinced being 'coked up to the eyeballs' helps you score goals like that in football, unless you can tell me different?!

I'd have to said it would have a fairly detrimental effect, bar perhaps on endurance.

Didn't he test positive for cocaine in USA 94, whilst coincidentally enjoying something of an Indian summer on the pitch?

Indeed. From memory, I think he tested positive for numerous other banned substances as well?!

Still can't see the charlie made him any 'better' a footballer, per se, mind.

Personally, I don't give a flying one if Maradona did the odd line (well, the odd kilo in his case). Let he who is without sin, et cetera.

I don't much care who takes what. I don't however like the idea that if you play by the rules, you end up a mug as someone cheats their way to the top. I certainly wouldn't like to think I was paying to watch someone on a hiding to nothing because of drugs cheats.

My two wee brothers took an E before one of our games earlier this season They were absolutely terrible, and our Daniel is usually one of the best. John probably had a few grammes still in him as well, and he was worse than Daniel!!!Whether he took drugs is neither here nor there to me, the man was a genius on the field. The QF of 86 was DAM v Belgium, that's how good he was. As for that solo effort - there's never been a better goal than that. The one where he took on the whole England team was good as wellAnd please, don't mention John Barnes' in the same sentence;)

I'm no drugs expert but aren't the main effects of cocaine to increase your heart rate and produce an inner confidence/cockyness. Now if we could perhaps get the current Liverpool team to play with those characteristics...

Mind you if it wasn't for Maradona New Order would be missing a song title.

Hope he makes a full recovery and gets back on the straight and narrow so he can hopefully train and inspire young kids to become fantastic footballers like he was,

Casey - agree Almanso - agree

And i think had Peter Shiltons fist been flying through the air towards my head i would have put my arm up to defend myself as well...
