Booing a player for your national team

[Rookie (Rodney)]

same thing

thats your opinion

[AdamM]

my opinion is that it shouldn't take too much effort for everyone to talk to each other politely and respect each others different opinions rather than laughing at / ridiculing / flaming.

a few manners is all I'm asking

Beckham MOTM.  Good game from Crouch (silly booking though, not that he'd be playing in the next game anyway), and nice goal from Cole.

Otherwise comfortable until that shot at the end that Terry cleared off the line.

Good win that we needed (and knew we'd get barring a disaster).  Good result between Russia and Croatia too.

When I was younger I would never have dreamed of booing a footballer, they were hero's...

Whether its because I am now a similar age to them, or I have lost respect for their attitude, or disillutioned with the amount of money that is in football - Now I would boo a player if I saw fit. (Usually linked to a complete lack of effort, eg Albert Luque, or stupidity, eg Craig Bellamy)

Certainly where I watch the majority of my football you won't find a loss being greeted by anything but boo's, even if its only half time!

anyone and i mean anyone who would rather have mclaren than mourinho as a manager deserves to be ridiculed imo.

thats not flaming its just laughing at someones lack of football knowledge or someones stubborness to acknowledge a managers talent because he manages a rival team.

seriously do u not think mourinho would get more out of what players england have on offer than mclaren?

There is a bigger picture than ability as a manager and reputation in decideing who you would prefer as England manager, that is what I think Adam was talking about.

i) Okay, Mourinho has the trophy's in the cabinet to back him as a top class manager. No question. But I also believe that any number of slightly better than average managers would have won all the chelsea ones. Porto was an unbelievable couple of years, I dont know if he bought or inhertited those four or five top quality players but either way their win in the CL deserves massive credit. However, does anyone know who was the Greece manager in 2004? Is he one of the best managers in the world? IMO he's effort to get that team to win the Euro's is bigger than Porto in the CL.

ii) I don't like the way he has Chelsea play football, though as an international manager where he can't really have free reign over the players he brings in he may set england up differently.

iii) I don't like Mourinho's TV personality, or the stuff he comes out with after defeats/poor performances.

iv) He's not English

Probably more too boot - I get exactly what your saying ITB, but you also need to look outside the blue box.

I don't like Mourinho. I dislike how when things go well it's because of his greatness but when things go badly it's a conspiracy. It has nothing to do with Man Utd / Chelsea rivalry. there are plenty of rival managers I respect a lot more than him. he's a bad beat story teller. he seems to be devoid of any humility. McLaren comes across much better to me.

no-one should be ridiculing anyone on Blonde. that's one of the underlying principles of Blonde. We should all be able to express any opinion, safe in the knowledge that we won't be flamed (laughing at someones post is flaming). you appear to think you're exempt from that principle. I'll just have to rise above it and show better manners than than.

i do look outside the blue box and include many managers who are a class above mclaren just like mourinho.

in fact its down on record in these forums that i think sir alex ferguson is the greatest manager of my lifetime.

is that the words of someone who only sees things blue?

I'd put Bob Paisley and Ferguson on a par.

yes paisley was great and certainly in my top 3 but ferguson has done it for a much longer period and has had to reassemble a squad on numerous occassions down the years.

cloughy of course was a great manager, such a shame he never got the chance to manage a really big club or england. but what he done particularly at forest was a great achievement.
