He's an outstanding defender, and yes he's an absolute sh*thouse. He's 35 and is still playing at a very high level, after playing over 300 games for Real. Footballers get fined and banned, thankfully I don't watch a sport where eye gouging is common place and people go round kicking people in the head. You say you don't like play acting but are happy to excuse Bloodgate, which was the most clear and obvious play acting ever committed on a pitch, and Quins routinely did it. Pepe would be alright as well, he's actually pretty hard he just chooses not to be at times, just like Costa. I don't like that side of the game either but to pretend that rugby is some sort of sport with the highest morality and respect is utter balls. Same as cricket. Every team in every sport bends the rules as far as they can to gain an advantage.Originally Posted by SABlue
You're so far off the mark it's ridiculous- Bolloxs to the "Bloodgate Scandle" back in 2009 - The point i was making was seeing how footballers who dive and roll around on ground as if they have been SHOT (play acting) to entice players being booked or even sent off is an absolute DISGRACE !!!!
Would love to see how your Pepe "One of the best payer of his generation" as you put it would react if he were to be tackled playing RUGBY.
I believe that players who over act after being fouled should be cited (As what happens in Rugby - dirty play) given bans and even HUGE fines - as its currently making a mockery of the sport
