[Archived] Most Hated People In Football

[Drummer Boy]

Graeme Souness - what a tosser!!

Takes over at Rovers who are, at best, mid-table in Div.1

The place is swamped with overrated, overpaid prima donnas who think they are above the club and have no dedication or professionalism

David Dunn is trying to get out because the management won't play him

There is no discipline at the place and nobody knows who is in charge

In fact, it's a bloody holiday camp with a free slush fund for as long as you can stay on the books

So, Graeme Souness comes along and clears out the dead wood, gets David Dunn playing to his potential, sorts out the dressing room and gets us promoted in his first full season at Ewood. I can feel the hatred building up already!!

First season back in the Prem. and he keeps us up, wins a trophy, then gets us back into Europe the following season by our league position rather than a cup win - God, I wish we still had Brian Kidd because GS has done nothing for BRFC.

He has to sell Duff (the board couldn't say no) and David Dunn can't keep out of the pie shop or Accy's clubs and pubs and has forgotten what dedication got him to where he is, won't listen to his manager who's been there and done it - so he has to go.

OK - he buys a donkey (Grabbi) and doesn't make good use of him and could have made better use of the Duff legacy (£17m).

I do agree that he was starting to run out of ideas and his limitations were becoming increasingly obvious especially in the transfer market, his response to our poor form and it seemed his style had run it's course in the dressing room. So it seemed a natural parting of the ways was inevitable, so he walked before he was pushed like the rest of us would have done.

What do we do?? That's right - forget "Thanks very much Graeme, good luck and you did a great job recovering BRFC's position in football" - no, instead we nominate him for people we hate the most in football!!!!!!!

What short memories we have and how superficial we are is nothing short of astounding.

UN-BLOODY-BELIEVABLE!!

Here's a thread to bring out the lurkers! And 5 just isn't enough.

1. definitely Mijhalovic(sp)/anyone assoc with Lazio-just evil

2. Clive Tiddlesley or whatever his name is from ITV-what an arrogant fool he is; based on what I've read about Rodney Marsh he'd go here but I'm 8,000 miles away thank ye gawds I've never had to listen to him

3. Rooney/C Ronaldo/Fergie/the "diehard" ManUre fans-'nuff said already, but at this distance Rooney appears to be a first class idiot. If he blew out a knee he'd be unemployable.

4. David Gold-arrogant without anything to back it up. Just shut up already. You'll cry alone when Pandiani moves on this summer.

thinking carefully now...

5. The English media-constantly kissing the backsides of ManU, Arsenal, and Chelsea. Just a while ago during the Arse-Soton match "Arsenal just a 2-0 victory away from the CL quarterfinals." Like THAT is going to happen.

I totally agree with Drummer Boy. GS did a lot for this club. I just think, that we should have separated a little bit earlier. He couldn't do more for us, he took us to the limit of a partnership between brfc and gs. but he definitely deserves some credit here!!!!

[andy82]

Gerald Ashby - Did he 'ref' several games between us and Man Utd around the title win time?

(1) RFW

(2) El Haj Djouf

(3) (4) (5) Football in general. Apart from Rovers scoring a goal and winning a game and the odd miracle goal shown on telly can anyone name anything that makes you think the game is uplifting in any way?

I'm depressed. Lift me out of it.

Ditto.

We wouldn't be where we are now without his management during 2000-2003. When I look back now, he got us into europe and won a trophy in his first season back!!

As if that wasn't enough, he goes on and snatches a UEFA cup spot again through a lot of 4-0 victories.

Saddens me sometimes.

[Ozz]

Harry Redknapp-Likes to perpeptuate the myth that he is the worlds greatest manager

David O`Leary-Very bad loser and seems to think Rovers are notjing

Neil Warnock-enough said

Steve Bruce-see Redknapp

Ian Wright-total gobshoite and for that play off final

[grizfoot]

1. Rodney Marsh

2. El Hadji Diouf

3. Steve Bruce

4. Alex Ferguson

5. Roy Keane

[philipl]

Had a few spare minutes so I totted up the mentions:

RFW 33

Diouf 23

Souness 18

Bruce 15

R Keane 14

Mammy's boy 11

R Marsh 10

Gold 9

C Ronaldo 8

Mourinho 8

Rooney 8

G Neville 7

Van Nistelrooyd 6

Hoddle 6

There were 111 nominations.

Interestingly Lazio and Lazio players picked up more nominations than anything to do with Bumley who collected just four nominations- David Edmundson (mostle for his time at QEGS) 2, Andy Payton 1 and Bob Lord's Ghost 1

By my reckoning, only Jol, Moyes, Dowie and whoever is managing Pompey didn't get nominated amongst current Prem Managers- oh, add Mark Hughes to that!

Several refs got dishonourable mentions but NOBOD'Y mentioned D'Urso.

Let me remind you, the current Prem table shows:

16th Rovers 28 pts

18th Soton 24 pts

Had it not been for D'Urso's flight of imagination in the 90yh minute at St Mary's, the table would read:

16th Rovers 29 pts

18th Soton 22 pts

[thenodrog]

without Saha's handball during Wiley's ludicrously induced Fergytime at Ewood we would be on 31 points too.

Offside goal at Boro........32

Where do you stop Philip?

[cletus]

My most hated people in football......

1...Alex Ferguson

2...David Beckham

3...the entire German nation

4...El haj Diouf

5...Jimmy Hill

*note....i did not mention Dingles, as i do not think they should come under 'football' as it may be mis-leading*

before savage came there's no doubt he would've topped that list by a considerable amount. For some reason it feels good to have one of the leagues most hated players in our team!

anyway.....my top five is.....

1-Rodney Marsh

2-Diouff

3-Bruce (and the birmingham board)

4-Uriah rennie (where did all the stoppage time go?!)

5-mourinho

Cant really include burnley because i dont hate them.....more like pity them. They will forevermore be living in Rovers' shadow!

Agreed but D'Urso's ab'omination occured in what could prove to be a life or d'eath encounter.

With you there, Mr C.

The spirit of the game has been pushed out by green folding stuff.

[LeftWinger]

1. Alan Smith

2. Barry Ferguson

3. El Hadji Diouf

4. Sven Goran Eriksson

5. Alex Ferguson

[youandwhosearmy]

hoddle -(probably because of the sutton fiasco and everything after)

Barry Ferguson -for being a complete waste of space

El Hadji Diouf -for being overhyped by houllier who claimed if he was brazilian he would be the best player in the world. For spitting and diving as well.

Steve Bruce - for being a hypocrite, when he was at palace he couldnt leave fast enough, yet when other players want to leave his team he cant accept it

Freddy shepard for being a fat, ugly, bald piece of $%!)

Urs Maier, Anders Frisk, Johansson, Blatter and most other foreign refs and administrators who tolerate all but the most blatant corruption at european and international level

Roy Keane

Lovejoy, McIlvanney, Simon Barnes and all the other self-appointed broadsheet media fools. Especially Barnes.

Scotland and all their endless chippy carping - the Burnley of international football

Richard Witschge - he joins us, he plays for 1 match and messes up our title charge with a completely disinterested performance at West Ham, then he goes around telling everyone what a crap place Blackburn is.

That's a bit more than 5 there. Sorry.

[LeftWinger]

and how he deserves a championship medal- not jason wilcox.

No order -

Roy Keane

Steve Bruce

Henrik Larsson

El Hadji Diouf

Teddy Sheringham

Urs Maier, Anders Frisk, Johansson, Blatter and most other foreign refs and administrators who tolerate all but the most blatant corruption at european and international level

How is Urs Meier corrupt?

Bloody foreigners, eh?

[tmap]

Sorry, I should qualify that (although this is arguably another thread topic)

I don't think FIFA and UEFA have done anything like enough to address the proven cases of corruption in recent times. They laugh at suggestions of referee bribery, and yet there have been several well-proven cases of refs at the highest level who were corrupt (Roethlisberger and others). And yet we're supposed to believe that those are isolated cases in the past, even though nothing seems to be done to investigate whether it's more widespread.

So to take the last World Cup as an example, everyone laughed at Italy's sour grapes at their blatantly unfair exit, but it wasn't so funny when the same referee, Moreno, was suspended later that year for being found out taking bribes.

So with that in mind, I'd like to see more serious attention paid to serious refereeing anomalies. The examples of Meier and Frisk were thrown in there a bit unfairly, so apologies.

[colin]

Just to add a bit more spice to the thread.

El Hadji Diouf was featured in The Manchester Evening News tonight after parking his over-sized vehicle* in a disabled parking space outside Kendals on Deansgate and going shopping for an hour.

Several complaints from people who couldn't park their cars and who had disabled badges.

* one of those big "F off things, built to carry a gallon of phlegm and a diving board
