R.I.P what a player he was.
All over social media there are English football fans, some of whom weren’t even born in ‘86, still losing their shit about ‘The hand of God’. ???BBC hacked me off.Very sniffy about him and the 'Hand of God'.
If you ain't cheating you ain't tryingHe was a very good player but he was also a cheat. RiP nevertheless.
Joe Jordan taught him how to score like that. ???????????????All over social media there are English football fans, some of whom weren’t even born in ‘86, still losing their shit about ‘The hand of God’. ???
RIP Diego. A true Scottish patriot????????
Every player that ever brought down someone is a cheat.He was a very good player but he was also a cheat. RiP nevertheless.
You are entitled to your opinion, as am I. I have acknowledged Maradona was a very good player. Several posters have stated he was the reason they fell in love with football; well I was especially lucky when I was a boy to see Gordon Smith play this game that we love and play for our team. Skill, artistry, grace, athleticism, goal-scoring ability and a wonderful sense of sportsmanship: now that is the essence of a great player, not someone who cheats in the sport's showpiece final - and then denies said cheating ever took place. Pele was a role model; Maradona could never be.Every player that ever brought down someone is a cheat.
Every player that ever handled the ball to stop a goal is a cheat.
Every player that ever fell over when they weren't fouled is a cheat.
Pretty much every fitba player in the world has 'cheated' at some point.
They just weren't all as totally, fantastically and utterly brilliant at fitba as he was.
Pure Quality.
don't imagine people will be remembering him for being a role model.You are entitled to your opinion, as am I. I have acknowledged Maradona was a very good player.

And with your final sentence, I concur.don't imagine people will be remembering him for being a role model.
just a barry fitba player. hope he finds peace now.
I just never really get it when people come on RIP threads to point out the negative.And with your final sentence, I concur.
I may be the only person on this thread stating my opinion of Maradona that you don't like, but I am not alone in that opinion by any means. And I can separate my dislike for his cheating from my sympathy for his passing.I just never really get it when people come on RIP threads to point out the negative.
Everyone has flaws. Especially the genius of the world. To denounce him as a cheat is poor form IMO.
But you fill yer boots.
What a player!
maybe you should keep yer opinons tae yersel on a RIP thread is my point.I may be the only person on this thread stating my opinion of Maradona that you don't like, but I am not alone in that opinion by any means. And I can separate my dislike for his cheating from my sympathy for his passing.

He won the WC whilst skied off the perico, if thats not a role model i dont know what is. And he ripped the pish out of Terry Butcher.
Best chant ever, Got taught it by some Argies in 06 WC.
Was at that game with my Mum and Dad - my first ever trip to Hampden! We were right behind the goals McKimmie scored into.Back in 1990 Scotland played Argentina in a Friendly at Hampden. I got a ticket for the game for the sole purpose of seeing Maradona playing, and I think most of the crowd that night had done the same. Anyway, a few days before the game he pulled out the squad and that was my chance gone of ever seeing the great man play. I remember being gutted at the time.
There was some compensation however as Scotland won the game 1-0 with a goal from Stuart McKimmie.
