  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Joe Jordan would still be kicking Gattuso's head in as we speak.

    Gattuso would murder him, primarily because of the age difference. I dont know what JJ is like but he is old enough to be his father. Maybe back in the day JJ would win but not now.

    Apart from the fact he's taller and heavier?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Hardly fair comparing them at the ages they are.

    Jordan was an animal in his playing days: hard as nails. Probably why he's still liked in Italy - or at least, was.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,778 ✭✭✭Big Pussy Bonpensiero


    Any one else think Gattuso's ban was disgraceful?? 4 game ban for a headbutt and slap to the face? Should have been - at the very least - 6. I wonder if one of the smaller clubs had a player do the same thing what the retrospective ban would be..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,154 ✭✭✭✭Neil3030


    Both in their hayday: Gattuso

    If it took place today: Gattuso

    This whole "ooooh, errrrrrr, Jowdin is propahr 'arrrrrd" line is nonsense spun by Sky on the night for the benefit of their primarily British audience.

    When you think about it, any conversation between grown adults about which footballer would batter the other is "nonsense".

    That's why they tend to be something that you don't take seriously.

    The likes of Joe Jordan would have Gattuso for breakfast. It's nothing to do with Sky at all, I watched the game on RTE for a start, can't stand Sky ''punditry'' and I'm well capable of forming my own opinions.

    Gattuso's one of these modern day ''hard-men'' that think they're untouchable because they walk around the football pitch punching the ground and screaming at opposition players.

    In reality, players from the era that the likes of Joe Jordan, Billy Whitehurst, Graham Souness etc came from would kick seven shades of **** out of these modern day pretend ''hard-men'.

    What punishment did Jordan get for stepping onto the pitch to antagonize players?

    Easy enough to look at things from such a one-sided perspective really.

    So what you're saying is that anyone who played football at a particular time will somehow be tougher than anyone playing these days?
    On what exact date did this miraculous changeover occur?

    Like we said earlier, it's not exactly scientifically proven. Jordan was acknowledged as a hard man in an era (and a league) where it really was physically dished out. Plus he was a dead-ringer for that Jaws lad in the James Bond films so it's a closed case really. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,397 ✭✭✭Paparazzo


    I vote for Jordan.

    Gattuso thinks he headbutted Jordan. I reckon if was the other way around and it was Gattuso that was on the receiving end, he's be on the ground with a fratured eye socket and smashed nose crying for his mammy

    Funny, I feel the same about Gattuso.

    Hard in the same way Robbie Savage was hard.

    What's all this pro athlete nonsense? Being a pro athlete will make you fitter, maybe stronger, depending on size, but it sure as **** doesn't make you be able to defend yourself and fight someone.

    Can Gattuso throw a punch? Can he take a punch? Same applies to Jordan.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,048 ✭✭✭partyndbs


    one thing is 4 certain all football players r pussys so it would be a terrible fight

    I'm saying that people like Jordan, Whitehurst, Souness etc would think nothing of biting your nose off or gouging your eyes out.

    They'd destroy someone who's ''hard-man'' image has been created because he goes around the place screaming and punching the ground.

    Not against the rules winding up players to the best of my knowledge is it??

    Headbutting an OAP is cowardly, regardless of what he's done. IMO he should have gotten an 6 game ban so he couldn't play again in this years competition.

    And one side prospective??? When Kaboul made to headbutt Tioté I never once said he should have gotten a lighter punishment, likewise for most of Spurs' red cards. So don't made stupid assumptions like a good lad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,721 ✭✭✭CR 7


    I'd have to side with Jordan. When Gattuso had him by the neck, he was standing there steely eyed, like there was a fly on his collar. And when he was headbutted, he didn't even flinch.

    It's like them bare knuckle boxing documentaries you'd see, the auld fellas are always the most feared.

    Any description of what went down as a head-butt needs the trades description act applied. He pushed his head into hie face basically.

    He butted him with his head. I've yet to see the dictionary that describes what NM of force needs to be applied for it to be deemed legit.

    People are seriously hypocritcal , if this were certain other players the "hang 'em high" banners would be flying high over the threads, but just like with Zidane, depending on who's involved, its all good to go around sticking the head in them or throwing them around , whether they've raised their hands or not.

    Stepping onto the pitch to wind up players is against the rules.
    Joe Jordan is not an OAP.

    he scares the shit out of it

    Nobody said otherwise?

    You said Gattuso is a miniature Pacman, he isn't, he's taller and heavier. Which was posted above.

    You can't be a miniature someone if you are bigger then them.
