Most odious players in football

dd972

Which players do you dislike most or come across as the most annoying or irritating? I particularly dislike the sort of player who fancies themselves as 'hard men' but pick and choose who they square up to or commit a bad tackle against.
These are the players who I particularly dislike due to their attitudes on the pitch.

Ben Thatcher
Jody Morris
Julian Dicks
Neil Ruddock
John Terry
Callum McManaman
Jack Wilshire
John Obi Mikel
Nigel Reo Coker
Cesc Fabregas
Marlon King
Andy Todd

This won't last.

Odious is definitely the wrong word here.

razorblunt

Are most of those players even "in" football anymore?

CSF

Callum McManaman is a big 1 for me. Wilshere also.

Rega

El Hadji Diouf.

I hate spitting

What has Jack Wilshere and Cesc Fabregas ever done to you OP?

Joey Barton, the little wannabe hardman.

Ivanovic isn't called out often enough for some of the 'tackles' he makes.

I'm wondering if the usual spitting accusation which never gets backed up with a source will be the reason for the Fabregas dislike.

Odious....

New one for me.

You are still missing Roy Keane from the last time you made a list like this OP.

Jack 'The Lad' Wilshere is a decent shout though.

No it isn't. Just because you don't understand a word, that doesn't make it wrong.

Players of yester years.
Gary Neville
Denis Wise
Paul Scholes

Players of today
Ryan Giggs
Rooney
John Terry
RVP
Rio Ferdinand
Frank Lampard
Evra

The arsenal is really coming through in that post quazzie

For me suarez and terry are two players who come across as two very 'odious' players and people.

jaykay74

Funny how odious players typical play for clubs you don't support judging by this thread

Richard Hillman

Paul McShane

And just like that, Jason Todd's post and the 2 that quoted it are gone like they were never here. Ok, in keeping within the rules...

Mine in particular are John Terry, Luis Suarez, Sergio Ramos, Joey Barton. I find them to be the most odious odiousities that are playing the modern game. Yep, they have no saving graces for me, stenching of odiousium they are. Shame that even when you reach the top of the world, some people will still always be odiousunts.

One that used to be on my list was Frank of the Lampards, but admittedly because I just didn't like him and not because he is truly odious. Then by chance, I heard first hand of a story involving Frank and a situation he dealt with involving people who were complete strangers to him a few years back. Basically they had something that he wanted, something so unique that even someone like Frank Lampard couldn't get this anywhere in the world but from these people, and it meant a hell of a lot to them also. But by all accounts he went about it as a gentleman, and was very humble and didn't at all act like I presumed he would in such a scenario, and it worked out very well for the 2 strangers. I remember feeling quite touched after hearing the story, and wrong in my previous assertion of the man. Frank is 100% in my book, even if he is the enemy!

But as for Terry, Barton, Suarez and Ramos, odious is the word.

Could the others redeem themselves if they carried out good acts in their personal lives.

For every decent story, there are twice as many bad ones, like where he evicted the grandmother of his kids.

The same people who use the old cliches about Arsenal lacking bite and being soft are usually the same who moan about Wilshere


So contradictory

Is that Iniesta or Nesta?

Iniesta is one of the greatest players of his generation, a gent on the pitch and wonderful to watch.

100% agree, i'd throw Rio Ferdinand in there as well; if i used the words i'd want to describe them, i'd get banned.

Not a player of course but i'd throw Sir Alex in there as an honorary member of your list

What's people's beef with Rio Ferdinand?
Bit annoying with all his Twitter and merchandise lark but hardly odious.
Not a notoriously dirty player and doesn't hit the headlines for scummy behaviour. Wouldn't be anywhere near a long list for me if I was looking at it impartially.

A gent on the pitch :pac: He's a renowned diver and imo a drugs cheat.

Take Terry off the list so, seemingly he helped one of his team mates wife with some problem she had, he spent a lot of his free time doing it as well fair play. He has also done a lot to promote anti racism in football, he should also be commended for that as well. And also, can you redeem him for his mother? She is a big Liverpool fan seemingly

That's not fair, Gareth has said, if a player even "attempts" to kick him he has a right to fall over

be very careful with this thread, nobody wants to warn, infract or ban people but remember Personal insults even against non boards members are against the charter and will be acted upon / reported if made (already have been for example)

Meh, that's hardly in the same league as the actions of the names being mentioned here, especially considering the context of what just happened in that game.

I'd reserve the word odious for serial cheats and general scummy behaviour.

What about the pathetic way he acted when he was told he wasn't good enough to play for England any more?

You mean before he was called back on the basis he was still good enough?

Roy the penguin was the main instigator in that issue

Again, I wouldn't lump him in with the the players here. Throwing your toys out of the pram is one thing...
The thread is titled the "most odious".
Maybe your criteria is different to mine.

Turtyturd

Is this not supposed to be based on on pitch antics?

Ferdinand embodies the downside of twitter (giving a public platform for opinions which should be contained as much as possible) but there are worse on the pitch.

What's the buzz with Ramos? On the pitch antics similar to Pepe or has he done things outside football that I don't know about?

He comes off as being highly dislikable both on and off the pitch.

Fair enough, you're obviously entitled to your opinion. It's just a surprising inclusion to me.

Along with what's listed in this article along with things like always having time for fans who confront him be and incident like a fan running on to the pitch last week or that young Turkish boy lookalike outside the team bus a few months back... the fact that he doesn't drink due to the damage it did to his family (Father) ... selling his Golden Boot and donating the money to charity ... etc ...

Can't understand why Ronaldo is so hated? That said a lot of people seem to go with this Messi V Ronaldo attitude. If ya like one ya hate the other.

I know he dived and what not during his early days at United but he has cleaned up his act consoderably and matured in to the worlds best player imo.

By the way I'm a Liverpool supporter.

Because you can't possibly like Ronaldo who is a diver and does everything for the money while Saint Leo takes time off during matches to make the blind see and the dumb speak /s.
