    Well mostly for this infamous incident
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/european/5216027/Real-Madrids-Pepe-banned-for-10-matches-for-Getafe-rampage.html

    but generally overall he is one of the best examples of a nark, a player who feigns injury more than most and generally brings the game intpo disrepute
    https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2016/may/29/why-it-is-time-football-introduced-the-pepe-rule

    Then there is this one from this years tournament, ref not impressed


    Clattenburg is 20 times the twat Pepe is for that incident.

    He could easily have booked him but instead decided to pose for the cameras.

    By not punishing players for acting the maggot you are only encouraging them to do it.

    Highly confident in a France win here - Either 2 or 3 nil.

    Portugal have severely underwhelmed in this tournament, and while we mightn't have seen their best, I think France will have far far too much for them.

    France would be worthy and deserving winners. I'd find it hard to justify Portugal winning the tournament as the 'best team' winning it.

    Any word on Pepes fitness?

    Have my eye on a nice little bet but it involves him playing.

    Red.

    Odds probably low enough, given his form.

    I don't think France are going to justify the majority view that they deserve this etc. Portugal are a determined that have dragged themselves to the final while not firing. I think the big occasion, pressure of expectation & being the home nation all goes against France in this.

    Big stage is where Ronaldo will shine, I think Portugal will win this.

    My opinion on both teams in the final.

    I hope France win. Definitely the lesser of 2 Evils. The tournament overall has been very average.

    would absolutely love for Ronaldo to get sent off, with the 2nd yellow for simulation.

    Never going to happen.

    Can't even remember last time he was sent off.

    Edit: https://www.quora.com/How-many-times-has-Ronaldo-gotten-red-cards

    More than I thought.

    Big problem with moths in the stadium and a BBC reporter is saying they have vacuum cleaners to use on them if it gets too much.

    Seriously why the need for RTE to go on air at 6.30 pm? Far too much weight given to punditry and puff pieces.

    Then I saw that TV3 went on air at 6.00 pm. Jesus wept!

    Nonsense, both of these teams have world class players in them. I like many of the players.
    How exactly are they "evils"???

    And the tournament has been very entertaining. I enjoyed most of the games. Even some of the 0-0 matches were excellent. Portugal v Austria for example, what a game that was, had everything except goals.

    Wonder how much the extra day's rest benefit the Portuguese. Thursday to Sunday is not a great deal of time to recover.

    One team has a few @r$€;holes and the other I've a problem with their fickle fans. Sure yes it's been entertaining in parts but the standard of football hasn't been very good overall. There's been no outstanding team. Portugal have been poor and have had easy matches bar the Croatia game. Which they only just won at the death of extra time.

    The one time you want Will Griggs there. He'd sort it.

    Is that why he was picked by NI? To deal with infestations?

    Every team has arsholes. And a lot of teams have fickle fans, even the best fans in the world are fickle(look at the times landsdowne road is half full)....

    Standard of football, whilst you have a point. I cant think of one competition that had a high standard. Even the champions league has some very poor games. Many in the media and online said world cup 2010 and 2014 were poor.

    And think back to other tournaments, what was a good standard???
