Soccer scumbaggery

Whats with all the thuggery of late in soccerball?
A reflection on the calibre of gentleman attracted to soccer?

Matches abandoned kids getting slaps from adults:

Heres a ref after getting a kicking:

Harumph.

Anyone who does that to a ref should get a very lengthy ban.

In Derry in the 80s in a local summer cup, a goalkeeper chased the ref down a road after the match. He never caught him I don't think, but he got a 15 year ban from local soccer.

As opposed to friendly arm breaking, biting, stamping on people on the floor and eye gouging that happens in Rugby? A reflection of the standard of a private school education these days?

Kevin Finnerty · 12-11-2018 12:38AM

Tollartistry shouldn't be tolerated either. The more that happens the more it'll be tollarted.

The_Kew_Tour · 12-11-2018 12:38AM

They should be banned for life

Soccer players could learn a hell of a lot from rugby players when it comes to respect towards refs.

Ah, but there's no malice in a bit of eye gouging, or shoeing
Buy the chap a few pints in the bar afterwards.

What about the Bog ballers? Worst of the lot - even Ramos looks Corinthian beside the muck-savages.

They should be arrested, charged and imprisoned for either violent assault or
attempted murder.

And banned...

Boards isn't big enough for the soccer equivalent to that. You should really take heed of 'measure twice, cut once'.

Very distressing to see a chap injured so badly.

Yet despite the gulf in social class both football sports have a problem with dubious/violent sexual behaviour amongst its participants and justification of same by supporters. Go figure.

What do you mean lately op?

Gwan away with that crap! Gaelic football or "Bog Ball" as you call it is tame compared with some of the scum that still follow soccer. Bog Ball and rugby teams go for a few jars after a game. Players and supporters drink and have the craic.

Biggest shame is that there's not enough refs like Pierluigi Collina in Scum Ball (see what I did there?) - if he looked at you in a bad mood, you'd quickly shut up.

Same with Nigel Owens. You just don't argue with him. You always hear respect from the players when he gives a ruling.

Lol because hundreds if not thousands of people have died as a result of Gaelic football hooligans :rolleyes:

I mean there's violence attached to most sports because of people being idiots but soccer is literally the worst for violence, racism and hatred in comparison to any other organised team sport.

And it's not even close.

When rugby has the same levels of participation and support as football and isn't played in just a handful of countries we'll do a meaningful comparison.

Until then, go enjoy your game and I'll enjoy mine. What exactly is it about some rugby fans that they think a big part of being a fan is the need to have a go at football players and fans?

dan1895 · 12-11-2018 08:49AM

Isn't there some Autumn friendlies on you should be watching op?

The smug sense of superiority bestowed upon you in private schools.

jon1981 · 12-11-2018 10:26AM

Just to clarify, this happened off the pitch in the car park. This was not "in the heat of the moment over some decision" on the pitch... this will be treated as an assault, a lifetime ban is a given.

All sports have knackers, last week it was GAA lads boxing the heads off each other, this week it's the soccer lads...

greenspurs · 12-11-2018 10:37AM

I was assaulted on the field of play during a match.
If is not a nice thing to happen. It takes a long time to get over it.
The league I was refereeing in at the time were a joke, and the coward that struck me because I was sending off his brother didn't show up to the disciplinary hearing.
He came back playing after a few years.

I hope that ref involved will be okay , and recover physically and mentally.

valoren · 12-11-2018 10:54AM

Who the hell writes these things!?

The DDSL has warned that clubs will be fined €500 and hit with a six-point deduction if there team are involved in an incident

The Talking Bread · 12-11-2018 10:58AM

Should this thread not be in the rugby or GAA section where the posters can hold hands and gleefully play with their superiority complexes

DellyBelly · 12-11-2018 11:01AM

Mullingar town I believe was the team involved. Not overly surprised. It's a fairly rough place.

j8wk2feszrnpao · 12-11-2018 11:06AM

Are people really unable to detect sarcasm from the OP?

Soccer has huge issue with discipline, this is just another case. Of course it's not alone, but you've only to watch the games to see it has the biggest issue.

Best of luck to the ref, hope he recovers.

I was late for a match (soccerball!) one day, ended up togging off with a ref for another match.
Chatting, i asked him how does he put with the bullsh1t and whining. He just shrugged and said its more or less part of the game now.

I blame the parents and coaches. Kids at a young age learn that disrespecting the ref is ok.

Feck, im rumbled.

Played all sports, brutal at hurling, not much better at soccer, but i had a lot of mass and was fast, which came in useful in rugby. Zero skill

Troll .......ey

diusmr8a504cvk · 12-11-2018 12:02PM

I know this is about football but you can't ignore the continuous violence at GAA games since day dot. It's only of late that people have started to record it.

The_Kew_Tour · 12-11-2018 12:11PM

As a Football fan I don't see the problem.

It was a utter disgrace and the culprits need to be banned and never step on a field again.

We have violence in a GAA that gets highlighted too, and eventually the Drug Problem In Rugby will rise to the top st some point in future.

But what happens this ref deserves front page coverage. It's just assault for a pastime to most.

inforfun · 12-11-2018 12:12PM

Meh... amateurs.

In The Netherlands 4 police cars were sent out to a club named Zeeburgia whose Under 17's were playing Winkel U17 and players of the last team locked themselves up in their dressing room, too afraid to leave.

Oh yeah, those were the u17 girls teams.
