I was making a similar point yesterday about why authorities don't do anything about refs getting harassed - it is of course terrible and wrong but people actually like to watch it. Let's face it the England Colombia game without all the dissent, pushing, and general bad behaviour was probably very dull but people thought it was a good game because of all that "drama"Originally Posted by Burney

Great touch for a big man
You make him sound like Peter Crouch
I didn't realise how much I'd come to take his excellence for granted until he was gone and I remembered that most players couldn't do that stuff.
No... I appreciate the creative side of his game. I just refuse to buckle to the perceived wisdom that the negatives are mitigated by the positives. It’s a fairly widely held view that he drifts out of certain games once his chin hits the floor.
