Mourinho

[Izzard]

Here in Spain, Mourinho and by extension Real Madrid is becoming the main enemy to ALL clubs, not only FCBarcelona. Spanish football has become into a war between "the world against Mourinho". Obviously the last clasicos have damaged the image of Spanish football, but the last game has been the most shameful acting I've seen in years

Here's some "diving" and look what Mou is smelling at the end


Mourinho 8 year old acting just "HAHA! I poked your eye!"


The full final fight and more "diving" from Cesc Fabregas


My question to all european football fans, specially from Portugal, UK and Italy is the next one: Has Mourinho been always like that in the clubs he coached? Just to make you know, I'm not a FCBarcelona supporter, to be true, I hate that polarity produced by TV rights, but that's another story.

barca fan here,
i have always respected mourinho and these barca madrid games do build up ALOT of tension as we saw on the last few mintes of the game, the little things that he did are just trying to provke becase he knows that barca is the better side, i mean we broke there whole defence with 1 pass from messi.
what annoyed me was that all the Rmadrid team went straight off the pitch after the gae without saying any congratulatiosn or waiting till barca llif the cup to applaud them and that to ME is a disgrace to the game and madrid need to grow up and get used to applauding the best team in world because its going to happen again this season.

I know when he won the UEFA cup with Porto his team was less than honest with the rulebook (i don't give a fuck about that game - he screwed Celtic over, for that he'll never need to buy a drink in Glasgow EVER), he's always been a bit of a cunt though, never really giving full respect to the game, shame since he's actually a pretty shrewd manager, but he does buy all his own hype.

I suspect Vilas-Boas will eventually go the same route.

Mourinho has always been an irritating person. It's his style.

[Thaz]

It's a game hes playing and so far it's working. Real Madrid have been the only squad in the past year that made Barcelona run for their money.

I for one enjoy his theatrics.

[Izzard]

Reading the spanish press' forums I realize that even RMadrid fans are willing to get Mourinho out of his club to avoid the shame of being represented by him.

Be a little unbiased when posting this, both teams are ruining the sport, RMD makes some retarded tackles even dangerous ones, where as Barcalona films and cheats. What is the worst is how UEFA takes side with Barca all the time. I am cheering for RMD when those 2 teams are against eachother, but players like Marcello, Di Maria and Pepe are just stupidturds.

[Deleted]

I liked him in Inter, but I just didn't like what he did with RMD last year, forcing them to play bunker.

It's just not Spanish football.

But nonetheless I still respect him.

But still, Barcelona is not perfect aswell Their acting, whining and crying all the time makes me laugh so hard, just like little children.

But everyone has it's strategy.

[Deleted]

Huh.... what was that? Is he really 5 years old to poke someone like that? I know Mourinho loves to make trouble, but this.... And Marcelo, I think he just vented his frustration on Fabregas, its hard when you score an equalizer in 82. min just to receive another goal 6 mins later...

Barcelona fan here.
These last el-clasico`s have been ever so tiresome to me. Barcelona IS "filming" and acting out too much however to go to the extent of calling them cheaters and in-league with UEFA is to go to EXTREMES and it does`nt have any place in football. To believe that something like UEFA would take sides is prepastrous and beyond me.

RMD have changed these past years. I used to remember them as an honorable team and opponent, when they took their losses with a smile and had the mentality of "well, back up on the horse". Now, EVERYTIME they`ve lost to other teams and FCB IN PARTICULAR it´s always "Well we did get cheated on a penalty, and that red card was TOTALLY not legit, oh yea ps. UEFA is in league with FCB like 4 realz".

I guess you can`t clander there whole team, but Pepe, marcelo and mourinho were WAY out of line yesterday.
So yes RMD has changed, and francly I want the old one back. I want the close duels, the intensity and the honesty were the losing side could just say "well, not our day, well get em next time!"

Aceborn - you been living under a rock the past few years, FIFA & UEFA are as corrupt as they come, while it's not overly clearly they favour Barcelona, it is clear they favour the bigger nations of European football, UEFA would be happier than a pig in shit if they could limit their competitions to English, Spanish, Italian & German clubs! Barcelona have the players & ability to play any team on the planet off the park without resorting to diving & complaining they do, infact if anything it sticks in my throat more than Mouinho's antics to see players of their skillset & ability diving.

its tactical, if the press are always reporting about him and not his team. it completely lifts pressure off underperforming players as the press arnt talking about whether there playing well or not.

Personally i dont like spanish football because the quality after the first 2 teams is dire. let alone the diving and play acting, i thought the epl was bad until i started watching spanish football.

edit* just watched last vid... are you serious that thats a red card? Its late yes, wasnt lunging or crunching.. slowest tackle ever. zero chance thats actually hurt fabregas at all.

Well, it really doesnt matter if Fabregas felt pain. But that "tackle" came from behind fabregas and rabid Marcelo didnt even hit the ball, I am wondering if he wanted to hit the ball or Sesc.

If youve played football, you would know your trailing leg if you reach round like that is always going to come through. Clearly he completely missed the ball but it was not vicious and clearly did no damage at all, yellow card for from behind yes but no studs showing or anything.

[Grizzlerr]

how was the last one a dive at all? Messi's was probably a dive, although a little provoked, but the last one was almost criminal. Marcelo didn't even touch the ball, he got his legs from behind him. Watch it again and tell me that's not a red card, I mean that's exactly the kind of shit gets players seriously injured.

To everybody who still thinks its not a red card just look at 2:25.

I played football when I was a kid and believe me, I would get red card for this kind of tackle.

[methwow]

i also think the commentator on the last video said it all,
Shame madrid cant handle losing, they have been so used to it the past few years and this year will continue to lose to the best team in world.
forca barca

La Liga is a mediocre league with only 2 good teams, I dont really care about spanish football. Mourinho on the other hand is a brilliant manager.

Elementary school kids fall harder than that on a playground.

As someone that has loved football for over 20 years... I still can't help but laugh at how big of sissies they are.

[slashfart]

i love how most of the experienced players are just standing on the sides or breaking up the fights thinking 'what the f are u idiots doing'. if someone slaps you, let the referee know, have a word with the player, and get on with it.

have u all seen the video of mourinho poking the barca assistant coach in the eye. no wonder his team acts like a bunch of idiots.
