Anon Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 What a way to go out. Embarrassing yourself and your team with a ludicrous piece of theater. I'm only surprised he didn't request the team's name be changed to John Terry FC. Is there any other center back in football who would act like such a diva?

I just tried watching a clip of them discussing it on final score, but couldnt get over the fact that even in widescreen i couldnt see all of Garth Crooks.

He apparently spoke to Conte before the game and asked to be subbed on 26 minutes because that's his shirt number. If I was Chelsea manager he would've been removed from the team sheet entirely. It's not a big issue, but it's just so pointlessly demeaning to the opposition and the game in general. Surely it would've been perfectly adequate to do the guard of honour at the end of the game?

When my mum retired she had worked for the same company for nearly 30 years and never even got a bunch of flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbados Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Vile, manipulative individual. No doubt his smug, self righteous, slimey self will be plastered all over the tv as a pundit in the near future. Certainly up there with the biggest b***ends The premier league has had to endure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmycock Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 According to BBC he was subbed on 28 minutes, so that worked well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tibbs Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 According to Moyesy they were yeah. Another tedious, cringeworthy moment in our modern game. I wouldn't have minded the 26th minute sub if they'd had just left it at that but to then stop the game for minutes and do a guard of honour.. nah, you're alright. What's with every man and his dog having a go on the mic nowadays too?! Just had SSN on and it went from Terry to Conte to Cahill having their own superstar diva moment on the mic. Haven't moved for the remote that fast in my life. What has Cahill actually got to say? Jeeeeeesus. Shut up already. We're approaching NFL levels of "live performance" rather than live sport. I don't even think I'm being old fashioned, I'm 26 ffs but it's all starting to do my head in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to mention anything about Terry's achievements in my last post, thanks for the reminder. Whilst maybe not the most likeable guy for opposing fans you can't knock his career. He's been a catalyst for Chelsea's recent successes. One of the best CB's I've ever seen and a beast of a goalscorer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbob Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 What was the referee doing allowing these shenanigans. At the end of the game, fair enough but during? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Regardless of your opinion on him as a person, footballing ability wise we could do with another English CB coming through the ranks in the style of him. Probably the best CB within the PL era, shame he's a ******. Thought it was actually quite classy for John Terry to point the attention to Steve Holland too. He's done a lot of good work at Chelsea and is leaving for a permanent role with England, but that was all forgotten about because of JT. Didn't think I would use classy and John Terry in the same sentence, that'll probably be the last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
