The Mourinho Thread

[Muzchap 8,966]

I don't think its against the rules to 'insult' a football player, otherwise their would be no members on this forum.

Sure it's not against the rules - but insulting a decent Chelsea player like Essien is never the best way to endear yourself to the Chelsea faithful. Yes, we all agree his best years are behind him, and if wasnt for the TOXIC dressing room at Real Madrid, he wouldn't have played as much as he did... But it's about squad depth - if he can do a job for us next season with us being able to rest some players in Carling Cup, or weaker opposition if winning - then I'm happy for him to come on. At least he plays with desire - unlike Mikel - now watch me get flamed

I guess opinions are like arseholes - everyone's got one - but nobody likes hearing another persons

What Sam said may not be right but it's a different case altogether when abusing/insulting other member(s) And don't need to stoke up anymore fires than it already has.

And why such disgraceful comments should be allowed ? Its not against the rule to insult publicaly a player of our club, without any reason ?

Well I did give a reason, and I looked at the forum rules, nothing specific about 'insulting' a player, so no.

You must be paranoid, I was talking with BluesMaster.

Edit: Sorry for this big derailed thread.

Last time Jose (with help from Drogba) sorted out our phobia of facing Arsenal.

Now he needs to do the same with City.

Could have been interpreted as addressing both

Get a room you two...

Rafa has gone, got his new job sorted. Nothing in the way except the end of real's season to stop us announcing it. So if you could do that sharpish that would be greatly appreciated.

You really should become a moderator for this forum.

Admittedly, his first post about Essien 2 pages ago didn't start off very well but after that he has not really used any abusive words in his argument even though he was aggressive with it.

Haha thanks man - but I'm not at Mod level - hats off to those guys

I think Sam + Blue would agree over a beer, just always tricky on a forum - nobody ever wants to back down

Try and give my view and throw in a dodgy joke - seems to do the trick

Didnt start off very well is very kind.Anyway, this story is dusted for me, to be fair i'm honestly frustrated that some of his words are not sanctioned but its not up to me.I believe we should not insult players without reasons, and surely not because their body isnt the same than four years ago.Free insults should not be tolerated as its results of some unpredictable answers & issues.

Let's not act like everyone is innocent here when the likes of Torres, Benayoun, Benitez etc have all received the same treatment in their time with the club.

Sam didn't explain his reasons for his supposed hate on Essien in his first post but eventually got into to it. And there is a bloody difference between insulting and being aggressive here.

Good job on being objective here.

You have a point, we insult Torres Rafa and Yossi all the time.

I gave him the chance to explain, and he did, his first comment on a former player were in my opinion insulting not being aggressive.Anyway, Torres, Benayoun, Benitez are not Essien, simple.

Yes but as I said, we are all guilty of doing the same. Had Sam continued doing what he did from there, then the outcome here would have been different.

Anyway, Torres, Benayoun, Benitez are not Essien, simple.

But isn't that the problem here? Just because they are not Essien, doesn't mean Torres, Benayoun, Benitez etc deserve to receive the abuse/insult they have been getting. People are all getting a tad worked up because it's Essien and someone we like. Like really, if people can dish out abuse/insult or post negative points about players they don't like, then they should be able to take some on the players they like and not moan at the first sight of it!
