SHHH! Or you’ll be in trouble
Normally this statement would make sense; however ‘SHHH and you WILL be in trouble’ is more appropriate when talking about Sunday’s carling cup final and Chelsea’s coach José Mourinho. When did censorship start controlling every action seen by the public eye? What happened to freedom of speech? Oh yes, only the wrong kind of people can exercise their right to freedom of speech, everyone else has to keep their mouths shut and their fingers in their pockets.
Since when does holding your finger over your mouth in a shushing motion warrant being sent off the field? If you still don’t know what I’m talking about, I’m referring to mourinho being asked to leave the pitch during post match celebrations because he was said to be provoking the liverpool supporters. If he was or if he wasn’t, how does shushing warrant being sent off the field in the middle of his first victory for Chelsea?
Please comment on this post and let me know if you think it was right for him to be sent off, or if those responsible for him being sent off should have their tongues cut out.

Dude, I don't know how much of English football history you know, but they have a bad reputation for football hooliganism and post match violence in this country. The liverpudlians have an especially bad temperament when it comes to this. Therefore, any act to taunt the crowd could spark violence, and obviously this is frowned upon. It's up to the powers that be to judge whether any act infringes on this "taunt-law", and in this case, your man was found wanting.
ok I'll just keep quiet now.

Thats the point I was trying to make, if one man puting a finger over his mouth is going to agravate fans then they shoudlnt be there, plain and simple. Why should he have to pay for others ignorance and stupidity, he won, he can do what he wants.

bottom line: do you think it was justified that mourinho was sent off while celebrating his victory?

dont talk bollie. people are way too sensitive these days, if a shush is supposed to cause mass histeria then theres something seriously wrong with the world today (although this is obvious).

1. Better crowd control would prevent 'skulls being bashed in' after all theres more than enough money to go around in UK football.
2. Why should one person have to suffer and not enjoy his moment of victory because of a few thugs?
3. To be perfectly honest, I dont care at all about football or the fans, I just think its wrong when you cant celebrate properly because of a few over-excited people, when normal people win at something, its natural to taunt the other side, this is always done and everyone has a laugh. Only in european football do riots break out, so surely something has to change over here.

Only slightly related, but I've always liked the (overly simplistic) cliché that:
"Rugby is a game played by hooligans to be watched by gentlemen; Football is a game played by gentlemen to be watched by hooligans."

I thought it was "Football is a gentlemans game played by hooligans, and Rugby is a hooligans game played by gentleman.", but maybe its just a different version.
With regards to the sale of the dodgy chicken shop, I wouldnt want anything keeping me in this country, so Id have to decline your offer, but thanks anyways. ha ha
