Drogba drama queen spazzing like he was dying

redpie

What was all the leg twitching about?
Should have been a straight red for epileptic simulation.

To be fair, I think he was genuinely winded and probably in a lot of pain.

Difficult to stay in control when you are trying to breathe again.

Makki

To be fair, he probably broke a rib.

pillory

I was genuinely scared for a few seconds.

fadas

I was scared too Pillory. And my worst fears were realised when he actually wasn't dead.

Great shot of Vidic laughing his head off on the touchline too.

R_Nick

Was really quite worried, I can't afford to make two subs in my FF team and I need to change a defender.

Magic United

Vidic found it quite funny though

Pogue Mahone

He's always been a massive drama queen. Absolutely no reason not to assume it was more of the same.

If not, fuck him. Boy who cried wolf and all that.

Crerand Legend

Maybe , but after all his cheating antics in the past whenever he got a serious injury nobody believed the prat

Sam#1

Tbf that would have hurt...a LOT

Sylar

The shaking looked a bit OTT.

I thought it was funny how he was in agony being helped off, VDS had a go at him and he managed to get enough strength to turn around and shout something at Eddie, then turned back clutching his ribs.

I'd love to see some you hard men posters get kicked in the chest and walk it out like nothing happened

antihenry

You are cunt. That is all.

apple-shampoo

Oh, I didn't believe him until I saw the replay.

Hence why I thought this thread was a little unnecessary.

It would have been funny to see if Rooney/Terry would have reacted to the stud in the chest the same way

Crerand Legend

Perhaps you should send him a sympathy card

Pogue Mahone

Internet posters being mean to Didier Drogba, the poor delicate flower.

It's a fucking disgrace!

Alex

Agree with that, magnificent player though one of the best strikers in the world

esmufc10

Yeah but no-one is more deserving of pain than him.

Spoony Youngblood

I've dropped 140kgs on my chest in the past - and I didn't react like I was having a fit. Your man's a fanny.

MrMarcello

Considering the amount of times he has gone down in "agony," serves the cunt right to finally have a taste of some true agony.

Pogue Mahone

And even if it did hurt, was there any need for the pseudo-seizure? It was embarrassing to watch.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who's ever experienced extreme pain, in sports or otherwise and I'm speaking as a bit of a soft cnut, if I'm honest. Nonetheless, I've broken my nose, fingers, ribs and ankle, as well as needing 30 stitches in a gash in my foot and never put on such a ridiculous display. Has anyone else?

That's why you could tell Drogba was just doing his usual drama queen shtick. If you ever watch a player get genuinely badly hurt, they tend to just lie quite still, holding the bit that hurts, maybe raise an arm for the physio. If you see someone acting like Drogba, you can be fairly confident there's fuck all wrong with them. No great surprise he was promptly back on the pitch.

I was just disappointed that Evans didn't take his head off.

MUFCgal

I wasn't. I don't care who you are or who you play for, if I think a player is seriously injured or in danger, I get scared and don't like it. I can't stand Terry but back when he got that boot in the face against Arsenal and was flat out, for a moment I was scared because he was down and so still. Fuck sake I thought he wasn't breathing or something but Drogba tonight looked so OTT. The leg shaking was very dramatic. Didn't stop him going to walk off, then turning to go back and give off to somebody. Drogba gets studs to the chest, lies there and fakes shaking, Vidic gets studs to the chest, gets up and shows his war scars.

Alex

That was because you were fucking that 140 kgs

Spoony Youngblood

I've dropped your mum on my chest?

Rahul

Embarrassing

Although i liked the fact that Evans got him twice

The legs are hilarious, surely gif worthy

CircusMonkey

I thought it was quite funny,
We all have played football and all have had injuries, some will have had some serious ones. And all of our team mates/mates all no doubt thought it was fucking hilarious as we rolled around in agony.
Hes a big strong guy, he'll recover.

I was in the pub watching and all the United fans were in tears, if i would have stopped everybody to call them all cunts for laughing at Drogba...
i wonder what reaction i would have got.

UBERScholes

I thought it was funny. In fairness, if Drogba was rolling around on the floor on fire you'd think he was making a meal of it, can't take the guy seriously

Psmith

That really was a disgraceful challenge.

Can't believe the ref gave Drogba a yellow

adexkola

I have dropped 200 lb on my chest while benching, I couldn't walk tight for 2 days, hurt like a bitch

vuc

Vidic got pretty much the same challenge from Michah Richards, and it was Richards who was on the floor injured.

Terry would have took it like a Big Man.

Raees

I remember that one!

datura

I've seen similar challenges by keepers when forwards have been looking to jump into them to get a cheap shot. It was a ball Drogba was never going to win, he was looking to make a dangerous challenge out of frustration, which is why he was booked.

It's had to say whether there was intent on Evans' behalf, but it didn't look good. Thankfully the ref saw it so there can be no retrospective action as far as I know.

CR#7

tbf Drogba is a cunt and deserved it.

Raoul

Drogba's theatrics have really made him a caricature of himself.

fadas

For fucks sake.

MrMarcello

For example, compare Alan Smith to Drogba. Smith suffered a horrendous injury. He just laid there in shock, which is what normally happens in such a serious injury. Not flailing around near death. That's theatrics to influence an official into a caution or sending off, which is cheating in my book. I hated it when Ronaldo did it and Nani does it.
