Get a life , after all the good wishes opposing fans gave Fergie you would have to be a total git to wish bad on Hoddle
He didn't wish bad on him, you knob.

Really? I can think of so many incidents that disprove that...Oh give over. We all want him to get well but there's humour in everything.
Yes he did. Many, many times.no its not.
He never apologised to disabled people who he said were being punished for sins in a past life, therefore he is fair game
Good watch, great player.How much could England do with a midfielder like him now?
As a player, he was born about 30 years too early.
Yes he did. Many, many times.
I’m not wishing bad on anybody...I’m just making a joke about it...Get a life , after all the good wishes opposing fans gave Fergie you would have to be a total git to wish bad on Hoddle
Back away from his beliefs? He believes in karmic reincarnation, like hundreds of millions of people around the world. Of course he is not going to change his religion because some people don't agree with it.dont mean to be picky but he didnt.
He apologised for causing offence by voicing his beliefs but didnt back away from his beliefs.
indeed we are.Some really awful comments in here. If one is 'fair game' because of stupid or inappropriate things they've said before, then surely we all are.
World class midfielder in his day, and there's not been a better England manager since him. Get well soon Glenn.
He made stupid comments about disabled people 20 years ago. It cost him his job & he's apologised multiple times. People need to stop being so fecking tasteless. Have you never said anything mean & stupid in your life? Exactly.
No. I have never said anything that fcuking stupid.He made stupid comments about disabled people 20 years ago. It cost him his job & he's apologised multiple times. People need to stop being so fecking tasteless. Have you never said anything mean & stupid in your life? Exactly.
There's a time and a place...People papering over cracks of shitty human beings is an illness of society.

No. What I'm saying should be obvious. This isn't an appropriate thread and time to be calling Hoddle names and so on. It's fine to believe a comment he made 20 years ago means that he's still an asshole today but this isn't a great time or place to express that. Sometimes best just to keep quiet when others are saddened that he is in critical condition. Just basic social sensitivity; it's not rocket science.are you saying now is the time and place to paper over?
You're saying something people think is stupid now...No. I have never said anything that fcuking stupid.
Great footballer.
Above Average manager.
Shitty belief system.

AgreedFeck me.
Think of the times that people close to you; parents, grandparents have said derogatory, outdated or unacceptable things in their lives. Then imagine others taking glee and delight in their sickness and death. Judging them only on the stupid things they've said, defining them only by their mistakes.
You go ahead and enjoy your vengeful rants. A man with a family is very sick. This thread is a trainwreck.

I'd say that this comment was pretty stupid, to be honest mate.No. I have never said anything that fcuking stupid.

What part is stupid?You're saying something people think is stupid now...
Why?Wrong thread.
I do believe what he said was reprehensible (as far as reported). However, two wrongs don't make a right. I don't pretend to know or like Hoddle. He made a great impact on English football and helped relaunch the careers of many young players who otherwise would be out the game through his academy in Spain. I don't know if he's contrite about his views from 20 years ago or even if he was quoted properly.Only if you believe that what he said isnt one of the most disgusting things to say and believe.
If you believe exactly the opposite as I do, its exactly the time to do it.
Its also the place to do it. Its a public forum.
If I was communicating directly with his family and friends obviously I wouldnt be bringing this up, but as I say this is a public forum.
its not rocket science.
I dont have to imagine that.Feck me.

What doesn't help was that the joke was shit.I’m not wishing bad on anybody...I’m just making a joke about it...

My posts have also done that. I do hope he recovers and lives a long life.I do believe what he said was reprehensible (as far as reported). However, two wrongs don't make a right.

You have the freedom of speech to show disdain for him and you're right this is a public forum. However, I and others find it pretty distasteful and unnecessary when the guy might well be close to death's door at a fairly young age. What are these critical comments achieving? No one's calling him a saint; just expressing sympathy as collapsing in a TV studio on your 61st birthday is a pretty shitty thing to happen for him and his family. It's wise to be publicly sensitive especially with the other football related disaster today. I think sometimes it's good just to button it and hold your views to yourself.
