Is it Maradona's time? 1:22pm on 29 Oct 2008 MOYESYSIDE - someone else who thinks Maradona let his COUNTRY down??? Where is this coming from?

I know many Argentineans and although they all believe he perhaps let himself down on a few occasions, never will they accept that Maradona disgraced his country? That's ridiculous...
Is it Maradona's time? 12:13pm on 29 Oct 2008 aggersforcaptain - regarding that goal. I stand by my comments...

He made a wonderful run, played a brilliant one-two with Steve Hodge, continued his run then had the brilliance to realise that he was too short to beat Shilton to the ball with his head, so he flicked his arm out - genius.

I know this is technically against the rules but it wasn't seen by the officials and it stood...

I also have to say, he also showed skill when responding to media questions surrounding the goal.
Is it Maradona's time? 11:09am on 29 Oct 2008 Subterranean, realMir, matchboxmaster, U13299637 - at last some intelligent comments from people who understand the situation.

There are a lot of people who are ignorant regarding the type of man Maradona actually is. His past mistakes have only made him stronger and more determined to succeed for the country he adores. He is admired for being a leader, standing up for his beliefs and overall, his god-like footballing ability.

For those that are still dwelling on the hand-ball goal 22 YEARS AGO - get a life. He played you off the park that day and the skill he showed for that goal and more-so the second goal was unbelievable. It was all the more sweet for the Argentinean people because that game was against England.
Is it Maradona's time? 10:16am on 29 Oct 2008 WordsofWisdom - are you saying that generally people from the "Ghetto" don't know how to behave or handle themselves? That's a tad disrespectful if you ask me...

And can you explain how Maradona disgraced his country? Surely lifting the World Cup as captain after the greatest ever individual display of footballing genius in a tournament is no disgrace...

WordsofWisdom - Your post reeks of ignorance.... not wisdom
Is it Maradona's time? 09:45am on 29 Oct 2008 Maradona is a legend. He's my all time footballing hero. As a Scotland fan I'm looking forward to him appearing at Hampden next month (it's where he scored his first international goal and he genuinely loves the place).

The only worry I have with this appointment is that it is putting Maradona in the limelight again - where he is most vulnerable. The first little mistake will be jumped on and every move he makes will be scrutinised. He is also liable to start shooting his mouth off and digging a deeper hole for himself if he is criticised too much. Luckily, he has a great Argentina side to manage on the field. I believe them to be the best in the world (despite their position in qualifying) and Maradona can only make them gel stronger (his coaches can deal with the technical aspects).

Oh... and regarding the "is is" situation. I think it's discraceful that this was allowed to go past the editor before the article was posted... First Russel Brand and now this.... what is the BBC coming to?... ;-)
Scots must make Norway pine for fjords 4:14pm on 07 Oct 2008 Chick- the only team to go away from Hampden with any points in the last 3 YEARS have been Italy. Prior to them it was Belarus in 2005.

So I'd say our Home record has been pretty decent recently...

Have some faith wee man - a wee win on Saturday will put a smile on your face for once...
