Terrorfex Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Taken from BBC.co.uk ... "Nothing is wrong with English football but you have to realise that this was by far the most difficult group. No other group had such quality in the fourth and fifth teams as Israel and Macedonia." Bilic is a muppet. Scotland's group anyone? Link to comment
uni_don Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I think he's quite clever. He's bigging England up now. Presumably he doesn't want to stay Croatia manager for the rest of his career, so will eventually move on. He spent a lot of his playing career in England, and that's where the major money is to be made, so he's just playing up to the English media/chairmen for when he attempts to move. Link to comment

Unfortunately for him he is not held in particularly high regard as a person in England, or in World Football in general. Was it not him who shamelessly got that French player sent off in 1998 who then missed the World Cup Final?? Shocking cheat. Link to comment

Was it not Laurent Blanc too? Link to comment

Jose Mourinho's a prat, but still a good manager. Bilic has beaten one of the supposed powerhouses of world football home and away, and stopped them from qualifying for their first major tournament in 14 years. For a country with a smaller population than Scotland, that's not bad. Link to comment

What a ***king crying shame for a player to miss winning the World Cup and in his home country too. (OUR!! ) Link to comment
E-P-K Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Laurent Blanc elbowed Bilic in the face. Bilic made the most of it. Blanc got sent off. Link to comment
Guest TenementFunster Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Still a/our ***t though. On a side note, skysports news is great fun this morning. Link to comment

Blanc got sent off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWwkvALBuUs See for yourself. Shouldn't have raised his hand, but the were jostling in the box. No elbows, just blatant cheating. Link to comment

No elbows, just blatant cheating. Blatant sending off as well, A direct strike to the face. Any defender in his position would have done the same. (Bilic) You see worse by Drogba most weeks in the EPL Link to comment

I'd forgotten it was even Blanc, but I just remember how sickening it was at the time. He shouldn't have raised his hand though. Still a wonderful manager though, young Slaven. Link to comment
