Footballers.... they are the worst

Alright folks,

What with David Nugent and Irish under-21 international Marc Wilson getting in a bit of bother involving a fight which sounds nearly as dumb as the duelling scene in Flash Gordon (only involving wardrobe rails), I thought it was time to throw out a quick request to name the biggest scobes in football.

There’s got to be some out there beyond the obvious skangers (Joey Barton, Craig Bellamy et al) and frankly it can be based on nothing more than a random dislike you may have. I, for instance, have the sneaking suspicion that, after a few pints of Stella, Paul Scholes is a right bastard. I kind of respect him all the more for it too.

Elsewhere, I always had the feeling that both Muzzy Izzet and Paul Telfer liked to beat up those with less money than them and talk far too loudly in restaurants. I have a strong feeling that majority of the Scottish squad import Class A drugs to boot. Of course, I’ve no evidence to back up any of the above, because well it’s all untrue; the lot of them just get on my nerves so they’d make it onto my skanger list.

On another note, I find it hard to paint many foreign players with the scumbag brush as Ireland and Britain just have that natural leaning towards drunken hysterics and violent scenes involving kebabs, karaoke and, most likely, Danielle Lloyd. Call it the Neil Ruddock syndrome. So, if you can think of any foreign entries to this race, some names would be very welcome to add something to the mix.

Anyway, get your suggestions in – myself and Mark are doing a podcast over the weekend so we’ll try and piece together the ODF Scumbag 11.

Thinking caps on folks, send us your biggest scobes operating today along with classic skangers of yesteryear (not to mention random libellous allegations that might amuse) all are welcome.

Later, JJ
