Riberry - Is he crap or just shite?

[drew]

What does everyone see in him? He is crap and for what it's worth, I thought the same at the last world cup. Granted, I don't watch much German football so can't comment on his season but don't think I've ever seen him have a fantastic game internationally.

 

[Easy 10]

He's not fit to lick the sputum from Robbens boots.

 

[Common as Mook]

Last world cup he was fantastique

 

[Spun Cuppa]

He'll be cut up at these comments

Trouble with France is they are a team of great individuals with a manager who cannot gel a team, therefore too many egos at war with each other.

Bit like Holland used to be.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

He is a quality player. I remember him ripping England to shreds a couple of years ago. Owen's last game I think.

Don't think his head is right at the moment!

 

[Gav1901]

Obviously Ribery is a good footballer and has bags of talent otherwise he wouldn't be where he is in his career but like someone else said , France are a team full of great internationals but don't exactly play well together i think Ribery just needs more support then anything .

 

[Gerbil]

Ribery is quality, theres no denying that.
However France are pony.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

He is a good player but France are a very poor side atm.

Ribery is their main creative player (especially in the Uruguay match as they didn't play a winger on the other wing) therefore its easier for the opposition to deny him space and to mark him out of the game, therefore making him look ineffective.

I was so looking forward to the game... Got bored and cleaned the cat's litter tray halfway through.

What a dire match think Ribery was having an off day i have seen him at his best but he's doing his best Holroyd impression at the moment

Ribery is a good player normally, but was dreadful tonight.

Isn't he up on some rape case at the moment?

dont think it was a rape - but he was, along with several frogs, involved in some sort of sex scandal with underage prostitutes

he is a quality player - but even the best players in the world are going to struggle to do anything with a manager who wont pick leo's in defence or scorpios at all due to being an amateur astrologist

France is reeling Monday from news that two of its most famous internationals, Franck Ribéry and Sidney Govou, are being questioned in connection with a prostitution scandal.

The murky story centres on the exclusive Zaman nightclub close to the Champs Elysées in Paris, which is a popular destination with French football stars and other celebrities. The club has been the target of the elite BRP police unit – which is the French equivalent of the vice squad – due to suspicions that the venue was providing under-age prostitutes to its customers.

The scandal also involves a shady character known as Abou, who is reportedly the pimp in the under-age prostitution ring. Abou is already, rather bizarrely, known in France. Abou auditioned for the highly popular TV show Nouvelle Star, which is the French equivalent of the X Factor and American Idol.
It has been reported that a minor of Moroccan origin “worked” for Abou and reportedly spent time with several Les Bleus players. If it is proven that any of the players slept with this young girl, it will mean a three-year prison sentence in a French jail.

Perhaps thats due to his haircut!!!!!

 

[Napper]

Might be worth a bet on France. I remember the last WC they drew 0 - 0 with Switzerland then drew with the mighty South Korea before smashing Spain , Brazil and Portugal on route to the final
That many top class players are far to dangerous to write off. Bit of siege mentality will probably set in as well I suspect

French Football Sex Scandal Worse Than Ours?? - North Stand Chat

I am surprised it didn't twig that she was young. Look at the size of her compared to a small wine glass?

 

[cheesy77]

He was shockingly bad yesterday. I've always thought he was over-rated.
Plus he is someone who can rival Andrew Lloyd Webber for the ugliest man in the world award.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Runs about a lot

 

[murphy's law]

Hasn't been the same player since an injury I heard.
