In case anyone was thinking of bidding in the live auction 
Overnight news reports are that online bids so far have taken it to this new level (which seems an obscene amount of money to me, I just hope Hodge gives some of the proceeds to charity)

There was this little talked about moment when Diego may have slightly cheated. I assume that's what you're talking about!
I remember watching it and being absolutely livid. Mind you, if we'd have done what Argentina would have done and brought him down on the halfway line prior to the second goal, we'd have possibly gone on to progress.
I had no real issue with Maradona cheating after a while, same as I don't remember Henry for what he did to Ireland, but the whole gloating about it annoyed me, although given the very recent history with Argentina at that time, you can understand that to a degree - whether Diego was ultimately right or wrong. | | | |

I wasn’t sure if the injustice comment was about that or the fact that 6 million for a shirt is a tad expensive.
Not for one second do I think that he thought he would actually get away with it. It was so blatant, so clear cut that it wasn’t even cheating. He wheeled away more in sheer audacity than thinking the goal would be allowed.
Now fast forward to the second half and I think it was Fenwick who smashed his elbow into his face - now that, in my opinion at least, was much much worse as that incident could have led to ending Diego’s career. But no one mentions that as cheating. [Post edited 4 May 2022 13:32]

English rose tinted glasses are always the best.
I'm English and there are certain things I'm proud about and a lot that I'm not necessarily that happy with, but anything remotely hypocritical gets right up my hooter.
The ability to decide we should have a penalty for a questionable handball whilst being adamant all six of the other teams goals should have been ruled out is so irritating in modern football fans.
As you say Maradona didn't think he'd get away with it, then he did and he milked it for all it was worth. People hide behind him deserving what Fenwick dished out when it was a lot more calculated.
It never changes though. A Newcastle fan urinated on a Sunderland statue and fans actually gave out the guys address and were justifying people going to sort him out on the basis he'd done something disgusting in the first place. Genuinely how most England fans at the time justified assaults on Maradona afterwards. | | | |

Precisely!
Obviously I don't condone elbows or any other violent 'afters'. | |

I agree with all you said. But considering the handball was 36 years ago suggests that being irrational isn’t just a modern thing. | | | |
