    Three days of official mourning? I’ve heard it all now.

    Chuckle chuckle.

    Right..., Joe...

    Maybe a bit too little...

    Considering that you Engrish will give twelve days of official mourning to a sweet little old lady...

    Time when..., I at least..., will observe an adequate silence...

    I will never understand the idolisation of a pigs-bladder kicker, but three days of mourning for a cocaine advert?

    I saw him surrounded by a crowd of fans on the way to the gates at EZE one day. Perhaps everyone was trying to buy coke before their flights.

    MercoPress strikes again, they can't help themselves being the rude propagandist sneakily third rate pamphlet they are. I've been hearing from every country, Britain, Spain, Italy, America, Russia... simply put, the greatest player there ever was. But what does Mercoshxt say? “Considered one of the greatest football players in recent times”, because they simply have an impassible glass wall they can't go beyond to even once be kind or at least objective to Argentina, yet they have the shameless nerve to barricade themselves in our sibling nation so that they can falsely suggest to the reading public they are part of MercoSur, while they exist to spite Argentina against their main aim of promoting a projected vision of what they want the world to believe that little bog pile island of scornful denying British “occupationists” are.
    Oh, @Joe Bloggs, I bet your phony little treacherous scum packed mouth had a very different tone and language to Argentinians while you were in Argentina, compared to how you now so cowardly boast about speaking of Argentina on this lying, ... totally lying about themselves, unworthy of being called journalistic internet publication.

    The Government of Alberto De La Rua paralyzed the country destroying its economy due to the coronavirus. “To protect the health of Argentines,” they said. Those who proposed less extreme measures were treated as “murderers” and accused: “you care more about money than life.”

    Now, they organize an official and multitudinous act for the death of an athlete. An athlete proved to be a bad, and selfish, person off the court . A proven female hitter.

    Argentina is slipping, not only towards poverty, but also towards the absence of moral values. Thanks to Peronism.

    Oh dear. The deadbeats are upset.

    There is an interesting interview that Maradona did in 1986 in which he openly admitted the hand ball goal but denied it was cheating. He said it was cheeky and clever but not cheating. It helps explain why the Argentines admire him so much.

    I can sort of excuse that and I can understand why people would love him as a footballer, but after he went off the rails and hit drugs and women, he should have lost all credibility with any respectable fan.

    Mr. Joe Bloggs...

    ...... after a certain person went on record in here at MercoPress..., stating that Royal Marine Alan Addis ***“ had it coming”*** because he flirted with one of the locals..., he has no credibility with any respectable human being...

    Capisce...?

    Bobby Moore was head and shoulders above the drug soaked little cheat. Great footballer, inspirational leader and a gent. But in a nation populated by sly cheats I Think a big celebration is quite normal.

    Interesting Brutish combination above...

    1) An Anglo turnip in Malvinas..., on record for rejoicing over the murder of 19 years old Engrish Royal Marine Alan Addis by three covard Kelpers... just for looking at a local lass ass...

    2) Another Anglo Turnip taking the identity of a known Brutish cheat..., alcoholic and wife murderer...

    3) Both paying the typical Brutish “respect” to a newly deceased that played football like a
    God...

    Upset deadbeats clutching at straws.

    So Think. Marine Addis was murdered, was he? You must know something nobody else seems to.

    Poor old Think.

    Don't worry Jo...

    I know just what many in Britain know (including all Kelpers over 60...)...:
    ***“ .... several of the aforementioned interviewees expressed their view that Addis had been murdered without premeditation in a fight over a woman, after which the body was allegedly transported out of the settlement. ”***
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Royal_Marine_Alan_Addis#2018_Forces_TV_Documentary

    Now that I hear that the last of them Kelper murderers has left us..., is it anything you would want to come clean with...?

    Poor old Think.

    There’s no evidence of any foul-doing, and you know it.

    Have you shed a tear over the loss of your coke-snorting, woman-beating, cheating footballer yet?

    Sweet little Jo...

    Of course there is no evidence of any foul-doing..., laddie...

    Them Kelpers killed the Engrish boy and fed the evidence to the dogs...
    A couple of weeks later they killed a Kelper witness that was going to snitch them to the coppers...
    And subsequently they had no big trouble in having you other cowards in them windblown Islands to keep your mouth shot...

    After all..., as you are on record in here saying... ***“ The boy had it coming ”***..., right...?
