Des Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 LOL Quote GINOLA THREATENS HOULLIER LEGAL ACTIONPosted 23/06/10 09:42 David Ginola has threatened to sue Gerard Houllier after the former France manager once again blamed him for Les Bleus' failure to qualify for the 1994 World Cup. Ginola became the scapegoat after a cross in the last qualifying match against Bulgaria was too long and their opponents broke to score a shock winner. Houllier, who was France coach at the time, placed the blame squarely at Ginola's feet and has reiterated that several times, including in a television show broadcast at the beginning of this month. And the former Tottenham winger has had enough. "In 2010, 17 years after, when I see the same person go on television and talk about this event where they treated me like a criminal for too long a cross, I'm sorry, I find this over the top," Ginola told L'Equipe. "It's enough! Until my death they are going to talk to me about this! "If at the time Gerard Houllier hadn't said these type of things, they wouldn't talk to me about this now. "It affects my personal life, my children, it affects a lot of things, it's intolerable. "Now, it's enough. I'm so sick of it...I have decided to press charges."

muleskinner Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) Ginola f***ed up massively, does he tell his kids that part? I'm sure the life he has provided with his earnings a footballer offer some comfort during these extremely dark moments they must suffer. What charge can be brought for having an opinion that can't be disproved? Edited June 23, 2010 by muleskinner

Maybe he should have gone the corner with the ballMaybe Barnesy should have in 89There is no need for GH to go on about that one incident as much

smithdown Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 It was Paul Stewart-esque though. Sh*t, can he sue me now for everything I've said about that goal he gifted Mark Hughes?

And don't go bringing up Barnesy not going for the corner again please, I've not long stopped occasionally crying myself to sleep about it.

BG Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Yep it's pretty poor from GH to have fixed the blame on one player like that (it's hardly like he gave it away doing a drag back in his own six yard box either) and certainly to be still going on about it 15 years later.
Nebraska Red Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 bloody French can't let anything slide. they are still pissed at the Brits and Yanks for liberation and introducing them to deodorant, miserable c****.
Tosh Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 If Ginola is a crim, what does that make the "team" that turned out for their last three matches?

goodrobotusses Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 GH is just bitter that Ginola didn't try to win a corner in an El-Hadji Diouf stylee. The French were one away from having the most corners in that group. Damn you, Ginola, you murderer.
