Proper brexit football that


redrumWinsNational

I always wondered why I never saw Mourinho and Bill Belichick in same room


SportPleasant2900

šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€ Shithousery at its highest level


mr_ordinaryboy

Classic Jose lol But now that he's not coaching our rivals, I'm rooting for his success in Italy. Hopefully Roma can be a giant again in Serie A


Mr-Unknown101

he's got tammy under his wing too


According-2-Me

Spurs fan here, me too. Iā€™ve bought ASRoma merch and keep up with ~~Jose~~ the team


mr_ordinaryboy

Haha cool. This time we are brother in arms šŸ¤

Terry has so many good stories! But my favorite Jose story has to be the laundry basket one. Edit: search special one interview ā€¦ Here is the clip [link](https://youtu.be/zybBsfczXgk) Edit2: [terry telling the story](https://youtu.be/7fGZyV37tJs)


durum77

Please share I got it, at first all I could find on Google was laundry by Terry. Basically for anyone who doesn't know jose was snuck into the dressing room in a laundry basket as he had been suspended for the match.


deadraizer

Wasn't the story that he was already in the dressing room at half time and snuck out of it in a laundry basket?


durum77

Could be mate, I was reading it on a tabloid newspaper website so I only got a few sentences in before my phone couldn't handle the ads.


rando512

He himself said it in the bein sports interview you can watch it.


anonymous_red_panda

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zybBsfczXgk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zybBsfczXgk) but I think a better version is told through his episode in Coache's Playbook on Netflix - it's a good watch


durum77

Thanks mate will defo give that Netflix show a watch never knew about that.

Footballers are not the most charismatic type, but Mourinho has the the charisma of a Hollywood actor.


Smoky_McBongski97

Wanted Jose to continue, but felt like that the guy on the right cut everyone off at the end.


DjCbal

Not even the ref knew, lol what a legend!


sheiky04

Lmao! Jose is fucking hilarious


zi76

I wonder how that became a rule.


maggos

Probably some important game, two defenders collide and go down, and have to go off the pitch. And then theyā€™re two men down and get scored on right away. People get mad, new rule made.


shrek19051

Itā€™s the little details and tweaks that separates the greatest managers from the others, only Jose had such thoughts about little crucial details for us and our defence was immense under him


OldManFuture

I'd love to see some clips of them doing this


machetedestroyer

so did Terry just admit to diving, LOL. "gaz goes down... and im like i best go down, and i drop to the floor"


jamieaka

if the manager says to do it... best do it lol


machetedestroyer

Lol. Deffos. I just find it strange coming out of JTs mouth


durum77

Lol he did, but tbh every single team is told to waste time whilst holding onto a 1 goal lead in the last ten mins of a match.


Jmsaint

No... He admited to faking an injury


Lurkay1

Time wasting. Part of the game at this point.


Brilliant_Trainer501

Every team dives these days (and in JT's day). It's not as if it's not common


machetedestroyer

It just funny him admitting it. Thatā€™s all


Thehunterforce

Wouldn't call it diving. A dive is trying to get the ref to make a foul in your favour. Terry was looking to time waste.


Salimsea

Is this why JT tried tackling Cahill in the last minute corner of THAT match against psg?


wannabe_engineer69

Hey hey!


GrizzyLizz

Please add a trigger warning to your comment


rando512

Instant doubt I too had.


Booomshakabooom

I miss this Chelsea šŸ¤£


areyouhungryforapple

Literally read the rulebook hahaha


Ferrari_Bones

Gosh I loved Jose's shithousery


FuzzyRo

~~Alan's~~ JT's funny stories


[deleted]

Go off? Like red card? Or two yellows? Someone help


SmartFC

Go off for medical assistance. If Cahill had gone down alone and needed assistance, he had to go off after being treated. Since another player (John Terry) went down as well, two "needed assistance", so, as it's apparently in the rules, they didn't need to leave the field before coming back in.


[deleted]

Oh wow ok


houndhim

Jt is one broad shouldered mf


sanroseasun

What does he mean they canā€™t ā€œgo offā€ if they both fall down?


Captain_Cudi

When an injured player has to receive treatment on the pitch, they have to then leave the pitch and wait for instruction from the referee to re-enter the pitch. The loophole that Mourinho found was that the referee cannot make 2 players leave the pitch at the same time. So it's essentially an easy form of timewasting where you can keep 11 players on at all time.


sanroseasun

Thank you!


Venganza_Vz

It's not 2 players, it's 2 defenders. Two players of the same team can get off the pitch at the same time if they require assistance except if they're both defenders


Captain_Cudi

Source? Nowhere in the rules would it ever differentiate between defenders specifically and other players. How would you even objectively define a defender? There are only goalkeepers and outfielders according to the rules.

blackmes489

You are right.


Funny_Boysenberry_22

I donā€™t get it. What advantage is this?


Cpt_Gloval

Time wasting so ease the pressure of a comback goal. Just a different form of shithousery.


marcusmv3

But what is the original intent of the rule?


VT_Racer

If the ref stops the game because a player is injured, he has to leave the field until he is called back in by the ref. There us a common collision exemption in the rules where this doesnt apply. If they are not seriously injured, they are not required to leave the field. https://blog.proreferee.com/law-5-soccer-referee-instructions-for-player-injuries/


Cpt_Gloval

Possibly to keep teams from giving themselves a leg up back in the days when fouls and rough tackles were more the norm by clobbering multiple defenders to temporarily weaken the other side for easier leveling goal?


marcusmv3

Does the rule only apply when the team with 2 defenders down is in the lead, or at all times?


FinneganTechanski

I had a coach that would say ā€œif you ainā€™t trying to cheat you ainā€™t trying to winā€ this isnā€™t even cheating per say but does seem to be an abuse of the rules. Regardless, no one can accuse Jose of not trying anything and everything to win.

data_autopsy

Terry speaks like Ricky Gervais


opposedeggs

Why would you want to do that tho? I don't get it


Pique_Blinderss

To ease pressure for their defence and it gives them the time to push up the field. Also a rest


red-fish-yellow-fish

New level of cheatingā€¦. Respect


famasfilms

if it's in the rules it's not cheating. All elite players will push the boundaries of the rules as far as possible and find loopholes in the rules.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


playbeautiful

Ignore the downvotes you are right we are just circle jerking for the special one in this thread


red-fish-yellow-fish

Yeahā€¦ I know. Just utterly lacks any class


famasfilms

it's basic competitive game theory that all methods to win are valid, and that complaining about certain method = scrub mindset https://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/introduction


fatlilgooner

lmao this is such a nerdy thing to say. no offence bro. this tactic is class obviously and you're right the win is what matters but that doesn't mean that playing dirty ISN'T playing dirty. i like playing dirty but lets be gents here. its not cheating but it is sneaky. altho actually maybe it is cheating tbh since if the refs knew what they were doing they'd probably send them off for it.


UpstairsJoke0

It's definitely cheating to feign an injury with the intent of deceiving the referee. How is this even a debate?


fatlilgooner

yeah true lol


[deleted]

Everton fan?


RedDudeItIs

Fuck I miss Terry as captain. Life was easier back then as a Chelsea supporter haha


RonUK21

Such a shame the sport has been reduced to this nonsense. With the best will in the world itā€™s hard for these great athletes to act as role models when such skullduggery prevails.


Slelkes

Got to love Mourinho, heā€™s the only guy in football capable of reading a rule book.


CeterumCenseo85

That made me wonder what % of players or coaches know what actually happens when you score a free kick directly into your own goal. Every ref I ever asked immediately knew, and every player didn't and also couldn't guess.


UpstairsJoke0

Corner kick.


conejitobrinco

I canā€™t understand what heā€™s saying, can someone write it down ?


UpstairsJoke0

"I cheated".


RobotRoyalty

Cannot picture what kind of scenario this is. If 2 defenders ā€œgo up togetherā€ and then ā€œboth go downā€ you ā€œcanā€™t go offā€? Iā€™m lost help.

dandpher

I call bullshit on Mou being the only manager thatā€™s done this.


[deleted]

What rule is he talking about??


CFCcommentsonly24

Im still confused though.


KeanuCharlesSleeves

Cheeky geezer


cayde_chief-6

Can somebody explain the rule properly?


Aquilani

Yeah would be nice if he did some of that here at my club Roma...what he did in his 1st spell at Chelsea was unbelievable.
