QUOTE(Duke Red @ Mar 19 2008, 09:11 AM) Call me old fashion, but I'd rather my captain remain composed throughout the match. Ronaldo was weeping but he wasn't captain so that doesn't bother me the slightest. If he was however, he has to keep his emotions in check for the benefit of the team. His players would all have been really down and he has to be the one to pick them up. If he is in tears, can you imagine what the other players that look up to him feel like? Shedding bucketloads is an emotional display that can show passion, but it can also come across as a display of weakness, and lack of composure, depending on how you look at it. It is in my opinion that captains be the first to congratulate their vanquishers and give his team a pat on the back, or a roasting depending on how they played. To be fair, he cried after the game and not during the game. And these are the games like the final of Euro and Semi finals of World Cup which is very important. Lots of captain cried after losing a very important game.Comparing Gerrard's credentials with Ronaldo's at this point, is a little absurd. Gerrard is no angel but neither was Roy Keane.  QUOTE(ky_khor @ Mar 19 2008, 09:23 AM) dictionary.com 1. So is King Cantona and we loved him sooo much. upstart: 1. an arrogant or presumptuous person 2. a person who has suddenly risen to a higher economic status but has not gained social acceptance of others in that class muahahaha  2. Hmm, didn't he like won every award which was voted by fellow professionals in the BPL last season? I guess that means he was accepted by others in that class.  |

Gerrard was visibly distraught as well after the loss in Athens. Even the likes of him might not be able to deny he shed a tear or two after the game, whether in the pitch or in the dressing room.

It is in my opinion that captains be the first to congratulate their vanquishers and give his team a pat on the back, or a roasting depending on how they played. Yet both of them are marvellous captains. My point was that a captain need not have his emotions kept in check. Both of the former whined, had lots of things to say and were at times unprofessional. Still, they are labelled as the best in their department. Some of you saying Ronaldo does not deserve the armband becoz he cried and is an, I quote, "emo kid" is utterly ridiculous. Comparing Gerrard's credentials with Ronaldo's at this point, is a little absurd. Gerrard is no angel but neither was Roy Keane. That said, I don't think he will be captain one day, simply becoz there are better candidates in the squad. This post has been edited by Hevrn: Mar 19 2008, 10:11 AM |

When it comes to emotions, I'm not just talking about crying. Same goes when players argue with the ref. The last thing you'd want is for your captain to be sent off for persistently harassing the ref, something that Terry does. No offence but I've noticed him doing that a few times. Captains should be pulling their teammates away from confrontation in order to prevent them from being sent off, not encouraging them by doing so themselves. Like I said though, it's just my opinion. I may be wrong.

There are pros and cons to a vocal captain. You wouldn't want a captain to stay back and keep quiet about it when a decision doesnt go your team's way, yet you don't wanna lose your most influential player on the pitch.

bit later will be a good time to judge whether he could be a (good) captain or not, based on the official line-up, he is supposed to be the captain tonite.
