“He just winds people up that lad, Richarlison. He winds me up. What do you expect Johnson to do? You’re not condoning that but…”“I would not want my players to do that; to do what Richarlison did,” he said. “But if that is acceptable at Spurs, it is nothing to do with me. But it would not be accepted here, that is for sure.”
Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte, however, backed his player. “At the moment I was with the bench because I was making another substitution,” said the Italian. “I think he juggled with the ball. ”It is a game and you are under pressure. I repeat it is OK. I don’t think Richy wanted to show disrespect to Nottingham Forest. Forest are a really good team with a great history in football and we have a great respect. Richy for sure thinks in the same way. Not disrespectful for anyone and I can tell you this.”
So who is right? Was it “provocative” as suggested in commentary? Or, with Richarlison allowed the time and space to juggle the ball, was he entitled to do so?
Running down the clock is all part of the game is it not? Do we start booking players heading towards the corner flag?
The amount of attention this is getting is insane. It’s a bit of fun lads, brighten up.
Wasn't mbappe booked for showboating once?
Loool football is there to entertain and stir up emotion, why outlaw it? He wasn’t doing anything wrong
There are unwritten things you don’t do on the field. If you do, you receive what you get. Which is what happened. There mere fact this tweet is asking questions, proves nobody behind this tweet ever played the game.
Disrespectful but then so is putting nine goals past a team but nobody me ntioned that. Wonder why?
I mean, he's got the ball, he's not using his hands so seems fair to me
This is baseball-level unwritten rules enforcement, and you do not want football to go down that road. You don't want a striker to play keepy-ups in the waning moments, then don't give him time and space to do so (and don't be losing, either). Get at the ball honestly.
🗳 VOTE 🗳 Is anyone assed?
Hardly touched him to be fair.
Let's just all agree that whatever Richie does should not be allowed.. anyone else does the same... it should be applauded🤭 (richarlison97 keep doing what you're doing mate)
If he got that space to do it then the opponent is not doing his job. Bringing him down showed lack of discipline. Football is getting sour enough for fans, bit of this shouldn’t be a problem
It’s not illegal but it is disrespectful…🤷🏻♂️
No rules against it. But if I see that as a defender, I'm probably not going for the ball at that point...
I think you’ve already got your answer
We don’t need an article about it lads.
Totally deserved to be cleared out!
Is football juggling is being CANCELLED? NO WAY.
What he did is within the rules,what Johnson did to Richarlison is not.
Entitled to do what he wants, but I enjoyed what followed
The fact this was even written. Games gone.
Can we let it just play out like it did.. can't take athletes tricks and control away from him if he is given time let him.. he isn't doing something illegal.. and the tackle I loved it too 😭😭
If you don’t want a player to showboat then don’t let him. Simple. There’s nothing “provocative” about it.
Kids a 🤡
16 game ban imo
Of course he’s entitled to do so, I quite liked it and the response was funny too
Obviously too provocative. The line should be drawn at body feints. Anything from a stepover upwards should be met with a yellow card.
He can do what he wants only ones who had the issue with it is the commentators and Cooper. We got a free kick out of it also..
His ******* legs should be cut off man😂😂😂
Was he entitile to play football?😂😂
I’d rather see him showboating than diving and feigning injury.
He's entitled to do it in the same way Johnson and Williams are then entitled to flatten him.
Easiest way to deal with it is to outlaw it from the game, and award a foul to the team who players needlessly showboat against. It’s also anti-football and timewasting. Until then it’s just going to cause a problematic reaction from the opposition.
Both.
Austin Jay Jay okocha did worse and he was celebrated for it. Let’s try and keep up
Who gives a toss?! If he is allowed time to do it that's down to the opposition. He could sit cross legged if he wants. Media needs to get a grip.
He's entitled to do so but shouldn't be surprised when getting a boot up the arse either.
Nani did it years ago and it boiled so much piss at the time. Pretty sure he was berated for it in the media.
If it’s Ronaldinho or Neymar no one would care, especially if it was 15 years+ ago. Modern football is too robotic, mechanical. Why are we discouraging players from expressing themselves and reminding us all of the playground tricks that made us fall in love with the game?
Its part of the game, he's entitled to do it, just needs to recognise that players won't take well to show boating and may react
