Declan Rice has shown precisely how he feels about West Ham United via his pretty violent outburst against the referee in Frankfurt.
Hearing players criticise refs ins a very rare occurrence indeed. Hearing them cuss one in the manner Declan did is something I’ve never heard before.
Using the F word and alleging he had taken bribes and was corrupt is extraordinary in anybody’s terms – player just don’t do it …UNTIL now.
We are talking about a peaceful individual who says all the right things at the right time but has chosen to go right out on a limb on a night when his disappointment was intense as we’ve ever known it.
We have all heard far too much about him moving on for far too long and hearing him talking like this and also explaining “we” want to be in Europe again next season tells us all we need to know.
Declan is a Hammer – he’s going nowhere at all so forget the stories telling you anything different!
Was good to hear him call that ref out, he will pay a heavy price no doubt but that doesn’t make him wrong these various fa’s has been found to have corrupt officials. Blatter, Warner, Platini etc it’s a gravy train and the more money you have the more you seem to be able to get away with.
Dec was spot on with his comments, he was only saying what most of us thought at the time, it may seem a bit over the top in the cold light of day 24 hours or more later but if uefa punish him for saying the truth they will show how right he was to point out the corruption in uefa against teams outside the closed shop of rich clubs
