Hatch Posted 12 September, 2009 Posted 12 September, 2009 LOL, just logged on to post exactly the same, word for word. Totally agree, bet he gets a 1 game ban for the stamp and a 2 game ban for the crowd incitement thingy.

Saint_Jim Posted 12 September, 2009 Posted 12 September, 2009 Should have stamped on him a little harder IMO
saint_stevo Posted 12 September, 2009 Author Posted 12 September, 2009 Should have stamped on him a little harder IMO Idiot
Hatch Posted 12 September, 2009 Posted 12 September, 2009 Shall we have a sweepstake on what injury Adebayor will mysteriously have when Man city play at the emirates
saint_stevo Posted 12 September, 2009 Author Posted 12 September, 2009 or if he plays how long it takes for Van P to even the score.... I liked watching Bendtner and Eboue trying to kick him up in the air and him literally having to hurdle some horrific looking challenges!
Smirking_Saint Posted 12 September, 2009 Posted 12 September, 2009 TBF, he did look like he was a walking target, i also noticed EE and bendtner (who is **** btw) try and break his legs. Mind you, the kick to the face was still a bit c*ntish.
oxfordshire_saint Posted 12 September, 2009 Posted 12 September, 2009 The stamp was bang out of order. As for the celebration, brilliant! I hate it when players get booked for inciting the crowd, if they've had to take dog's abuse from the opposing fans, they should be allowed to give some bag. The Gooners deserved that for how they abused him when he was still at their club. Has it been confirmed what type of sandwich was thrown at him as he slid to his knees infront of them?
saint_stevo Posted 12 September, 2009 Author Posted 12 September, 2009 If it hadn't have been for Arsenal/Wenger he would still be a second rate striker in France with an attitude problem IMO

Tac-tics Posted 12 September, 2009 Posted 12 September, 2009 wait for it.............Emmanuel 'Anger'bayor:) looks like someone threw the remains of their ploughmans at him.

Mase Posted 13 September, 2009 Posted 13 September, 2009 He angered me so much. Celebration was tasteless… The stamp was even worse. Deserves a hefty fine and a ban as well in my opinion.

It seems that you are overlooking the 2 footed challenege through his leg (which he did well to jump over and avoid) by Van Persie leading to the stamp (on his hand)...and then he reached for his face like he just caught a right hook. Similarly, the endless amounts of ****ty challenges throughout the game trying to bring him down at every oppotunity. I say good him...stamp on the whiney cheating little **** and go and stick your middle finger up at loads of gooners for giving you sh1t throughout the game....if u can't take it..don't dish it out. What did they expect?

What did they expect? Spot on B Rabbit. If Van Persie had of made contact then he would have probably given him a serious injury, it looked to me as if he went in their with the intent to hurt. I could empathise with how Adebayor reacted so impulsively when he stabbed his leg at Van Persie, bear in mind Van Persie intended to clatter Adebayor; Adebayor simply reacted to the provocation. This doesn't make it right of course but some of the reactions on here are embarrassing. As for the celebration, well what a way to endear yourselves to the fanbase of your new club, it would make the hairs on my neck stand up if a Saints player did that and it reminded me of Tim Flowers:D I like the way the fans give it large and do all the masculine posturing and then complain they have hurty feelings.....awww bless, maybe we should have a creche at football grounds where the new breed of weedy football fan can go and have a good cry when an ex player gives them them the proverbial middle finger in a bit of one-upmanship. It's been going on since the year dot and I just don't see what he did wrong, surely it's all part of the fun of going to football. I can remember when Matt Taylor was giving Saints fans loads near the goalmouth when they battered us a few years back, we did the same back. I don't think any of us would have been bothered to report him would we -isn't it's just letting off steam.
Deanovski Posted 13 September, 2009 Posted 13 September, 2009 people just wanna jump on the banwaggon its stupid, the fans booed him every week when he played for them. They think they are the best team in the world nice little reality check .
Thedelldays Posted 13 September, 2009 Posted 13 September, 2009 I hate it when supporters moan after they are happy to abuse a player verbally... Ian Wright said that years ago, saints fans reported him to the police after he was getting dogs abuse all game, when he scored he goaded the Milton...and what does someone do..? It is all part of the pantomime IMO
dellgirl Posted 13 September, 2009 Posted 13 September, 2009 He should just have been a bit cleverer and made it look like an "accident" not a full on assault...thought the winding up was awesome..loved it.
SO16_Saint Posted 13 September, 2009 Posted 13 September, 2009 i dont think it was malicious and it's been all blown up.

What did they expect? It is always a case that you don't retaliate, I think both players should have been sent off. Also Van Persie did receive a nasty looking injury so no excuses for either player. As for Adebayor and his goal "celebrations" that was very provocative and very unwise given the recent trouble at games and especially the West Ham v Millwall game. I'd be amazed if Adebayor did not pick up a 2/3 game ban though RVP might escape unfortunately as the ref booked him so clearly saw the challenge.

Oh dear, Adebayor not only trying to kick a player in the face but also inciting the crowd by running the lenght of the pitch to celebrate a goal which he could of done in front of his own fans. Shows what an idiot you are inciting trouble. I hope the FA show him the red card for being as you call it"cheating little ****" but with the added title of "inciting violence" As for the fans its what football is all about dishing it out, the players have to expect that, not incite a riot, I thought even you had the intelligence to think that out. Obviously not on this occasion.
stevegrant Posted 14 September, 2009 Posted 14 September, 2009 He'll get a 3-game ban for the stamp and probably a large fine for the celebration.
OldNick Posted 14 September, 2009 Posted 14 September, 2009 I have only seen fleeting bits of the incidents. To run the pitch was asking for trouble and I doubt we owuld be very happy if it happened to us, we dant forgive Derby for their fans celebratios after the playoffs FFS
Bentley Posted 14 September, 2009 Posted 14 September, 2009 i dont think it was malicious and it's been all blown up. So you run with your feet out wildly to the side normally then?
Saint_clark Posted 14 September, 2009 Posted 14 September, 2009 He should just have been a bit cleverer and made it look like an "accident" not a full on assault...thought the winding up was awesome..loved it. Indeed, i'd have fallen over after the stamp, made it look like VP fouled you and you didn't have a clue where your feet were.
the stain Posted 14 September, 2009 Posted 14 September, 2009 The goal celebration was hilarious and completely justified. Anybody who treats a goal celebration as an incitement to riot needs to take a look at themself, not the player who 'provoked' them.
Kaiser Soze Posted 14 September, 2009 Posted 14 September, 2009 If a man on the street kicked someone in the head and then incited a riot he would be hurled in front of the crown court facing charges of GBH and public disorder - why should a footballer be any different???

So if Kenwyne Jones did the same to us you would sit with your arms crossed? Plastic?
the stain Posted 14 September, 2009 Posted 14 September, 2009 So if Kenwyne Jones did the same to us you would sit with your arms crossed? Plastic? I wouldn't be pleased, but I'd accept it as part of the give and take of banter. At least I'd like to think I'd be able to keep my temper in check to the extent that I didn't start breaking things or throwing things or injuring people. Does that make me plastic (?!?), or just someone who's responsible enough to be allowed out in public? If you think a goal celebration is justification for an outbreak of violence then you're a bigger numptie than I'd given you credit for.
Saint_clark Posted 14 September, 2009 Posted 14 September, 2009 So if Kenwyne Jones did the same to us you would sit with your arms crossed? Plastic? But we never treated Jones with disrespect, that being the difference. Gooners treated Adebayor like crap.

In the real world (i.e. not in the weird mind of the average retarded football fan), CCTV evidence would be found and all the idots who genuinely believe the location of Adebayor's goal celebration (in front of the Arsenal fans) is a valid enough reason to start a riot would be punished. Adebayor's celebrarion wasn't even out of the ordinary other than running the length of the pitch. He didn't even gesture with the fans and probably didn't even say anything to any of them. Everything which followed was purely down to the actions of the mindless fans.
bolo Posted 14 September, 2009 Posted 14 September, 2009 What about when bridgey ran the full length of the pitch celebrating in front of the skates? All fair game in my book. Regarding the stamp i haven't seen it so can't comment. But RVP is a nasty piece of work most of the time so i reckon he probably deserved it!

Rut Posted 14 September, 2009 Posted 14 September, 2009 Van Persie cost me a grand once. No tears shed there. As for the celebration? That was quality. The game was live on TV over here and I laughed loudly when the camera cut away from the close up of him obviously running - to show where he had actually ran to. Lots of poor, hard done by, enraged Arsenal fans going mental - a lovely sight :-) I liked it so much I decided to turn off the Saints radio commentary for a while to actually listen to City v Arsenal game. Good stuff.
Rut Posted 14 September, 2009 Posted 14 September, 2009 Good youtube of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHwXBRNGdGs&feature=related
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 14 September, 2009 Posted 14 September, 2009 The celebration made me laugh. Arsenal fans give him abuse and get annoyed when a player responds? Maybe the FA should outlaw any emotion or any kind of goal celebration. Could always go back in time to a quiet hand shake between players :-(
Sour Mash Posted 14 September, 2009 Posted 14 September, 2009 If a man on the street kicked someone in the head and then incited a riot he would be hurled in front of the crown court facing charges of GBH and public disorder - why should a footballer be any different??? Hear, hear, same with punch-ups etc, that if had happened in the stands would involve life-bans for the perpetrators.
chrisobee Posted 14 September, 2009 Posted 14 September, 2009 Hear, hear, same with punch-ups etc, that if had happened in the stands would involve life-bans for the perpetrators. Agreed too, can't believe so many on here defending Adebayor, so many keen to castigate Eduardo. Rather epitomises this board though TBH.
Barney Trubble Posted 14 September, 2009 Posted 14 September, 2009 It was hardly a full forced kick in the head was it? Crikey if I hadn't seen the incident on tv and it was described to me by some people on here, my mind would conjure up images of a grown man being pummeled and his head bouncing off the pitch like a rag doll. The reality is that it was just an impulsive reaction to someone trying to break your legs, I even think he tried to pull out halfway through. Some would try and make it out to be just as bad and pre-meditated as Paul Davis's elbow on Glenn ****erill - oh, bear in mind that Van Persies actions were totally that, when he attempted to put the full force and momentum of his body through Adebayor's legs, I imagine to try and teach him a lesson. I have to laugh at the comparions to full punch-ups or people being kicked in the head in the street - what totally ludicrous comparators. What a bunch of drama queens we have on here.
skintsaint Posted 15 September, 2009 Posted 15 September, 2009 by Van Persie leading to the stamp (on his hand)... Did you see the stud marks down his face? VP deserves it though for the shocking challenge just before. Also excellent celebration, cant see too much wrong with it and the fans need to look at themselves.

Bridgey never played for the skates so has no relevence on this incident, hth.
Baj Posted 15 September, 2009 Posted 15 September, 2009 Bridgey never played for the skates so has no relevence on this incident, hth. Knowledge failure or just thinking you're on TMS?
saintwarwick Posted 15 September, 2009 Posted 15 September, 2009 You don't know when to use ''have'' and when to use ''of''. Tosser. Interesting you cannot comment on my post other than grammar tosser. Still see you are doing colour by numbers, most of us did that in our childhood.
bolo Posted 15 September, 2009 Posted 15 September, 2009 Knowledge failure or just thinking you're on TMS? I'm guessing its the latter... So you think it is ok for Bridgey to give a little back to the Skate bar stewards as he didn't play for them, but a crime for adebayor to do the same as he played for Arsenal. Christ do you need to try hard to be this stupid? (yes i know i shouldn't bicker Mr Baj please let me off just this once sir! )
