The Reverend Posted 12 September 2009 Posted 12 September 2009 Absolutely loved Gary's dig at Shearer, loved it. And enjoyed Adebayors celebration - fair play to him.
sdb Posted 12 September 2009 Posted 12 September 2009 Did Gary mean what he said the way we all interpreted it? I'm not so sure. I'd love to think so though... As for Adebayor, i'm sorry, but what a complete cock. Studding people in the face and provoking big crowds like that - pathetic.
Unabomber Posted 13 September 2009 Posted 13 September 2009 Adebayor's stamp on RVP was fooking disgusting, he really is a fool.

I'd love to think so though...As for Adebayor, i'm sorry, but what a complete cock. Studding people in the face and provoking big crowds like that - pathetic. I'm a sad bastard so press rewind a few times! If Lineker didn't mean the Lennon incident, I don't think Shearer would have replied with a chuckle and a "aww come on". On the FLS, Manish said to Claridge, "Leicester's first win against blackpool in 43 years...incidently" then a very awkward moment of silence
Fox92 Posted 13 September 2009 Posted 13 September 2009 Adebayor = legend.Can't believe players get booked for celebrating. Imagine if a former player like Mattock returned and did that. What would you do? Didn't you see Mark Bunn at Sheffield United? I know that wasn't as bad as Adebayor but come on, we could of all killed him that day. ______ For me Adebayor should be band for starting a riot or something like that. To run the length of the pitch and celebrate like that is disgusting, ecspecially when Wenger said he has done nothing wrong so don't boo him. And to stamp Van Persie in the head was a disgrace. Should get a ban for me. ______ As for Linekar, what a legend just putting Shearer in his place.
Samilktray Posted 13 September 2009 Posted 13 September 2009 Emmanuel Adebayor. Just became a bigger hero to me, top marks Ade.

Loads of footballers act stupid at times but it's been blown out of proportion. However, I agree that Adebayor should be banned for the 'head stamp'. It was disgusting to say the least. Anyway, he did have a quality game Bendtner tried to hack him twice in the same run and failed
davieG Posted 13 September 2009 Posted 13 September 2009 This Adebeyor celebration demonstrates once again fan's double standards. If the boot was on the other foot the Arsenal fans would be lapping it up. Most of these moaning fans are great at giving out stick and taking the piss out of opposition players but just can't take it. Sure anyone might be a bit miffed but they should learn to take it in their stride. Reminds me of when Robbie Fowler showed his arse to the Leicester fans after they'd been giving him stick thought out the game, the fuss they made was so pathetic and hypocritical.
Pete_foxes Posted 13 September 2009 Posted 13 September 2009 Yes Gary, it was just said brilliantly. Shearer just laughed it off, apsolute C
Jay Posted 13 September 2009 Posted 13 September 2009 It will be a complete joke if Adebayor gets charged over his celebration as the ref booked him for it right or wrong that should be the end of the matter. Morgan received a yellow card for an throwing an elbow at Hume ending up with a fractured skull and a year out of the game and the FA said no further action could be taken as he had been booked for the challenge if celebrating a goal is worse than a deliberate attempt to injure another footballer then it's a sad state of affairs. yes he should be charged for the van persie incident but you can't change the rules as and when you feel like it
Simi Posted 13 September 2009 Author Posted 13 September 2009 Adebayor may have been out of line for what he did. However, I imagine we will soon see that davieG was referring to with regards to double standards. I've just seen on Sky Sports News that a steward was hit with something during the aftermath of the celebration by an Arsenal fan. The FA need to realise that Adebayor induced that and they surely cannot blame the Arsenal fans for getting a little heated?

My double standards were relating to the Arsenal fans getting heated, as I said why? They'd be loving it if it was the other way around. So I do blame the Arsenal fans for getting heated and it's certainly no excuse for throwing stuff.

But, for all the bad press that fans have received lately because of West Ham v Millwall it doesn't help their case when they are enticed by players who should be setting an example. Same thing at Forest the other week, in high profile games like that, fans thresholds are going to be a lot lower and tempers will flare.

Well they should learn to control themselves and it's all so hypocritical, as I've said if it was the other way around then the Arsenal and Derby fans would have been lapping it up. They can give but they can't take.

They can give but they can't take. But the punishments don't reflect the same way do they? Fans have been given life bans and the like for past behaviour whereas players are mostly given pathetic fines that they won't even think twice about.
Guest Posted 13 September 2009 Posted 13 September 2009 Reminds me of when Robbie Fowler showed his arse to the Leicester fans after they'd been giving him stick thought out the game, the fuss they made was so pathetic and hypocritical. I complained about having to see Fowler's face, not his arse. One of the few people out there whose backside is better looking than his face.

The problem is the more fans complain the more restrictive the game becomes, players get booked for running off the pitch to their own fans to celebrate, for removing their shirts. Where do you draw the line, as I continue to say and strongly believe fans are being hypocritical by moaning because they'd love it and glory in this stuff if it was their own team and own players celebrating. They've got to learn to take a bit of goading and over celebrating otherwise we'll end up with the fans having to sit down and shake hands with each other as well as the players when a goal is scored. Goal celebrations are now part of what makes football exciting you can't pick and choose just the ones you're own team are doing.
AyewJoking Posted 13 September 2009 Posted 13 September 2009 Adebayor should know better given the fact he is a role model to children but he's obviously a twat with so much money he thinks he can do whatever he wants.

Goal celebrations are now part of what makes football exciting you can't pick and choose just the ones you're own team are doing. I agree with you that players not being able to celebrate with their own fans is wrong, if I was a player that is exactly where I would run if I scored a big goal against a rival. Perhaps the fans are being hypocritical, but that's not really what I am getting at. What I am trying to say is the fans will more than likely be demonised again by the authorities because they have reacted to a situation where they have been wound up. Yes, of course it was wrong. But my opinion is that the players need to receive equally as strong punishments to prevent this happening again.

You can either tell the fans to get real and grow up and explain to them how they're being hypocritical or you can punish the players. The problem with punishing the players is deciding when a goal celebration is inciting trouble there's bound to be a grey area and I can see if it goes down that route then they'll err on the side of caution and restrict goal celebrations even more. Legislators have a history of going too far to placate the minority.

To run the length of the pitch and celebrate like that is disgusting, ecspecially when Wenger said he has done nothing wrong so don't boo him. If he did I wouldn't care. Yes it would be a kick in the face but it's just banter. What in my right mind would want me to run down the stand and jump over a barrier to attack a footballer because of a celebration? I mean what were the Arsenal fans planning on doing as they jumped over the barrier, actually fight him. how pathetic. It's only football at the end of the day and fans give out stick so why cannot they take any back. From what I heard they were chanting about Adebayor all game and naturally emotions ran high when he scored against his former club. It's just made me laugh how annoyed the fans were over nothing. It's funny how hard people are when they have a barrier full of stewaqrds in front of them. I bet none of those fans would have even dared layed a finger on him if they actually got onto the pitch. Stamp aside Adebayor has gone into legendary status in my book. Neville did the same against Liverpool, Rooney against Man City and Liverpool. It's just passion. I think players should be able to give a bit of stick out but it's just the idiots in the terraces who are the ones to blame as they feel the need to punch someone over a celebration yet they sing curses for 90 minutes directed at one person and think its okay. Nothing wrong with a bit of banter adds spice to the game and if you feel the need to run on a pitch and be a thug then footballs not for you. This Adebeyor celebration demonstrates once again fan's double standards.
