Zidane sending off...

[Clifford]

You are a sad man Clifford.

;) :D

Still what remains is the basic disagreement that sometimes I think a headbutt is justified, as in the case of racism (whether Materazzi did so or not, I don't know, but neither do ye)

What a childish attitude to life. You think that violence is the answer to everything, walking away from things you don’t like has never occurred to you I assume.Maybe you will grow up sometime. What other insults in life do you think deserves a head-butt or is it just racism? silly boy lemon

Personally I don't care that Zidane headbutted him or not, I am sure the guy
deserved it, although the little cheat will deny it of course.
I think it was a great way to end a magnificant career infact, header of
the tournement!!
What would you rather watch, boring defensive Italian football (played
to half empty stadiums in Italy) or sublimely skillfull players likes Zidane?
Italy may have won the cup, but Zidane stole the show!

I think words can often cause more offense than actual physcial violence,
insulting someones mother is about as low as one can get, how would you
have felt if someone had made those insults about your mother, who
in Zidanes case had been admitted to hospital.

"Materazzi allegedly accused Zidane of being a "liar," and wished "an ugly death to you and your family"

Do you think you would have found it easy to "walk away" from such insults?
I know I wouldn't and I would not think much of anyone who could.
If Italy need to stoop to such depths to win a world cup well frankly they
can have it, there are more important things in life than football.

Sophie Ellis Bexter was found head butted to death in a Paris apartment this morning. Apparently it was murder on zidane's floor.

Look. Materazzi allegedly said those things to Zidane but where is the proof he actually did say them.Until this is proven he is the innocent victim.

If you condone what Zidane done then that is your business. I don’t and I hope Zidane gets fined for it. Even if he did say them it takes a bigger man to walk away. There are more appropriate means of dealing with it.I assume you won’t be watching boring Italy again so?

Lets get rid of this boring Italy thing. People who raved about Germany in this tournament should realise that it was Italy that were going for it in the semi final extra time with 4 strikers on the pitch. This team killed the image of boring Italy in my view. Its just lazy journalism or comments by people who can get beyond nationsl stereotypes. Oh yeah the Germans were efficient also

C'mon Neil, 3 surely - you're not including Totti are you????;)

[NeilMcD]

I suppose I am but then again he did not do much and he was only purely to take a penalty which he showed he certainly can take it very well.

And what would his punishment be if he doesn't pay? Probably a life ban I'd guess

Since we're assuming things about people we don't know I'll go ahead and assume that you're the guy who gets hit in the back of a head with a kebab on saturday nights in Supermacs and just sits there and takes it for five minutes before being the 'bigger man' and walking away and bitching about how immature those people are to your friends on the way home, all the while doing a Mick Hucknall and holding back the tears. Maybe you will grow some sometime. :D

[NeilMcD]

Walking away is always the best Policy. No Shame in it. I have seen mates of mine react and one mate through a guy and he just missed an on coming car. Even if you win a fight you can still have huge repurcussions from it so its best just walk away or even better not get involved in the 1st place.

Agreed. I was just assuming something about Farbean from his post since he did so to me to show him how stupid it is to do so

[Dodge]

Right there couldn't possible be any more to discuss about Zidane's headbutt. Don't get personal lads, or at least if you do, keep it to PM.
