im sorry but what he done when he scored would get under anyones skin if an ex player done that to you. If an ex rovers player left and then done that a couple of months later i know how id feel.

yeah but isnt he entitled to do that? I mean what there is some law in the game that says you are not allowed to show any emotion?

his apology for the celebration and injury to the steward made me laugh. a steward gets knocked about and requires medical attention and its reported today that Adebayor has asked the club to send a signed shirt and note of apology to the steward..... i mean what kind of apology and gesture is that!! these players are in a diff world to everyone else

There is a law that that states you can't incite a riot and imo that is what he did with his reaction. Ok the emotion of it all but what about the fans emotion. He shouldn't have done what he done simple as. Better off celebrating with his own fans. Also his stamp on Van Persie was the action of a coward.

Will surely get a minimum 3 games for the stamp.
Absolutely idiotic to run the length of the pitch and incite a riot, should also be done for that too in my opinion.
I mean coming out with such guff as

"I don't know what I have done wrong to get banned. I have not heard the police or FA want to talk to me. The club have not said anything."

If i was getting abuse all through the game I would have done exactly the same, so what..................i thought this was meant to be a mans game............jesus the prawn sandwich brigade are out in force today

No excuse for hitting stewards..............

Typical Arsenal fans anyway......................wouldnt be a peek out of them come the spurs games!!!!...

Hit with 2 separate charges
Clattenburg said he'd definitely have sent him off if he had seen it so I reckon he's a banker for 3 matches for the stamp.

**CF1989** · 15/09/2009, 2:17 PM

3 for the stamp and another for the celebration maybe

I agree with that to an extent, basically I don't think they should have thrown seats or whatever at him, but I'd have reacted if I were an Arsenal supporter, so would the majority of football fans I know so I'm not going to criticise them too much

On the first point, someone else said it'd have been better if he hadn't celebrated at all, that's what I was questioning.

On the second, all football fans would react, and give plenty of verbal abuse back, that's part of the game. Throwing seats etc isn't. I'm sure you've seen similar celebrations in the LOI
