And you thought Zidane's headbutt was serious?

Not sure why he got sent off. Both players are entitled to go for a 50-50 ball. Are we suggesting that his foot was a bit high ?
Good try, but a pretty lame joke...did you actually bother to watch the video?

I think it was because he pulled his shirt off at the end of the video. I'm not sure but I think that's a bookable offence nowadays...
 
Taking out the shirt means getting a yellow card. I never understood that rule! But as he already got the red card another yellow one would be superflicious.
Anyway that kick was worth of a karate WC final and no soccer final! Was that guy trying to invent a new kind of sports? If yes, he should ask at first Mr. Blatter. If he bribed him enough it would be okay. But as he didn't he should thbink over all for the end of the season resp. the next half season played! If he does something like that again he should be banned and brought to jail! In all cases he should visit a good psychatrist.

But....

Then again, they're YouTube comments. The greatest abomination of the English language to date.

Even if those comments on youtube are correct, then it still is not an excuse to use on the football field.
 
:eek:


I am glad there was no other player with such emotional instability on the field - they'd have killed each other. I hope this guy gets a lifetime ban and a criminal trial. This is no longer 'rough play' or a 'blackout action' - this is nothing but assault and battery. Six months suspended sentence should suit him. And a fine. A very stiff one.
 
The worst thing is that the defender tears down his knee when he was trying to get up. That was shocking!

Indeed. I didn't even spot whether he got carded for that.

Ahh, I see. So perhaps the ref just meant to give him a yellow ?

That only happens after scoring a goal.
 
I didnt think it looked that bad really, I dont watch much soccer though.

you must watch hockey then? :P

Honestly if that same thing were to happen in Scotland, Poland or somewhere like that, the fans would've all just jumped on the field and start fighting each other while the players try to escape... Good thing Singapore isn't like that...

Yeah, yellow would have been fair. We don't want football to become a sport of sissies, now do we?

I'm pretty sure you can also get yellow for pulling your shirt during play. The only question would be why somebody would do that.
 
sentence for the player
Now, isn't that ridiculous. I wouldn't be surprised if he would still play for Singapore as they need him. Never mind he is a gangster on the pitch, Singapore needs to win games...

Singapore is actually quite a pathetic sports country, but in their quest for glory to overcome their inferiorty complex, medals must be won now by all means. The soccer team now has 7 non native Singaporeans such as Nigerians, Chinese and Europeans.
The whole table tennis team consists of China players. Luckily so far that policy hasn't paid off.
 
What's a football player make? $2,000 (I assume this is Singapore Dollars too) is nothing.
 
the fine is way too low - unless they also made him accept counseling. The ban is fine. But it should apply everywhere and in any tournament.
 
I agree that the ban should apply everywhere. It would be too easy to go play abroad.

But if he doesn't do that he will have a hard time getting match pratice to play for the national team.
