I don't disagree with him, i disagree with his bullshit explanation

[Svlad Cjelli]

To an outsider it looks a bit like you're violently agreeing with one another.

As I say, I don't really understand what Zac's point is....

Cardiff City views on the incidents.

[melonhead]

I know exactly what Dirk is trying to say as well, if he just said and stopped quoting imaginary laws of the game that only hinder his point he'd actually get somewhere.

Collison got angry because he didn't like being taken the mick out of. I understand that.

Collison got angry because he didn't like being taken the mick out and understandablly kicked Kebe and pushed him over.

"Understandably" is entirely your word, not mine.

you did use it at the start, but then understandably stopped

I am more shocked that our very own PEARCEY is posting on there!! (Cardiff fans forum)

Sorry Dirk think you have to take your medicine on this one. Massive over reaction from Collinson and West Ham, who essentially did not like 'little' Reading enjoying themselves against them.

No worse than a step over, no look pass, hands on hips or whatever else players chose to do to express and enjoy themselves on the pitch. If you don't like it then the response as a pro is to hit him hard but cleanly in a tackle and win the ball. Not to over the top of the ball and push him in the face.

In no way did Collinson's attempted 'punishment' fit the 'crime'.

[Extended-Phenotype]

It is these supposedly level-headed, pseudo-social commentators “understanding” violence that gives it credence, whether they mean to excuse it or not.

Collison didn’t clatter Kebe because Kebe mocked him. He clattered Kebe because he’s a f///ing peanut-dicked, overindulged simpleton who was losing. THAT’S the explanation.

Claridge and co need to rephrase their “understanding” from the xenophobic, thug pandering sentiment broadcast, to “It’s understandable because Collison’s mum probably smoked during pregnancy”.

If Kebe went round to that condom-of-milk’s house and headbutted him for his unbalance spittle of opinion, would the Daily Mail and Svlad “understand” that? Or would they poo themselves and smear it over the internet in supercilious tub-thumping.

It’s bollocks, neither pundit should have equalised the jibe with their stupid condemnations and focus, and people need to stop sucking the precious little balls of these tattooed children we call ‘footballers’.

[Negative_Jeff]

I must be in a minority of one in that I don`t mind Steve Claridge. I can`t see where this piss taking is "not an English thing" comes from though. We invented it didn`t we? (Len Shackleton, Rodney Marsh). Kebe`s performance on saturday was a glorious sight and lit up what has so far been a rather bleak season.

[Yahoops]

By taking the piss Kebe made himself more likely to be clattered; he was clattered, quickly and unsubtly; the offender was sent off and will be properly punished. I honestly don't see what point you're trying to argue here.

Factual error - Kebe was not taking the piss.

The non-leaguers thought it rocked!

Have just complained to the BBC - yes I think Claridge's comments were out of order (and vindicating violence) - but mostly as I can't stand him.

[KDRF]

IF Kebe did it on purpose to wind them up, he did it well and we benefited, its for us so it doesnt matter. EVen if its against the 'moral' law or whatever bullshit you want to claim, he did it and Collison reacted, Kebe won, Collison lost, we scored, end of game. I love the fact that we have that much confidence to do that against the 'best' team in the league, and fair play to Kebe for showing off. IF he didnt mean to do it, Collisons even more of a twat.

[Royal Lady]

If there's an "unwritten rule" that players don't take the piss out of other players - how does Dirk know about it or do they communicate their "unwritten rules" to the FSF now?

good post

I don't have anything to add to the discussion, but I couldn't let this go past:-

premadonnas

prima donna - Italian for "first lady," originally referring to the principal female dancer in ballet.

[ZacNaloen]

I know what it means, I just spelt it wrong because I'm lazy

[Royal Lady]

And did this "unwritten rule" also apply when Sidders said "jacks" and got curo to give him the ball (even though Curo was no longer playing for us) or whoever it was? Only I don't remember them waiting a few seconds before deciding to lump the opponent for unsporting behaviour AND they were both English. Cheers then.

[Ian Royal]

I've lost my rag loads. I've never lashed out at someone physically when I do it though. At least not since I was 5.

That's cos you're a pussy and you know you'd get beaten up if you did. Even by a 5 year old.

It's a fair cop, guv.

Cureton lamped him and got sent off RL.

Dirk's just trying to show off his great insider knowledge of the game. There is no code, it's no different to any other walk of life. Take the piss out of someone who's pissed off and they may react badly. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with taking the piss or its "just not done".

And all this nonsense about it being an English code and foreigners don't get it. oxf*rd off. Kebe's has been here for FOUR years. And we are not anything special, our shit still stinks. There is no reason why we should have some swanking civilised code and everywhere else doesn't. Kebe came from France not 600 BC Sparta FFS.
