Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

I meant the football team. Poorly worded on my part perhaps.

 

So French is a race?

 

I know you meant the football team. The patriotism comment still applies.

You’ve had to work very hard for this joke

 

Cantona was provoked but that's not really the point

Nunez went into the crowd to attack fans, irrelevant of the motive

Only difference is, Cantona actually hit a fan whereas Nunez (unsurprisingly) missed

 

Each of my last two replies before this one I thought "l'll leave it after this one as it's gone far enough"

I disagree on the football team. I don't think being patriotic and supporting the national team are mutually exclusive (though they obviously do come together often).

 

This is ridiculously biased by some. If it was a Man Utd player rather than Nunez, a lot of you would have a field day.

He's gone into the crowd and attempted to punch spectators. There is nothing else to get, you just can't do that irrelevant of the motives and he'll face the consequences, probably in the form of a ban.

Applaud and respect him for sticking up for his family but all means, I do, but a ban is 100% coming. Probably from all football but hopefully it's just international

 

According to many outlets (including Empire of the Kopp) it has now, search Nunez throws chair at fans.

 

Presumably they'd have to specifically ask FIFA to apply it worldwide as it's not a FIFA tournament?

 

I don't know all the facts and I suspect few people outside those actually at the match do either but from what I've ascertained so far, I'd expect a ban, but hopefully not a very serious one.

 

The Copa doesn’t come under FIFA so it’s unlikely that he’ll get a blanket ban. CONMEBOL only have control of S. American football.

 

Don't know mate, hopefully you're right so he didn't get banned for Liverpool

 

Don’t believe everything you read. He didn’t throw a chair at fans.

 

I know, the videos show a steward stopping him.

 

He tried, someone stopped him from doing it

 

So you used the “throwing a chair into a bunch of supporters” accusation for dramatic effect.

 

Not at all, i asked what your view would be on a player that did that.

 

Fair enough. Bit of a **** then. To be honest didn’t know an awful lot about it - sounds like deserved it

 

There’s a difference between going into the stand to attack fans and going in to defend your family from being hit.

 

Nah let's get some more mad ****ers with nothing but work rate in their heartd and red mist in their eyes.

 

What would be your view on a player taking off their shirt and strangling the Referee with it?
