Just saw this - what the reaction would've been like if Twitter had been around at the time. Hilarious and very clever. http://www.sportsjoe.ie/football/eric-cantona-anniversary-manchester-united-twitter/10130
One of the best moments in the Prem's history. Who wouldn't want to attack a Palace fan? Cantona was class.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04ykn5t Listened to this the other night, they seemed to make Cantona the victim!!
When it was mainly terracing at grounds what the Palace fan shouted at Cantona would have been routine.
Terrace gobshite got what was finally coming to him. He was unfairly punished. Standing on a footy terrace shouldn't make you immune to a reaction when you act like a ****.
I seem to remember Cantona taking on an armed Turkish policeman in a Champions League fixture, the guy was a lunatic but great to watch, can't believe the kick was 20 years ago but that guy had it coming, I did feel sorry for the granny and little child caught in the middle of it though!
What was the point? To excuse and glorify violence? Was interesting that procedures were changed afterwards, but he shouldn't have done it. What would happen if you did that at work to one of your customers?
Still whoosh! Can you really not see the humor and the irony in the diametrically opposed interpretations of the two sets of reds supporters (MUFC and LFC). Try again ... you MAY eventually get it.
The fact that ones opinion is generally determined by the team one supports is not lost on me, but that still doesn't make it right to excuse that level of violence.
If a client screamed at me that my mother was a whore, he wouldn't get away as lucky as that Palace fan did.
