Manchester police confirm they're investigating a report(s) involving Van Persie

[lBlue]

No doubt they'll also confirm they're looking into the fans of the Arsenal fans in all (throwing coins, trampling a steward etc) however they've confirmed they're looking into a case involving Van Pussie. He tried to spark a reaction from the City fans however we're impeccable didn't kick off like the Arsenal fans. :)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/8255536.stm

However I don't expect anything to be done considering we didn't kick off. If we did kick off Van Persie would be facing a fan however we're impeccable. :)

[Mexel]

Haha i would love for something to happen

[CHA!NGANG]

Van Persie didn't run the whole pitch, the dive infront of the City fans and raise his hands did he?

He celebrated normally and swore at the same time, I don't see anywhere where it says a player can't swear. He was releasing some anger as it was the equiliser after all.

And of course Arsenal fans kicked off when he ran the pitch to take the piss out of the fans, which no footballer should do.

Saying that, I need to re-watch his celebration to really say for sure what he did but if he did say, '**** off', then that's said quite often when footballers score important goals :P

He decides to run further to the right to charge in front of the City fans, shouting and pointing. He could of easily run over to the Arsenal fans and celebrate with them however he ran right up to the barrier and started shouting abuse. The South Stand is a vocal point of our ground, the area where our "mad heads" go. Fans could of easily piled onto the pitch in an attempt to get him however we remained impeccable.

[CHA!NGANG]

I don't really think he did much wrong. If it was a celebration worth punishing, the ref would have booked him. Maybe he was wrong to go to the City fans, but it wasn't the opposite end of the pitch :P Also, what he said, nothing wrong with it as far as I'm concerned, it happens all the time.

I said in the other thread, I don't think Ade should be banned for his Celebration, he was booked, end of. His stomp on the other hand should be a 3 game ban at least. It was malicous and I don't care what any City fan says, it was and he could have easily of avoided it.

You don't think he did much wrong? He PURPOSELY ran to the City fans just like Adebayor did to Arsenal. He didn't run the whole pitch because we surrounded him however he could of very easily ran to the Arsenal fans, it would of been quicker to go to them than the South Stand home area.


He was pointing fans out and swearing.

Three game ban? Van Persie came in two footed with intent on injuring him. Adebayor was off balance and scraped his face, he apologised to him when he got chance at the end and hugged him.

[CHA!NGANG]

Lol, he was not off balance. If you watch it, he was perfectly on balance and went for his face/hand. I say 3 game ban, it most likely will be more so I'm saying 3 games quite modestly really.

As for the incident, are there any videos on Youtube. All I remember from the game is him swearing and running towards the corner area.

Think you might need a new science teacher if you believe someone can keep balance when someone has clattered into them trying to take them out with two feet.

As for the incident... find your own videos if you want to prove his innocence against the Greater Manchester Police...

[CHA!NGANG]

You might need to be unbiased for a second and admit he could have easily have avoided it :S I Don't think anyone, including most City fan's will argue against that... well except from you.

And I already looked for the Video, hence why I asked are there any because I couldn't find any..

[Flamedragon3]

Well to recieve a yellow card for a celebration, you need to either take your shirt off, or run off the pitch to celebrate. Adebayor didn't do these things, but recieved a yellow card for celebrating infront of fans which is fair enough, but there is no rule saying you should get booked for this action? Whereas Van Peries ran off the pitch to celebrate? So shouldn't he have recieved a yellow card for that celebration?

when adebayors
something like provking the fans or something?

[Browney]

Excessive celebrations can get a yellow too.

[Jack.Lfc]

He should report adebayor for assault.

erm, clearly you've never heard of standards.
You don't get footballers on 70 - 100k a week swearing at the oppositions fans.
Theres certain rules that are expected to be followed and swearing at the fans isn't one of them. Don't tell me there isn't a rule, because aggrevating fans isn't definately not going to be allowed. Don't try and justify it because you support the *****.

Swearing at the fan's isn't the best thing to do, no, but it's done all the time in modern football, most the times the players don't mean it but they do it to release frustration. And don't tell me what, and what not to do :)

[Excellent2]

lBlue, *REMOVED* You know quite well that Ade meant to cause harm to Van Persie. He purposely brings his foot down quite fast to catch his head. It's a blatant stomp. If you so choose to say otherwise then *REMOVED*

Apart from Man City fans pushing open the gate and getting onto that part and going for an Arsenal fan who'd been arrested.

Ah yes, I suppose it was an excessive celebration then.

Good post, aggrevating the opposing teams fans isn't big nor clever. I can take it when the player is given stick from the fans but this was an unprovoked action from Van Persie.

It shouldn't be done though when it's unprovoked. Yes we can have a laugh, City fans and John O'shea have a fabulous relationship, it's a laugh. This was unprovoked and was intent on getting a reaction from us.

lBlue, shutup. You know quite well that Ade meant to cause harm to Van Persie. He purposely brings his foot down quite fast to catch his head. It's a blatant stomp. If you so choose to say otherwise then you are an idiot.
Not very nice Excellent2, not very nice at all. I'd advice you to leave your confrontational approach in the football stands however in your case it's more "the living room couch".

Nobody knows whether or not Adebayor meant it. Van Persie, Song and Bendter were going in hard and dirty on Adebayor all day. Song got booked for kicking Adebayor. Van Persie went in two footed and caught Adebayor unbalanced. A number of footballing pundits have defended Adebayor today.

He didn't bring his foot down, he scraped it. I'd suggest you either stop making things up to suit your post or watch the video again.

An idiot? The man whom insults is normally the man lacking intelligence dear.

When did this happen? Can you find me a video, would like to see this as I didn't see it. ;s

I love todays technology and everything being checked out. Wish they would stop being so pathetic, who cares if he mouthed a swear word, Its not illigal. Grow up!!

Top right, very hard to see with that annoying red thing but then pushed back in by stewards. Although, looked more when I first saw it, looked only a few in that. :P

NetFlix have removed all the videos I wanted to see. :(

I'd rather spend money building for my future than watching Ade stomp players.

Have you not watched the bloody video? He stomps his foot down, and makes sure that he catches Persie's head. He could have calmly rested his foot down. He's also looking down at Persie when he blatantly sticks his leg out to kick.

Stop being a bias little girl, and face the facts.

OK, build for your future then. :S

Yes I've watched the video. I see you've looked inside Adebayors mind and know if it's intentional or not. End of the matter now we've sorted that out.

You have no ground to stand on, under no circumstances is swearing at football fans the right thing to do. Just because people do it, doesn't make it right, just means they're lowering footballs standards...

[lBlue]

Not heard anything since a few days ago, said they were going to interview the fans who made the complaints.

[CHA!NGANG]

Fine, and so will I so don't tell me what to do :S Hypocrit much...

Also, yes it's not the right thing to do, but it's done often and Like I said, quite a lot of the time it isn't to the fans, it's just a way to release agrivation. If I **** up in basketball or football I swear, if I score a crucial goal or do something which is very important I sometimes swear too, it's a way to release frustration and isn't often aimed at fans even if it looks like it. So no, I think your wrong as swearing at the end of the day, is fine if your over the age of 12, as long as it's not directed to offend or harm anyone, and I think V.Persie was just releasing frustration as he scored a vital equaliser.

[Jack.Lfc]

I always swear at the match. Mostly at oposition fans.

Only difference is that Van Rapist ran to the away fans, pointed some fans out and shouted "**** YOU" & "**** OFF". Hardly celebrating, more like trying to course a riot.

fans shout and swear at players all the time, yet players can't do it because 'they're professionals' - so what? if someone shouts at you, shout back. :P
