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

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. :)

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. :)

Haha i would love for something to happen

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.

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.

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...

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..

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?
