Samuel Eto'o, another orrible dirty

[Benitez]

Nasty ending to the Barca game.

 

Deco - diving again, and didnt manage to cheat the ref to get the free kick, so got up and pulled the hair and hit the guy who 'fouled' him Got sent off. Handbags alround

 

And then, a minute later, another lot of handbags, and Eto'o spat at Esposito of Athletico Bilbao.

 

Horrible fecer.

That was disgusting from Eto'o.

 

Earlier in the game though Ronaldinho pulled off a flick that was just stunning.

Yeah it was, except he meant it to go the other direction. Never meant it for Van Bommel at all, sure he was looking around to see where the ball went.

Not sure if its meant as a racist jibe...

Yeah, I can see how it can be viewed as racist but equally it could be taken as that's the sort of behaviour I would expect from someone who just crawled out of a swamp i.e. neanderthal behaviour.....

MADRID, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o's spit in the face of an Athletic Bilbao player during their side's bad-tempered Primera Liga match on Sunday provoked an angry response from Bilbao coach Javier Clemente.

 

The league leaders had Portugal midfielder Deco sent off in the final minute when he jumped up to grab Carlos Gurpegi's shirt, after the visiting player had tugged his hair.

 

Minutes earlier Eto'o was caught by television cameras spitting in the face of Bilbao defender Unai Exposito.

 

The former Spain coach said: "Deco should be more of a gentleman. Grabbing someone's shirt is worse than tugging someone's hair... spitting is ugly behaviour as well.

 

"I thought it was what people who had just come down out of the trees did."

 

Barcelona won the game 2-1 to go seven points clear at the top of the standings.

 

It was Eto'o's last game before going to join up with Cameroon for the African Nations Cup in Egypt.

i think he's calling him a barbarian and uncivilised rather than being racist.

That's a huge benefit of the doubt you're giving him there, unless something has been lost in translation.

 

First thing I think of living in trees is a monkey and that's what I assumed when i read that.

Sometimes after a bout on the Guinness, I produce black schits. We all do. We all think they're pretty horrible, too...

In view of recent events maybe I am who knows?

 

Besides we are all born of ape so what's the problem.....

Seriously? Why didn't he say it about Deco pulling your man's hair, then?

Deco just behaved like some cat fighting girl

It was embarrassing, actually.

 

But seriously, he said that Deco should act more like a gentleman but referred to Eto'o as acting in the manner of someone just down from the trees. I know there's societal differences and idioms and all that, but that smacks of alten-Skule Racismus.

That makes GH's Robbie Fowler line sniffing incident look tame.
