Nice Headbut!

[Ginge]

Any thought on what was so bad that made him do it?

 

[timmystood]

Christ knows!! Something really bad must have been said to him!

 

[jarmado]

heat of the moment?
frustration?
loose nut in the head?

We tend to forget with the genius players that they can be hot headed and Zidane has a track record, he got sent off for a stamp in 1998 too (though not the final).

I don't know what was said that would cause a player of his ability to do that if I were him, I'd have laughed and gone on to get the winner, which he still looked capable of doing I tell you what though, I wouldn't like to get hit or headbutted by him

Allegedly he was nip-tweaked, though from what I saw on the news, the Italian deserves an oscar for going down as if shot by a 12 bore...

Yeah. I read in the paper he was called a terrorist due to the fact he is half algerian or something.

Respect to Zidane




If he didn't do that, France would have won. Oh well...

 

[Ginge]

Are you guys talking about this one?

Yeah the one where he headbuts him.

 

[timmystood]

According to the news he said something about his sister!

 

[Siamese Fighter05]

Insulted his mother who is seriously ill in hospital now, apparently

 

[jarmado]

rumours...rumuors...
tskkk..tskkk.tskkk..

 

[orientmatt]

What a stupid pillock. Practically handed the cheating itals the world cup on a plate.

Yer apparantly zidane nutted him cos he said his mum was a hore and zidanes mum is ill in hospital. I would accept that excuse...still silly though. Wot i dont understand is why headbutt him in the chest, go for the nose and cause some real damage...mite as well, u get sent off neway.

According to BBC News last night, they had an Italian lip reader on and he said something along the lines of "ugly death on you and your family" then told him to cough 4 times

Still there's no excuse for it on a football pitch I would understand him doing it especially with his mum being very ill and I would probably have reacted in the same way in fact I'd have knocked his teeth out of his head for him. I can't condone it at all, but if you're gonna react, you shopuld inflict as much damage as possible

I agree with what you lot are saying. He was going to get sent off anyway and it was his last game ever so he didn't need to worry about suspension so I would have knocked him out and stamped on his b*ll*cks!
