I think Materazzi wound Craig Bellamy up in a similar way once as Bellamy punched him in the stomach, he obviously knows the right words although not difficult to annoy Bellamy who admits to having an argument with himself if no one else there.

It's just been on BBC News from ZZ's agent that

"The Italian said something to ZiZou that was extremely insulting to himself, his family and his countrymen"

Unfortunately I think this dispells the "Nipple Cripple" urban legend. Although I have to say that I prefer the NC as it is much funnier.

i meant that the step between being a genius and being insane is very close

Just watched the news.

Apparantly Materazi said "I slept with your mother last night" and then as Zidane walked away he said "Your mother is an Algerian whore".

ZZ's mum was taken into hospital ill a few days before the World Cup Final.

If he is going to react to wind ups like that. what do you think all the opposing defenders are going to do. To lose your rag like that over a few insults does not bode too well for the future. Also if that had been done on the street, he would be charged with assault. He is nothing more than a common thug.IMO

If I was playing football and someone said something about my mum I would normally let it go and give them a nice two footer down the shins at the next available opportunity.

However, if my mum and just been taken ill into hospital and someone said something, I would do something similar to Zizou, Matterazzi is a dirty italian cheat and should be disciplined in some way
IMO.

I dont care what anyone says, things are said on the football field every 10 seconds, some players make it their job to wind up players and try and make them react. ZZ simply had a moment of madness and you cant condone actions like that on or off the football field. Whatever Matterazzi has said doesnt warrant a flying headbutt. ZZ probably had a quick look saw the refs back was turned and the lino not looking and thought right, whack. He probably thought they cant ban after the game as its my last game. I would be very surprised if the 4th official didnt use TV replay to see it. If he did then in the current laws ZZ shouldnt have been sent off as no officials saw the event first hand although a sending was clearly the right action to take. TV replays should be common practice in the professional game especially considering the revenue football creates around the world. Million pound decisions are made by one little man with a whistle. How many other industries allow one person so much liability?

Well fingers,

if you remember a few of us gave you our money plus the responsibilty of looking after it for a competition you were running, IMO there is much more responsibility in that than refereeing a pointless world cup final with no England team!!!

What? thats not really responsibility its trustworthyness (if thats a word). In fairness if I was holding a Million Pounds of everyones money I'd be living off the interest from the last 4 weeks but Â£55 worth of interest doesnt really earn much. Speaking of which you owe me Â£26.50 and Im trusting you that the points were calculated correctly.

Your right, I do owe you some money - well done by the way, you know your stuff about footballers! You should go for Gareth's job, he finished right down the bottom - useless

I am running a dreamteam at Rustington this year with the players that are playing for the 1st 2nds and youth team. He should come top of that!

Bartman's knowledge of the county league is to indepth for him to take in the professional game aswell.
