In case you're wondering why I negged your post, its because I hate the kind of mob mentality you're exhibiting here. How is a violent response by a group of people against an individual less worse than someone using verbal abuse? Thinking like that makes you no better than the racist people you seem to hate so much.

TBH, I have no interest in ratings or why you've rated me how you have. Racists need to have the sh*t kicked out of them - neg away :)

Sorry fella, totally disagree! I've played in a few games where team mates have been seriously injured and as a collective we have always made sure the guilty party has paid in the reverse fixture.
It's called looking out for your team mates, I wish our guys would do it more.

If players refused to shake hands with every player who plays dirty or cheats, there would be a lot of that happening. It's part of the game and should be observed IMO.

Or else, do away with the tradition altogether or just let the two captains shake hands.

I don't disagree that sometimes it may be deserved, but doing it as a response to just an doesn't seem right to me (doing it as a group I mean, it seems a bit cowardish to me).

Extreme or radical racist maybe, but those who doesn't take their racism that far don't deserve that kind of treatment.

It's never discussed as it's an unwritten law, anyone who fancies a tackle will always grab an opportunity for a bit of retribution!

I'm sorry fella, gonna have to disagree on that. There is no extreme racism - there is either racism or not. There is no liberal democrat of racism (ie: middle of the road, neither far right or far left, etc) - there is racism or not. And if you're racist, you deserve to have the sh*t kicked out of you (not you personally of course......unless you're a racist!!!! ;))

Coming away with 3 points is the perfect answer to him. Obviously if the chance arises then hit him hard and often, but above all win the game then just ignore him or laugh at him as they wish when it's all over.

If the Spurs players sort out their collective differences on the pitch Zokora v Emre style I don't see the problem.

It happens in rugby if the opposition used their studs to rake you, you get up and the next scum you throw a simple uppercut.

Emre wasn't stretchered off from a deliberate double leg break or knocked unconscious.

Simply just lumps, bumps and bruises and enlarged testicles as a reminder not be a Class A nob jockey.

serious question, can you get sent off before the game kicks off? Never thought of it before!

Can get sent off after game has ended, so assume can do beforehand too. See if Lloris comes out on his own tomorrow to see if that's the case ;)

Tim should be using this as an opportunity to draw attention to the fact that Adam has badly injured our players on numerous occasions - several of which looked like a deliberate attempt to cause harm as well - so that the referee dishes out the appropriate punishment and prevents anyone from being injured again.

When Adam is let off for his first horrific 'tackle' of the game Tim may well be eating his words.

Well, just to focus on Charlie Adams - Referees do nothing to stop or even deter him from doing this. The FA trust their referees. Other professionals discussing what a dirty, dangerous player he is in the media hasn't stopped him. Him regularly putting other players on the treatment table for months on end hasn't elicited a response from anyone who is willing to do anything about it.

With regards to racists - "Kick It Out" and about half a billion other initiatives to address racism in football, in countries across the globe and ten times as many non-football related campaigns and, on top of all of that, plain old fashioned tolerance and common sense - are you suggesting that racist players may not have seen any of this and are simply ignorant of their bigotry?

NEITHER side can claim to be unaware of what a ****y attitude they are displaying, they are both bombarded with criticism from all angles and in all manner of ways, yet they still do it.

It's at this point when you have to ask what exactly else can be done. I don't condone violence but, in the case of Charlie Adams, fighting fire with fire is the only option considering all the water has been used up and achieved fuck all.

So you're actually supporting the use of violence against people based only in the way in which they think or feel, no matter how they act?

That's simply disgusting, and the fact that people are actually agreeing with you only makes me feel sad about the state of our society. You're no better than those racists you hate so much. In fact, you may actually be worst as it seems you're one of those who believes violent ways should be used to control and influence the ways in which other people think or feel.

And to believe that peace solves all is naive. Circumstance dictates the necessary reaction - you think that backing a dog into a corner with violence, that dog isn't at some point going to bite you back? Any creature that has a shred of self preservation will bite back at some point.

Charlie Adams is a bully. He's the Biff Tannen of the EPL - George needs to get mad.

of course I'm supporting the use of violence against racists. Also for homophobes. You want me to provide a list?

I have no interest in influencing the way they think (or what you think). I don't care whether you think I'm worse than them - the only good racist is a dead one.

anyway, taking the thread away from the issue of Adams so ta-ta for now. :)

So nice for you to show your true colours.
