ade explains

[Paulmcfc2703]

The only thing this incident has proved is that there are some complete and utter tools who post on this site lol.

No perspective on life. No compassion. No class.

Did we think Ade was an Arsenal fan when he was sticking it in the back of the net against them and busting a gut to rub it in their faces.

Some City fans cannot wait to have a pop at our players. It's sad, but it's a fact. We all know it. This was worse though, given the circumstances. I agree it was a new low.

I'm sure all the sane posters living in the actual world would agree with me when I say looking forward to welcoming you back to OUR club Ade. Whenever you're ready mate.

Did I really read someone saying he should have been thinking about fucking marketing lol. Unbelievable.

Top post mate.

Comments like 'well he is a millionaire so he should of bought a new shirt' are very embarassing

 

[not my fault!]

What Ade has done has been viewed by fans on here anywhere between not giving a stuff because of what he went through to bordering on damnation.

Everyone is fully entitled to their own opinion though

I really doubt that Ade wore the Arsenal shirt deliberately to piss off his employers as well as City supporters - he just made a mistake.

^^^ This is how I feel, nothing against the player and my heart goes out to him but a stupid think to do on live TV in my eyes.

 

[SalfordCityBlue]

i'm amazed at what a bunch of mugs we seem to be. did anybody think that he was going to come out and say "i wore the shirt because i still love arsenal"? of course not. he was always going to come up with an "explanation". so the only shirt he could have possibly borrowed was an arsenal top? he couldn't have swapped with any of the other players? miraculously a city shirt is available the next day. how gullible can you get? at least he didn't pull the trauma card.

I'm amazed that you can even think about such fucking trivialities without even a hint of compassion for what one of OUR players has just gone through.

Just stop and think about it for a second. Put yourself in his shoes. Then try and give a fuck about what you are saying is a 'crime'.

Roberto Mancini also eats in Ferdinands Restaurant at top of King Street. Now what does that make him? Does it make him a Rag? Lets get this all into perspective or should we all start a 'Mancini Out thread'

belly2000:
Get a grip will you, like I say we have different opinions end of. So calling me a Clown makes you feel better? And I'm the petty one eh, lol. If he had done the interview on the day or even the day after then I'd agree with you but he had been home Five days and couldnt find a shirt? It's laughable.


garyowensgolfclubs:
So eating in a restaurant is the same as being on TV in an oposing teams shirt? lol. ffs, it's ok for you to both have an opinion but I cant?

My view is he was an idiot, Five days after the event he's at home in his own country and he has no clothes so has to borrow an Arsenal shirt? Think about it eh, he's had five days to buy or find a shirt. Like I say very sad events (watch a mate die myself) but having an interview (his choice) in a competitors shirt I find wrong.

Maybe I was a bit harsh calling you a clown - Apologies. (More to do with some of the other "blues" in the original Ade thread). But he returned home to Togo on Sunday and gave the interview yesterday, Tuesday - Hardly 5 days, more like 2 days by my reckoning. Can you not see though how his mind may have been elsewhere after all that happened?

 

[J.Marr is Genius]

I don't like what he did.
It's 3 days after, he can be socked, afraid, unsure, lost in his thoughts.
But not unpolite. I can't beleive an Arsenal shirt was the only one available to borrow.
I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose or for declaring something, he just didn't care.
We're no big rivals with Arsenal, it's not a matter between us & them. It's about his character.
Even in my darkest hour i would have the decency to respect other people.
It's a minor thing, no boos & abuse for Ade are acceptable, i just don't trust him much.

Good luck Ade, come back and score for us and be a big boy from now on ...

No one should have to apologise for what they thought. They had there thoughts but got it wrong, So what. Lets move on please from the shirtgate please

That is where you are completely and utterly wrong. If people had kept their thoughts as thoughts then fine. However, many so called fans found it necessary to vent their spleens and spout utter drivel and bile against a guy who had almost lost his own life and saw his friends and colleagues gunned down before him. Unfortunately most of these idiots, when asked to feel some empathy towards the guy for what he had just experienced, probably turned on gears of war or some other such video game and thought to themselves, "whats the problem you just have to duck". You can ask some people to engage their brains and reflect on things they have mistakenly said but unfortunately you will never get through to mindless MINORITY.

lol, beautifully put. Hadn't thought of it that way.

Excellent post all around, although hugely depressing.

 

[1961_vintage]

I am sickened by the thought that any City fan should consider that Adebayor has done anything wrong whatsover. Totally sickened.

As has been said elsewhere, given the circumstances the guy could have worn a rag shirt as far as I am concerned - it is totally and utterly irrelevant when placed in the context of what he gone through with his team-mates and friends and as a victim of this terrorist attrocity.

There should be no silent majority on these kind of issues guys - time to make your views known, and those that posted any kind of criticism of Adebayors choice of shirt should be seriously ashamed.

 

[80s Shorts]

seriously

the people involved have upset the rest of us very badly

you can expect to cop it for the forsee-able future, until you apologise or show some understanding of just what has upset us so much

this was bluemoon's darkest episode by a long, long way

What a fucking drama queen. If you choose to believe every bit of pr you see and hear then good luck to you. If you think that entitles you to remind anyone about it for a long time, then good luck to you again. Hope it makes your life worth living.

Moomba, Ade had just been shot at and nearly died. His friends / colleagues did die. He dragged a team mate who had been shot and was bleeding all over the place under a seat next to him to try and save his life. The men were crying, screaming and totally terrified. Apparently the bus driver died almost instantly. The others who died, died slowly in agonising pain. NOW CALL ME A DRAMA QUEEN YOU GODFORSAKEN ****.

 

[harry the plumber]

The hysteria on this site is quite laughable.

Everyone coming on here spouting their moral high ground is pathetic.

Calling other City fans for having an opinion, demanding that they make apologies. FFS get over yourselves!

My personal opinion is that he should not have worn that shirt regardless of the situation. He is paid a good salary by his employers and part of his role should be to represent the best interests of the club at all times - Any shirt without another clubs brand would not have been a problem so why take the risk? If you say that the emotion of the situation etc., to me that doesn't stack up. I presume he dressed himself.

Tribute or not it was at best ill-judged.

Just an opinion - and no I will not apologise for it.

on the nail!

i'm amazed at what a bunch of mugs we seem to be. did anybody think that he was going to come out and say "i wore the shirt because i still love arsenal"? of course not. he was always going to come up with an "explanation". so the only shirt he could have possibly borrowed was an arsenal top? he couldn't have swapped with any of the other players? miraculously a city shirt is available the next day. how gullible can you get? at least he didn't pull the trauma card.

Why should he have to explain anything to you or anyone else?
Whilst he is on City duty he will wear City clothing when he is not he can wear what he likes,
And your comment about not playing the trauma card is uncalled for.
Newwsflash.... not all City players are City fans.

i've got compassion. i've got sympathy for what he's been through. but if you just believe that everything that somebody tells you is the truth, that's a shame. of course there's going to be an excuse. i said that yesterday! i mean, we all know the club reads this website and that particular excuse was offered by some of the apologists on here.

 

[MCC]

Let`s just get behind the fella and show him that we love him. The more love he get`s from the fans the better he will perform. It`s just great that he is alive and I wish him all the best and hope that he scores plenty of goals.

 

[bluwilpgs]

Time to put this thread to bed!

Some think he was wrong, some think it was not a problem.

Those that have slated the man for an error of judgement (or not) should maybe reflect on the nature of the 'offence'.

In my opinion he made an error, not a big thing, but an error all the same. None of the 'arguments' on here have made me change my mind.

In perspective it bears no comparison with Garry Cook welcoming Uwe Rosler to the Manchester United hall of fame or whatever it was.

Just an opinion, that's all.

 

[SalfordCityBlue]

That really fucks me off to be honest. The fact that during this time - undoubtedly the darkest of his life, and having endured events the like of which hopefully no one on here will ever have to deal with - someone has had to go to him and bother him with this nonsensical, childish bullshit.

The fact he knows it has caused an issue amongst City fans and he has had to take time out to comment is something I find hugely embarassing.

 

[80s Shorts]

fair do's fella, but maybe Blueinusa is right, maybe I shouldnt be on here anymore as if this is a "debate" with "fans", then i'm not sure I want to part of it anymore tbh, anyway i've got a life to get back to...

I agree Matt, this whole "debate" has left me feeling rather sad. The lack of humanity and general decency displayed by some over the last couple of days has left me a little bewildered. I dont thnk I will be on here much more in future. (cue the trolls saying bye bye then).

It's not about believing or not believing anything, it is about the fact that some people's moral compasses are so horrifically skewed that they can be outraged about a shirt given the events he has been through.

The fact that people think Ade should have been thinking about marketing, or our feelings, or even what he was wearing for our benefit is staggeringly self involved IMO.

you fucking prick. I once witnessed a relativey trivial looking car accident, stopped to check everyone was ok, when I got to the car I looked down and the passenger door of it was embedded in the old lady
passenger's leg, I stayed with her til the ambulance and fire got there and I was utterly distraught - checked the local hospitals over the weekend and it turned out she died later in hospital. I could not drive properly for about 3 bastard months. Now we are talking about a guy who was under machine gun fire for 30 fucking minutes, thought he was a dead man, had a mate die in his arms, and you and others have the fucking neck to criticise him about a shirt he was wearing 2 days after something like that - you fucking stupid, selfish moron, how fucked would your head be after something like that

I have never swore like that on here before but this is a fucking disgrace

Look after yourself Ade mate (BLUE!), I can only imagine how bad you feel, some people just havent got a clue

Agreed. Cringingly awful isn't it?
