Adebayor Didn't Use Van Persie's Head As A Bootscraper

[johnny crossan]

The careful Ade watcher will notice that he hyperextends his lower leg regularly in pursuit of the ball. It's a feature of his play. I'm sure he didn't notice RVP, or if he did, he made every reasonable effort to avoid him. Seriously, the club should submit video evidence to show that his alleged "stamp" is actually a trademark.

The videos I've seen look pretty damning really, but I still think Van Ra*ist was asking for it with that ridiculous, lunging, two footed tackle.

TBH he looked shocked he'd caught him,

Adebayor obvioulsy new that the ball was still live and put his foot down in effort to land as quickly as possible and retrieve the ball.

Adebayor is a quality player but you can't really defend that.

Agreed,he was well off balance & being short sighted didn't help.

If he had meant it he would have landed fully like Ball on Ronaldo or Shearer on Lennon.

i've spoken with a number of people and we're all of the same opinion - it looks like he's guilty but there is enough of an element of doubt. a player's face is usually a good indication, and there didn't appear to be any malice when his foot went down. if this went to a crown court, there is no way he could be found gulity.

I wouldn't defend it beyond pointing out that the reaction has been hysterical.

If you were to catch an elbow in the face in a slow-motion replay then it would look horrendous. I can understand the incident being investigated by the FA, but I hope that they take into account Van persie's tackle, and keep everything in perspective.

I am not confident they will do so
