Patrice Evra - WAP

[Metalmicky]

As titled.  Left sided full back with talent (see below) - maybe on a pay as you play basis..... just in case he lays into anyone....

Fans think it is good to give dogs abuse to players but then they don’t like it when they get some back.

[BillyStubbsTears]

It's a tough one.

One half of me says, if fans give abuse, they should be prepared to take some back.

The other 99% of me says, if a player is getting £50k per week, he should realise that some of that pays for him to be one of society's pressure valves.

Asymmetric relationships...

But. If he was getting racist abuse I hope he took the f**ker's teeth out.

Firemen and ambulance staff here get far worse abuse at times for a lot less.

Marseille fans are renowned for being animals, no excuse for pulling Kung Fu moves though.

does wap stand for "what a prick"?

[DRNaith]

I remember the national shock when Cantona lost it and attacked a fan, this isn't very different yet it seems to have caused less of a shock.

If he had done it in this country it may have received more coverage.

You may have a point, I also wonder if we're becoming desensitised to news of an extreme nature.  I'm taking this off topic now though.

Or perhaps its not the first time, so less of a shock??

[Chris Black come back]

Is not the point that under ‘eye for an eye’ shouting abuse at a player is fairly dealt with by abuse back - rather than GBH using a studded boot? One to ponder maybe.

[RedJ]

Zinedine Zidane might disagree.

One half of you is 50% how have you got 99% left? 😀😀😀

Both French, are they a bit sensative over the Channel?
