Off.  Fucking disgusting.  Deserved it too.

What a legend! what a brilliant head butt.  8)

Suppose its a good way to finish your final footy game!!

bit of a prick if you ask me

lighten up people, hes thought 'this guys annoying me, its my last ever game, the refs not looking, fukin have this!' brilliant.

this will be one of those world cup moments noone will ever forget.

What a magnificent headbutt, some fucking force in that.

 I wonder what was said to have caused him to do that.  Will be interesting to hear what he has to say.

boshed him a good'un. what a silly way to end it all, materazzi must've cut right to the core with whatever he said

Fucking Aye Tay's.......

i will say that there was some force in that headbutt

when the ref sent him off he might aswell of nutted him aswell.he wouldnt get suspended would he

can't condone or excuse it but materazzi - who is a downright nasty cunt - must have said something pretty awful for zidane to react like that. it's not like him at all.

i'm gutted for him, what a shitter of a way to end your career. he's not no one to blame but himself.

cracking headbutt though  :D

Might have ended up in prison.  Duncan Ferguson did.

Interesting choice for a parting shot.  If I was French I might be appalled, but since I'm not it raised a rather large smile.  At least he did it properly.

 The French don't really care too much about football, and 30 odd % voted for Le Pen in the presidential election, and he thinks there are too few whites in the French side for it to represent the country.

I wonder how they percieve Zidane.  He's what ?  Fourth generation ?

There were alot of black France fans in London when I was there for the game against Brazil.  Surprised me a little as it's hardly an inclusive country, although I guess if you've made it across the channel you've probably got less to moan about than if you live in a sink estate.

The French will be able to get back to the Tour de France....nice break away by Calzati today into Lorient, and not a black in sight.

Drug takers the lot of them, although how many times did Lance Armstrong win it while supposedly drug free ? :?  

I prefer boules myself.

he is my hero. end of.

 I don't mind a bit of boules myself....I've done a fair bit of long distance pedalling.....getting some fuel, from in my case beer, is the way to go.

Have you read his autobiography?  Something I'd normally steer a million miles from but happened to pick it whilst travelling out of sheer boredom.

Great read, the bloke is a machine and I was very impressed with the way he almost re-built himself from scratch  following cancer

I'm guessing you're talking about Lance, and Leggett is talking about Zidane.  In his first book he harps on about his wife and how brilliant she is, then by the second book he's shagging Sheryl Crow.  Not that I've read either, I just know :D

That's the one.   :D

Shame about zidane. Possibly the best player in my lifetime. Idiotic thing to do. I bet he's regretting it now.

Wise should get on the phone to him and offer him a player/coach role at town.   8)

I would just like to say that I totally condone ZZ's headbut. It was as funny as fuck. What a way to go out!

I would love to know what Matterazzi said to him! 8)

it was a goos head butt but if he's gonna do it he might as well have gone for the face and gone for the nose breaker. If he's retiring he doesn't really have to worry about bans.

I agree that he should have just sparked the guy out. I hate Materazzi. A lot.

Allegedly (and I couldn't see/hear this watching in the pub) the lino only saw the incident as it was replayed on the big screen. If neither the lino or the ref saw it how can they use a replay for this one and nothing else? Bit unfair.

Bit of a shame that he was sent off, but something Matercunt said obviously cut deep to get him to turn round and SLAM him with his head.

Meh what a legend!  It was fucking hilarious and Materazzi is a whinging Aye Tie cunt.  Will be interesting to see what comes out about the incident tomorrow...

i was in a pub tonight with mates and before kick off everyone was going on about zidane and what a great player he is. i said that "hes skillful but hes a dirty cunt gets away with murder very similar to shearer" evryone laughed and took the piss out of me.

now i feel totally justified, that bloke is a great player but he is a filthy fucker who gets preferntial treatment from refs. gets away with murder. wonder how many times hes been sent off in his carear i bet its loads.

fucking magnificent headbutt.

bollocks, he's not a dirty player and never has been. just got a short fuse at times.

Thats they gayest head butt I have ever seen.

Everyone did that when I tipped Italy to win the world cup  :roll:

"bollocks, he's not a dirty player and never has been. just got a short fuse at times."

He's been sent off in a champions league for a head butt, and also sent off in 98 world cup for a stamp before.  Dirty bastard.

And as for Materazzi being a whinging italian cunt, well I bet he's not whinging that much this morning, fair play to him.

Thank fuck for that!I'm the only one in my local that thinks Shearer was a diving cheating cunt who was ALWAYS trying to get players sent off and to hear him on BBC going on and on about players diving(esp Portugal) sticks right in my fucking craw and last night describing ZZ's action as disgraceful-what a fucking hypocrite!Thats from the bloke who deliberately kicked Lennon in the head-CUNT!

No Adje, you're not the only one.  I've been arguing the same with mates for years - Shearer was adirty cynical twat.  FACT.

And he still managed to get the player of the tourney award   :D

absolutely shocking decision. if he wasn't going to retire he would have been banned for ages.

I thought most people agreed that Shearer was a dirty bastard :shock:   I loved that game against Man U a couple of years ago though when he did the best wind up job ever on Roy Keane and got him sent off!

Was that the one where Keane looked like he was about to kill Shearer and you could almost see Alan fill his pants in fear in front of 50,000 adoring geordies.

I wish Keane had gone for him Shearer was panicing for a while then.

Shearer's a fucking cheating asshole.  The amount of people that don't even recall that Lennon incident is shocking.  The way he said "ban me and I'll retire from international football" was a disgrace.

three sendings off in a fairly long career doesn't make him a dirty player.

materazzi is a dirty cynical fucker.

shearer was as well.

zidane wasn't.

you cant defend him.

and me. Thankfully I'm £55 better off now because of it :D

And Shearers dirtyness was ace. He was one of the few forwards who dished out as much as they recieved. Will always remeber him splattering some Maltese (i think) centre backs nose all over his face after the "hard man" kicked him a few times.

Yeah I'm a little gutted my net went down before the start if the tourney, meant that I couldn't put a bet on and I had to revise/do exams so a bookies was out of the question. Oh well.

My cousin knows someone who put £2k on Italy to win the cup before the tournament started  :shock:

FIFA have confirmed that there will be no further action taken against Zidane.  Materazzi made racist comments to the Algerian blooded frenchman and Zidane's violent reaction has been endorsed by fifa's new campaign of "Let's Headbutt Racism Out of Football"

I think there is a world of difference between dirtyness and play acting.  I've always considered the wind-up side of things to be perfectly acceptable.  The odd word in the ear, standing on boot laces, the odd "miss timed" tackle.  The nasty stuff gets punished anyway, but the general banter etc is fine with me.

Play acting is different, it's attempting to get someone sent off as a direct result of you pretending.  if someone gets sent off because they reacted to a wind-up, that's their own fault, but to get punished for doing absolutely nothing is unfair, and hence why I hate the diving that has steadily become common place.

Well good, that!
