Celtic v AC Milan

I don't know if there has been a thread on this already. Apologies if there has.

Most of us will have seen the incident when the youth ran on the pitch after the winner was scored. I think we all agree that this is unacceptable but what about Dida?!! Should he face punishment?

Just the punishment he would face for the offence of running on the pitch, as realistically that's all he's guilty of. Any criminal proceedings relating to affray/assault should not take place, as TV pictures show this not to have happened.

He shouldn't have run on the the playing area, (I understand the passion of last minute winner etc) - It's an offence - but that should be the end of it.

If I was the lad I would be kicking myself, He had run on the pitch so was screwed anyway, Might aswell have chinned him and done something worthwhile whilst he was at it.

You can't have people running on the pitch, end of story. And you also can't have people pretending they have been seriously assaulted when they haven't. In the real world, if you pretended you had been seriously physically assaulted when you hadn't you'd be done for wasting police time and perhaps even for malicious intent.

What I don't understand about this Dida bloke is that he must of known that TV cameras had filmed the incident and so must have known he wouldn't get away with it.

f***ing hell where was I! Still A good effort mind.

Thats the one thing I hate about video replay. get cited for the slightest thing these days. In the amateur game knowing you have smashed someone can change a game. To smash someone you generally hurt them, To hurt them you generally have to go a little high Embarassed

Ive had 3 broken noses, Concussed 3 times and smashed my knee ligaments in what started as a high tackle, Oh and had 3 stitches in my head on the side of the pitch from a high tackle. The better standard of amatuer game the better the refs become(Seemingly unlike football), However also the better players become at putting highshots on.

Would you class this as a high shot? Some would some wouldnt, Me, No Chance.

Never been hurt in the tackle on the floor... Not properly anyway.

High spirits or not at notching a late winner, the Celtic fan deserves what he gets, basically for encroaching the playing area as the game was technically still in progress and fronting up to a player. Dida's reaction was farcical. On seeing him collapse after turning and running towards the encroacher, I guessed he'd been struck by something thrown from the crowd (which was on his LEFT side as he fell to the floor). But when he was being stretchered off, he put the icepack to the RIGHT side of his face/neck. It can only have been total over-reaction from the light 'tap' he received.

In that instant, he became just as big a pr*ck as the Celtic fan.

Milan, when they're not fixing matches, the players are throwing themselves around Wink

Apparently both Dida and Milan are going to face fines, and Dida maybe even a suspension for his unsporting behaviour'.

Just a relief that their future games are not behind closed doors.

The keeper looked a right tool but apart from that I can't see why this kind of 'simulation' is any different to what we see almost every day in football, why ban him when they don't ban Drogba?

The main difference, to me, is that Dida's complete overreaction could have caused a lot more trouble than a Drogba dive winning Chelsea a penalty. For starters, it could have sparked a mass riot, people knew he was faking it, one person had already ran on the pitch, him doing that wasn't going to calm anything down and could well have lead to much worse (we all know what the Scots are like Wink

).

There's also the fact that his over reaction could well have seen Celtic docked points, match abandonment, etc etc. A little more than a freekick/penalty.

I'm not agreeing with the punishment on Dida, they're just reasons, I do feel the Celtic punishment is about right though.

I don't know why everyone is having a go at Dida, I thought that song she did that was sampled by Eminem was quite good and she's quite fit....
