Adebayor

In a time when English soccer needs to be calm, Adebayors actions are less than pleasing. His initial tackle on Van Persie was bad and uncalled for. It seems Adebayor was on a mission to prove something to his old club.

The Van Persie tackle will be reviewed. Strangely as the referee took no action, the FA can review the incident. Had Adebayor been booked the case would be closed. Put his goal scoring celebration was just simple uncalled for.

The English FA hope to be successful in bids for World Cup and Euro Championships. They have put in a lot of hard work to end soccer violence. The recent events from the West Hams game against Millwall will have undone a lot of hard work.

There was no need for Adebayor celebration; there was no need to run the length of the pitch. He deliberately aggregated fans, the result was missiles thrown onto the pitch. Again another picture the FA could do without. The finger is being pointed at the fans, why did they throw missiles. Simple answer Adebayor ran the length of the pitch.

If he had celebrated with the City fans, there would be no missile throwing. Adebayor actions incised a crowd unnecessarily. He should have been aware the travelling fan would be hostile. At a cost of 25.5 million pound and god knows what wage a week he should of simple known better. He hurt Aresnal by scoring a goal that was sufficient.

Adebayor went over the top, he did English football few favours and should be rightly punished. On his wage I would expect a big fine from both FA and Club. Injured stewards will get little credit but they handled the incident very well. Fans throwing a chair was excessive too, so chairs for the stewards will probably be banned from the touchline. An over reaction from the FA to show FIFA were doing something.

There seems to be a low insurgence of fan trouble, and players need to be aware of fan/ club politics. Player should also learn not to be the cause of unwanted crowd disorder.
