Who cares what was said to Zidane!!?!?!

Who cares what Materazzi said to Zidane! We all know something was said. Materazzi has said so himself. We all know it was something derogative, so why do we need to know what was said?

Is it so loads of school kids can say the same in youth matches around the world? We don't need to know! I don't understand why people keep wanting to know what was said! As Materazzi said himself - go to any Sunday League match and you will hear similar choice language!

Spot on. I can't believe that Zidane hasn't heard something along the same lines before in his career and just ignored them - maybe it was the occasion of the final and his last ever match that made him snap not just the comments.

Materazzi's agent was on and said that it was something that could be heard on many football pitches, many times, all over the world.

Common practice to insult your mother (Americans seem to do it more than most) so why did Zizou take particularly offense this time?

Like the original post said, do we really need to know - it's over and done with, let's move on before screaming ten year olds all round the country are coming out with something similar

And if you're thinking of disagreeing with my post, your mother is a

and your sister is a big fat

I can't help but think of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Your mother is a hamster and your sister smells of elderberries............

Also couldn't agree more.

ZZ, one of my favourite players of all time, surely must have heard worse in his life.

For me, he's just someone with a short fuse who snapped and then tried to get the whole world on his side by crying like a 10year old.

Materazzi is being investigated now by FIFA over this nonsense. Just sums them up - idiots!! If they focused more on all the divers and cheats who are ruining the game instead of trying to make a scapegoat out of a guy who has probably been insulting forwards since he was 7 or 8, then the game would be much healthier.

Perhaps ZZ retired at the right time - he's softening up!!

I agree ,i can remember one particular big gob ,during a match ,calling me a gayboy, after i fell on top of him during a tackle lol,this went on for 70 minutes ,until this lad got sent off.

As he was going off i said i'd see him in the showers with the corner flag lol.

This makes my arse laugh.
Why is it the reserve of people who grow olives to take offence and then blow off like a ten bob rocket every time someone intimates they don't like their mothers cooking.
It's generally used where women are seen as second class citizens and young sons are encouraged to be disrespectful to their mothers and act like the man of the house in preparation for marriage. It is repressed guilt for the lack of respect shown to mothers and sisters at an early age. Discuss

And let us not forget that Zidane has been no angel during his footballing career anyway...I believe he has the most red cards ever [14].

If I did what he did at work (which where he was at the end of the day) I'd lose my job and probably be nicked for some kind of assault. Why don't rules and laws ever apply to the rich and famous??? (The newcastle incident last season springs to mind).
