Adebayor Celebration Courts Controversy

Yes i agree with AW, it's really outta his control and he can't do anything about that. When he was supposed to do something in august he did nothing. This team are no where near the finished article he always calls 'em. I see another trophyless season in view except things change in january. Ade really impressed me, he had a lot to prove to the fans which he did  though it was a bit too harsh!

@ POST If you can't take it,don't dish it outttttt. Its that simple.

But when fans boo Adebayor it shows class right? when they boo Eboue it shows class, when they boo Ashley Cole it shows class?

RvP next time dont start what you cant finish, tussling with Adebayor is bringing a knife to a gun fight you should know

Southgate said it best if the fans are daft enough to boo a player then they should be

able to accept any form of reciprocation from the victim of abuse in this case (Ade), if you cant take it

Emmanuel Adebayor will be charged by the FA today with violent conduct for his stamp on Robin van Persie and will miss the Manchester
derby. The striker will be banned for three matches, with the FA viewing the incident as a red card offence.

But the Manchester City new-boy also faces a list of other disciplinary action, as the FA will also announce its decision to investigate a potential improper conduct charge relating to the same player's incitement of crowd trouble.

And, if the FA chooses to punish a second stamping incident involving Cesc Fabregas, Adebayor's ban could increase to four games.

The first FA charge, I would anticipate, will be made today in respect of the on-field issue and is sure to see the City striker banned for a minimum three matches, as if he received a straight red card. But with the severity of the violent conduct, coupled with the Fabregas incident, the FA have the power to hand out a four game suspension.

The crowd related incident sparked by the player's goal celebration is more contentious, as the last player to be punished for a similar incident, Gary Neville, escaped with a fine - although Nathan Tyson is currently awaiting judgement over a flag waving incident against Derby.

However, attitudes have hardened at Soho Square after the recent crowd disturbances at West Ham, and the FA now believe that the game needs to be urgently cleaned up to improve the chances of the 2018 World Cup bid.

So a suspension is a distinct possibility. Indeed, with the two charges and the prospect of further action over his celebration, Adebayor could face a five match ban in total.

But that is not the end of the player's punishment, with word coming from Manchester City that the disciplinary book will be thrown at Adebayor and an internal fine totalling £200,000 dished out.

I understand that City are hugely embarrassed by the outcry against their £25m centre-forward and plan to make a strongly worded statement condemning his behaviour. The board held a series of discussions throughout Sunday and gave the green light for boss Mark Hughes to have the final say on disciplinary matters. But an indignant City plan to take the disciplinary initiative and act even before the FA decide, inevitably, to issue charges against Adebayor for raking the face of Van Persie.

Hughes will fine his player the maximum possible under the rules, not only for the ugly attack on the Dutchman, but also for the way he celebrated his goal, despite the alleged provocation, in the form of taunts from the Arsenal fans.

Lmao.

He is Football's Kanye West <uglier version though>

You guys have been talking abt Adebayor's unprofessionalism, what about Van Persie Rash Challenge on him. Let's our sense of judgement be fair pls

Up Adebayor

Good you stuck it to those gunner fans who had no respct for your swagga and talent.

Take the match bans. It doesn't matter you have made your POINT.

lol

Adebayor is supposed to be a professional and as a professional you do not join issues with thousand of fans as some of them definitely may not be as intelligent. His wild celebration in front of Arsenal fans was uncalled for. To those of you whos saw nothing wrong in it, his apology after the matc shows he himself knew it was wrong. Adebayor owes much of his rise to stardom to Arsenal irrespective of the fan's boo and he should have handled the situation in a more matured way.

Adebayor deliberately injured Van Persie when both of them have already lost the ball. This is not a good PR for a reigning Africa footballer of the year. Van Persie could have lost an eye to that attack. If Van Persie attempted to injure him as some guys are claiming here, then let's wait for FA's review of the footage as video evidence will clearly highlight who was cynical.

On a positive note for Arsenal fans, Eduardo has just been cleared oh his diving incident. This was another player that has been booed in 3 different matches and has remained cool and calm. He did not run to the England fand to celebrate his goals, he did not stamp any opponent in his traversty, yet he knew he was not at fault. He was eventually cleared of the accusation. That is the definition of class.

As an Arsenal fan, I have no doubt that Ade is a good player, wish him luck at Man city but no regret he left. He just need to rise above this petty level.

 accepted adebayor should have applied a lil bit of maturity to his game. but i hate the way the arsenal fans whine after losing every match., what if arsenal had won by 4---2 would there be this soo much noise about adebayor!  arsenals should grow up and get matured players into the team

mehn! i love that dude called adebayor, he was the ish, say hello suckewrs,i have always known dat wenger aint got shit to offer in soccer
