Totti!

[Scarface]

Whats up with this freak?

Spitting all over folks.

Disgusting.

On Wednesday, however, images of the AS Roma striker spitting in the face of Denmark's Christian Poulsen in Italy's opening Euro 2004 game drew a very different response.

Within minutes of the pictures appearing on Danish television channel DR1 News, the station's website was flooded with apologies from Italian fans, disgusted at Totti.

"Totti is not a gentleman. He should be sent home from the European Championship," read one.

"Apologies from Rome. No one in Italy approves of what Totti has done. I'm sincerely saddened by this," said another.

UEFA has charged Totti with "gross unsporting conduct" following a complaint from the Danish Football Association (DBU). His fate will be decided at a UEFA disciplinary committee hearing early on Thursday.




WHat was going through his head?

[Scarface]

Imagine if he had hepatitis or some **** like that.

Bloody un sanitary to be spitting in peoples faces.

I cant understand why he would do it ..... he must have know it was going to be seen .... there about 30 cameras at these games ....

[Gazza54b]

He should have been thrown out completely, filthy git

[thegloaming]

Oh, he should have been sent home from Euro 2004, and then banned not only from international competitions, but also from whatever football events he could play on..

This three-match punishment is pap.. well, his image has been deeply scarred; I guess he'll have a lot to explain..

[Andy Villa]

he should be criminally charged in my opinion. spitting is classed as assault......

[Logan]

He should have been thrown out completely, filthy git

Agreed

[stevengemmell]

Yup Good player, but a filthy bugger

[g0dsLayeR]

That totti guy sounded like a troubled little soul that got away easy with his in-humian act.

[Phatbowser]

That is ridiculous.

[stevengemmell]

If Somone spat at me or My girl, Id kick their arse

[Scarface]

If that danish fellow had done that though .... he probably would have got banned to ....

[stevengemmell]

True....Still lol

Bloody italiens do **** like that all they get is a ban :sarcastic

[Phatbowser]

I hate Italians, scum of the earth I tewll you!

[Andy Villa]

i take great offence at that considering iv got italian blood in me..........

[stevengemmell]

Ive nowt against the italians, or totti for that fact, only his conduct on the pitch

[Andy Villa]

alexander frei of switzerland is being investigated for it too.. disgusting act but no need to slate a whole nation over the actions of 1 player.....

[Gazza54b]

I hate Italians, scum of the earth I tewll you!
Thats a very sweeping statement, the Italians as a whole are ok, they have their share of scumbags the same as any other country...

[stevengemmell]

I agree.

Spitting is just dirty, at any level

And I like the italiens, got a few good mates who are from naples

[thegloaming]

Yeah, I second both of your statements, mate.. spitting and any other form of disrespect towards someone is just plain nasty..

And there's nothing wrong with the italians.. in fact, part of my family comes from there.. and they're pretty nice people..

[Scarface]

It seems the only thing the bible has taught Phatbowser is to hate and be intolerant of others cultures.

Funny that.

[thegloaming]

alexander frei of switzerland is being investigated for it too..
Frei spat on Gerrard during the match England vs. Switzerland, right..? Both players have been called this afternoon by UEFA, so that this matter could be discussed..

And I had kinda noticed that too, Scar.. it's pretty weird indeed..

[stevengemmell]

Thats why people get put off christians, Im a christain. I do my best to act like one

Phatbowser proclaims to be one, yet his actions say different
