Bikey

[Ups and Downs]

Just seen on Eurosport that Bikey is claiming the steward said; "Get up you black bastard!"

Fair play to him I say! Racism has no place in sport.

Er, wasn't the guy he pushed over black?

Yeah he was but not as black as Song.

Only grey??

I've not seen it, but let's just say he thought his team mate was potentially having a bad injury made worse by insensitive and desperate intervention by stewards from Ghana, then a push (not a punch or a kick) in an extreme situation is not good, but hardly cause enough to ban him from the game or (LOL) cancel his Reading contract.

The clip posted on this thread doesn't show that Bikey has trotted over from 15-20 yards away and piled straight into the medic. Ridiculous to claim some form of racism - quite clear on the clip that the medic is as white as I am a Martian. Christ knows what has come over him, but any form of defence of Bikey here is misplaced. He has forcefully pushed over a medic on the field of play, and deserves everything he gets. Idiot.

Just seen it on Sky Sports News and it does look like the guy he's pushed is having some sort of altercation with the bloke treating his teammate.

It doesn't excuse what he's done but it might offer some kind of explanation.

I don't know what's funnier, the actual incident or the reaction on here

At least with the incident it came as something of a surprise, mind you having the strength to push a man 10-12 metres could be vital in the coming weeks

irony's not a concept you're entirely comfortable with, is it?

[cmonurz]

Oh it is, it's you I don't get, leon.

He only pushed him ffs it's not like it was GBH.

I've not seen how far he ran only from the moment of the shove, and it was forcefull, but you lot do seem to be overstating things a bit. He could do that 100 times and the guy he shoved wouldn't get hurt.

Stupid, red card and serious word needed, but I'd like to hear from Bikey why he did it. And as long as he doesn't do it again I honestly don't see why you're getting out the rope and looking for the lynching tree.

Indeed. I'm sure most of us have done worse on a Saturday night.

What an idiot and what a shame...

[Friday's Child]

That is one of the most absurd, but most potentially great PR moments in the history of RFC....

I have to say it was really funny. Something to tell your (non-Reading supporting) friends about to be sure. Let's just hope he doesn't get a ban which carries over into the league...

Personally, I think Bikey will recieve a long ban from FIFA for a minimum of 3 months at all levels. The only incident that springs to mind which is similar was the Di Canio incident, only difference was he was a referee.

Absolute retard. Even if something was going on with the steward/medic guy he had no need to act quite so dramatically. Same ill judgement that has cost him reds before and will do so again. If he was good enough to put up with that temperemant then fine, but actually he's not. I can't imagine Coppell will be happy.

Hmm yes I think you're right unfortunately...

[clauski]

And let's not forget - in injury time, as you are about to qualify for a major international final? Even someone like Rooney wouldn't be that dumb. I think he might regret it come Sunday.

I think Coppell will be furious. I disagree with your comment about his ability though. I think he's a very good player. Needs someone to have a chat to him about his behaviour though...

Zidane's headbutt?
