Irish people are incredibly racist.Out of habit?!

surely he was just spitting on the floor, as per every footballer all the time?
BT are blowing the 'spit' out of all proportion, unsurprisingly.
There's no way he was spitting at him, he was just spitting and it went near him. Understandable for Cisse to think there was something in it, but the commentary and punditry is making it out to be a horror show.
The bigger deal is that Cisse lashed out with his foot.

Didn't see Cisse spit back. Did he?
Can't remember a UK/Irish footballer spitting and getting banned. When was the last one?
Can remember a few Europeans.
Ah yes, El Hadji Diouf the proud Irishman.El Hadji Diouf got a 3 game ban in 2004
Sorry thought he ment pl playersAh yes, El Hadji Diouf the proud Irishman.
Did he spit at him though? He spat, I don't think anyone can deny that, but it was nowhere near him.I can see him being banned for spitting. That was really stupid
Difficult to say and we need to see it from different angles but first reaction was it was very close to Cisse which is just daftDid he spit at him though? He spat, I don't think anyone can deny that, but it was nowhere near him.
It was a stupid thing to do.Difficult to say and we need to see it from different angles but first reaction was it was very close to Cisse which is just daft
I'd be very surprised if he was banned for that spit. Just a standard footballer spitting every 30 seconds.
Excellent performance tonight.
Now that he is getting a bit better he will probably get banned.It was a stupid thing to do.
Apart from that he played very well today.
I think you underestimate the stupidity of the average footballer, myself.Not when they're facing an opponent and in that closer proximity they don't.
Footballing wise, he was very good tonight - which makes the spitting nonsense all the more annoying.
Wouldn't surprise me.Now that he is getting a bit better he will probably get banned.
Sorry, but who spits on the ground that close to someone? Even if your being incredibly lenient, it's still a bit disgusting. I don't imagine I'd be too thrilled if someone spat that close to me on a football field, especially if I was on the floor too.
Not excusing what Cisse did mind, that's just outright idiotic.
There's still a big distinction between spitting at somebody's feet and spitting at them. One is just an expression of hostility and the other is the equivalent of a blow.
