Yaya Toure

[Gnegneri]

The interesting part about the headbutt is that you have three players (Xavi, Messi, Piqué) that are talking to or giving Yaya the look of "what the bloody hell are you doing?" instead gangbanging Martinez.

 

[Samuel Eto'o]

minus a few stray passes and the headbutt he had a solid game

 

[barca96]

i love it when he decides to accelerate.bloody fast guy!!
what did martinez say to him that got him so mad?
he wasn't that mad after the foul but martinez said something to him...
btw how come martinez is soo close to some of our cantera players?
was he from la masia as well?

 

[Galning]

No, he played for the Osasuna youth teams. But maybe some of them know him from the Spanish national youth teams since he played for Spain U17, U19 and U21.

 

[Valon]

Because he is god.

ah that explains it.

who?
yaya or martinez? lol

btw, what did martinez say to yaya?
did any of you guys catch it?

 

[Valon]

Javi

It wasn't a serious headbutt, which is why he only got a yellow, plus the ref was standing right in front of them. But honestly, the foul was absurd. Martinez grabbed on to his shorts like he wanted to rape him or something.

 

[barca96]

matinez didn't get booked for that right?
man..that ref is sooo cool.
he let's the game flow instead of start-stop.

he did get booked but yaya deserved a red which would have been really stupid before the clasico.

he earned the yellow too if im not mistaken, really want to see him again starting for Arsenal and Madrid match

 

[barca96]

yup. it was really stupid.
and some more at that time i thought busi was injured.
but im sure martinez said something nasty.
yaya is not the kinda guy who would lose his temper very quick..
actually some of their players are dirty.
messi received a kick while he was down. that son of a b..........

Anyone know how bad Yaya's knock is?

I said this elsewhere but the ref bottled it, for me...Let the match go on for such long stretches without so much as a whistle and as we all know, merely leads to more & more physical play...Martinez literally grabbed and spun Yaya around and you'd think the ref was waiting for Yaya to go to ground before whistling

I'd be pissed too but it's true he should've stayed composed, didn't need him getting sent off for something so minor

 

[barca96]

but i found martinez quite a gentleman actually..
he could've so easily gone to the ground and gotten yaya a red card.
hopefully they shook hands after the match..

i agree fc barca, sometimes it sucks cos it will lead to more physical tackles like in the EPL
but sometimes it's a good thing as well as it will let us play a free flowing football
