Player Rodrigo Bentancur

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

If a player from a rival team did what he did or said what he said, they'd gladly string him up for it.
Bentancur hasn't said anything that I find bad. if he said I looked like my cousin (or whatever his exact words were about Son) I wouldn't give a rat's arse, even if he played for Woolwich.

He got carried away with his emotions in the recent brawl and threw a plastic water bottle. Not smart but not unforgivable.

If the bloke that the bottle hit doesn't press charges then the matter is over IMO.

If other people can't forgive him, that's up to them.

If you'd happily make those exact same comments if some one from Woolwich or Chelsea did it then fine. But if you were lynching them for it then it's not OK.
 
Anybody who wouldn’t react by trying to protect their family is a liar or a pussy. I’m all in there and respect every one who went for it. Fuck standing back and seeing your family in danger. You wouldn’t let anyone do that shit on the street never mind a football stadium.

They are also completely ignoring how much more dangerous it is to be the family member of a footballer in the Americas.

People love to judge the world from a Eurocentric high horse when they have no idea what other people's lives and cultures are like.
 
I've read different reports of what started the trouble, Gimenez claimed afterwards the players families were getting attacked but there is very little evidence elsewhere to support this, it appears the players were responding to taunts from Colombian supporters and completely lost control. I personally have no idea what the truth is . I definitely would not have responded by throwing bottles into a crowded area made of various random people women and kids included.
So you think they lost their shit because everything was fine ??? Deluded.
 
The flat out fucking hypocrisy of some on here boils my piss.
If a player from a rival team did what he did or said what he said, they'd gladly string him up for it.
But because a person who is paid to play for Spurs does it, people try to excuse it.

Same for when the likes of Romero gets sent off - "it was barely a red, maybe not even a yellow"
Mate, he cut the bloke in half then spat in the wound.
"Yeah, but it looks worse in slow mo"
If any Tottenham fan was putting opposite teams players families in danger I’d go for it with a Tottenham fan. Fucking cowards.
 
That's fine. But if they did the same, I would expect the same level of forgiveness
But I hate woolwich so I have double standards for their players. As far as I’m concerned, whatever they do was wrong and if there is a chance to point out they are bad at football I’m taking it, even if it’s also something a Spurs player is bad at.
I don’t care about the hypocrisy because I hate them.

And therein lies the definition of Club alliegence!

I can't get down with that.
Not at all.
Shut up you tart... Look at the above reply!

It's UNASHAMED bias... Based on WHAT club you support...

You think any Liverpool or Woolwich fans felt ANY sympathy with both Dele Alli or Richie's mental health struggles... Of COURSE NOT!

by the same token, do you think ANY Spurs fan has considered the fact Thomas Partay might NOT be a rapist
..? Of COURSE he is! (Even if he isn't!)

That's the point!
 
I’m sorry, but having had a family member die because of a head injury, I just can’t condone what Bentancur did.

I don’t care what the reasons are for throwing the bottle, head injuries are no joke

I don't support hypocrisy.
You'd look a right tit if you were spitting venom at someone from Arse for saying Asians look alike and then excused a Spurs player for it. It gives you no credibility at all and the argument becomes null and void.
