[QUOTE="best_fullback, post: 389599, member: 15318"] We studied this case in my Sports Law module recently because it is very good for both Criminal/Civil Law outside the area of play, and for provocative language. Simmons genuinely argued in Court that all he had shouted to Cantona to make him launch into the crowd feet first was "Off, off, off! Go and get an early shower!", when in reality Cantona and several witnesses gave testimonies that his language aimed towards Cantona contained far more expletives than possible to state on these forums without getting banned! (I was actually quite shocked when my lecturer read it out!) That tied in with the fact he ran all the way down from his seat to the pitch-side to confront Cantona didn't really wash with his story. Its a shame really because Cantona was stripped of his National Captaincy because of this, and never played for France again. I personally agree with Bullitt that Cantona should have been praised for giving this thug what he deserved. [/QUOTE]
