It's definitely not cool to try and sound sarcastic about what a world class player did. :( Bwahahaha…that was a really stupid comment to make!

Perhaps, he a little overdid with celebrating the goal, but still I'm on his side. Why, for Heaven’s sake, the player should confess for scoring a false ball if the blind referee failed to see it??

Seems to be more his sport than football, I mean he likes to jump, fall and handball, so that's the ultimate sport for this guy.

If you want to interprete what I say as you do then that is your business. Twice now you have quoted me as saying ‘harsh' when if you look at the original article I don't use that word once. I think you must be referring to when a say “a little unfair”. You are entitled to not agree with that but it is not the same as “harsh” As for your third paragraph “That sounds remarkably like...” well I'm sorry but once again you have read what I say and given it a massive dose of your own interpretation. I am not feeling sorry for him or trying to defend him from the “boo boys” I'm saying he is big enough to live with his own actions, a completely different thing. I think like Beckham after France 98 and Ronaldo after Germany 06 he will raise his game if he is criticised. In fact I positively want people to boo him as I think he will play even better. Next, you have taken one quote from the original article and one quote from my first reply, stuck them together completely out of context in order to make the claim that I “misunderstand the term provocative”. I can assure you I know what it means. Lastly you question why I “feel the need to come on-line and post a eulogy to a cheat” Again this was not my reason for writing the article at all. If I wanted to write a eulogy I would never begin by saying that something was not so praiseworthy. Nor would I mention that somebody broke the rules. Ok you don't like what Messi did and you don't like my article. Fine, but please don't try to twist everything I've written. You do a great job of putting words into my mouth.

It's a sport! Messi is very clever. The main problem of football is the violence of defenders. So, the rest of players need another weapons. Messi has suffered injuries every match. So, he must react. That's the balance of football. I have the same opinion that edu anierri: at first moment, goal seemed legitimate. But I fear that, in the future, perhaps Messi will be injured in a spanish league for an angry player. That is normal in football. It’s a sport! Messi is very clever.
