Of course it is allowedGattuso needs to grow up.
No, the headbutt was the worst offence.
Tottenham coach Joe Jordan called Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso a "******* Italian b******", which sparked the Italian's attack after the final whistle, agent Claudio Pasqualin has revealed.
Gattuso faces a Uefa discplinary for headbutting the Scot after a bad tempered second half at the San Siro .
But, in circumstances similar to the Zinedine Zidane - Marco Materazzi feud, Pasqualin claims Jordan sparked the fire.
"What seems clear to me is that my client was seriously provoked by Joe Jordan," Pasqualin told Radio Kiss Kiss.
"Jordan, after having continuously beaked at him, insulted him with the lowest of phrases '******* Italian b*****'.
now let's not be silly. calling someone names is nowhere near as bad as squaring up and trying to headbutt them. If JJ has actually said that, then it just shows how narrow-minded he is, but banter is prevalent in sport at all level (i'm not calling xenophobia banter though), and players should rise above it or give him stick back. Being an ambassador for the game like Gattuso is supposed to be, he should not be flailing around on the groud like a child, squaring up to people and trying to hurt them.
Plus, Joe Jordan was a very popular player when he was at AC Milan
So you are allowed to call a player **** ******* ******* ******** ******* as a manager/assistant manager? Sorry but i highly doubt FIFA or w,e promote that and
Still, nothing in the leaning into his forehead really, and if there was it should be a 2 season ban as that guy was banned for putting his hand near the refs neck.
EDIT:
If true i'd lamp him. (or attempt to, heard he's hard =<)
Everyone has different temprements, but there is no reason to insult someone over absolutely nothing, thats just a big as offence in its own if hes trying to get a reaction out of the player.Shows what delicate feelings Gattuso has then, can't take it on the chin like a man. See Napoleon complex.
Wow if thats true what Jordan said then shame on him as well but still no reason to go and lamp him one...if anything Gattuso should have just told him to STFU and score a goal himself then go celebrate in front of Jordan...that would have been a more apt way of getting back.
Yeah well racism isn't banter, or Materatzi insulting Zidane's ill mother was it? Both were asking for it, and as a coach/assistant you are still an ambassador to the sport and should conduct yourself properly, throwing mindless abuse is not conducting yourself properly.
His popularity changes nothing.

Clearly throwing abuse/harrasing Gattuso, unless that is allowed?
Gattuso didn't get wound up because the old timer is ugly did he?
Blown out of proportion this, basically put his forehead against the old guys, if thats a headbutt, zidanes must have been some sort of super saiyan headbutt out of dragonballz

More in that headbutt tbh and what happened to him? Global ban ;D?

So what he called him some name? Are you trollin' or something?! THIS IS FOOTBALL. Every other word out of most people's mouths in the stadium is something childish and nasty. Is it right? No. Is it something to headbutt someone over? Hell no.
Grow up.
Apparently Eric le **** frog was OK booting a fan in the face when they played (IIRC) Palace? I'm sure he said something to him after all...
I dislike Nani greatly.

There is a difference between shouting something as a fan and a coach, essentially it should be the same but its not, the coach is representing the sport and his club.
Neither of these situations are correct but hypothetically speaking, a coach should shout abuse at other players just like fans do and it should be fine and they shouldn't be punished like fans?
What about if a fan chants 'Munich', 'Murderers', 'Hillsborough', they get away with it, i cannot see a manager or assistant manager getting away with it. Just because its less vulgar its still wrong and they shouldn't be allowed to do it.
Gattuso should be banned, as should Joe, both conducted themselves poorly, Joe has clearly been fueling the bonfire with unacceptable behaviour, but **** me there are bigger problems in sport than Gattuso being allowed to play. De Jong being the prime example.
