Bale vs the Banana (Video)

I don't know if anybody else has noticed but Gareth Bale has had his ears pinned back.

They were very noticeable before, huge in fact, and poor Gareth must have been sick of those massive ear sticking out all the time. Probably effected his balance. Or something.

Now, it's no secret that Bale looks a little bit like a monkey and during last weekend's north London derby between Spurs and Arsenal a Gooner hurled a banana at the Welshman as he was preparing to take a corner.

Hilariously, the referee had to walk over to the banana which was directly in Bale's line of sight and remove it from the pitch. He must have seen it and, let's face it, it's pretty bloody funny.

The authorities didn't seem to think so, however, and they have apparently charged the fan or something to that effect.

They appear to be missing the point that this is football and opposing fans are going to give players some stick and perhaps a little verbal abuse.

Granted, this is quite an odd one but at least it is not a coin or something that could harm Bale. If he was hit on the hit head with the banana, heaven forbid, it wouldn't have hurt him one bit. In fact, Bale would have stuck it in his pocket to eat at half-time. Probably

What a prick the writer of this article is. So what Bale had his ears pinned back, at least he could have that surgery done to alter his appearance. You're not that lucky though, nothing known to mankind could stop you from being a wanker.
If someone threw a banana at a black player everyone would be screaming out about how offensive the act was but because Bale is white calling him a monkey is some how less offensive? No. It is still offensive and has no place in modern societies.
As for if the banana hit him..... A banana in its skin has 2 very hard, sometimes sharp, pointy ends and could do a tremendous amount of damage especially if it hit him in the eye! I would be happy to demonstrate this for you if you are willing to let me poke your eye out with a banana?

IDIOT!
