banned from greece's national team forever

"I didn't know what the salute meant"

LMFAO

As ridiculous as it seems to not know what that means, RvP did it instinctively after his Chelsea goal last year and Gervinho did it earlier this season all the time. Maybe he's a big Arsenal fan and is just as oblivious as to its meaning as Gervinho is

Just sticking your hand up = nazi salute?

Yeah, I mean, sure, that's how Nazis did salute, but it's a very simple gesture, I could imagine players doing it without thinking about it, raising your hand up in the air like that. Obviously don't know what's the truth in this player's case.

I mean he scored a crappy goal and has a tattoo that says "get rich or" can't see the rest lol.


Who knows if he knew or not.

Just fine him and move on. He is 20 ffs

LOL retard, glad he's banned for life.

Bet he gets signed up to Lazio next season.

massive overreaction .

think its more of a case of ignorance/trying to look cool . What self-respecting nazi will have "Get rich or die trying" tattooed on him ?

there are self-respecting nazis?

maybe the economic situation made him read some "motivational Books" written by austrian men

Isn't having missappropriated self respect a requirement to being in the club?

The Nazis were incredibly harsh on the Greeks during their occupation in the war, as they were with every occupied nation. Very sensitive stuff for Greece though so I understand why they came down so hard on this guy.

The player did a nazi salute , end of it. He won't play for the national team ever again and his current club will offload him first chance. These fascist bullshit should be non existant in 2013 , never mention showing up in football fields.

The funny part is , when he was asked about it after that match, he did hold an agressive stance , never took it back .But when he was informed of the consequences of his action , he apologised by saying he was "saluting a friend in the stands"..

fascist c^#t ..

LMAO

If he meant it then the ban is justified and fkn hilarious watching the scrub ruin his life. However, it really is a simple salute.

It's like some crazy bastard coming along and fist pumping his chest after he commits mass genocide.... 65 years later somebody scores a goal and does the same celebration out of a pure adrenaline rush, does he know the meaning? Maybe, maybe not.

They were indeed, as you said , like with every occupied nation. But this incident is the result of social brainwashing . Since that Golden Dawn half-brains who think they are descendants of ancient greeks got into politics , we cannot seem to hear the end of it. These stuff are not something rare these days , sadly enough.

Although i am most pleased with his punishment. It may pass a bigger message to the common dead-brain people who share the same laughable views around here.

And he sucks as a player as well

People pls.

These are footballers we are talking about,often uneducated and ignorant of any common knowledge,including history.

As someone said,fine the kid and move on.

Just wait until his grandma gets hold of him

it probably says get rich or die trying.

LOL there is a Neo Nazi political party there if anyone is interested, and this guy might be a part of them, they like got 26% of the total vote count last time if I remember correctly.

This kid knows what he is doing.

the chav tatt says......Get rich or claim benefits (50 pence)

the man seems like an academic

Future Lazio legend.
