Paolo Di Canio - Never a dull moment

tommyhaas

Just reported on SSN,

Swindon boss Paolo Di Canio was involved in an amazing bust-up with striker Leon Clarke at the full-time whistle when he pulled the player's jersey before the pair had to be separated in the tunnel.
Clarke walked back down the tunnel moments later without entering the Swindon dressing room before leaving the pitch 20 minutes later. DI Canio did not speak to the media afterwards.

It certainly looks, from the footage on SSN as if Di Canio threw a dig or two, impossible to see if he connected though. Great to have him back all the same

The Swindon Chairman just speaking about it now, looks as if it was Leon Clarke who was more in the wrong. From what he was saying, Clarke started an argument initially with the fitness coach and then Di Canio on the pitch instead of in the dressing room

I find it strange that Di Canio is seen as a loveable rogue by most people in England and Ireland. He's a fascist.

I agree with you. People seem to bypass the fact that he's a fascist. Just because a player caught the ball in open play instead of scoring on an open goal when the went down keeper injured, does not excuse the fact that he's an unrepentant, proud fascist.

Hypocrites. We're all hypocrites.

He is scum.

Good footballer in his day, but yes, a fascist.

An utter **** of a man, and that's coming from a Celtic fan. **** him.

DiCanio may be a fascist, but a lot of people seem to link it automatically to racism and/or being a Nazi.
Which he's not.

I've seen him at West Ham once and a nicer guy you couldn't find, had time for everyone, posed with the kids (yes, even the black kids, shock horror!), talked to everyone who wanted to (I was scared to talk to him ).

Clarke can look for another club btw.

It's like Italians in general really. Nobody gives them any grief over their part in WWII: they're just seen as those wacky Italians as opposed to the sinister and evil Germans and Japanese.

Leon Clarke in fitness shocker.

The player acted like an idiot and looks like he is getting turfed out after 2 weeks because of his attitute.

Di Canio is a legend. Those who castigate him for his so called political beliefs should listen to Marcotti on Newstalk this week who ghost wrote his autobiography. You may learn something about his politcal beliefs and that he is not some raving hate filled lunatic. He comes across as a great person to me.

Oh no, he is a fascist!!... So?
Ryan Giggs ****ed his sister in law but he is a great guy!:rolleyes:

People need to get out more.

Swindon just scored against Rotherham and De Canio ends right up in the huddle on the ground! :pac:

Think he might have done himself an injury!
