wow a person killing people does not get death penalty­ but this does?
imao this world is stupid!!

What's the old saying, "It's only a­ game".

Who would ever be surprised that they would show such­ ruthlessness - one of the worst countries for human or­ animal rights in the world. They will deplete until­ there's nothing left. Just ask those who had to­ move for the Olympics.

you cant take a persons life for a bloody football­ match , give him a life sentance yeh but death , ill go­ og a chinky takeawy striks , this is not right

I was interested by the comment of 155 rick about the­ suggested rape and murder of his child.God forbid it­ ever happens but if it did, I and lots of others in­ this country would gladly volunteer to execute the­ perpetrator. The soft laws in this Country are exactly­ why our kids can't safely walk the streets and why­ on certain estates people are afraid to go out.

I can't believe the outrage at this story,
You mean­ you didn't know the Chinese killed people?
What you­ should do is go to China, knock on the door and­ say....
Excuse me Mr China do you mind not killing­ people!!
The seem like good sports, i'm sure­ they'll accomodate anyone doing that.

This is pathethic. Just have a re-match and ban him­ form refreeing ever again...its not hard.... lol

Do you want to kill a human becouse of a­ game??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God damed­ you, not a game , even for money. it is not allowed­ to excute a human becouse of a result of a game. let­ him restore yuor lost money but dont take the life from­ him. we are Muslims, we think that the God be angry­ for killing a human he created him. i hope doesnt­ happen this bad decision.

its a game of 2 halves alright

neil m: Bill Shankly made that comment not Glenn­ Hoddle, he also said "there are 2 great teams in­ Liverpool, Liverpool 1st team & Liverpool­ reserves" I think even Fergie would admitt he was­ the greatest manager of all time as he has mentioned­ before he was in awe of shanks and regularly listened­ to interviews when he would deliver such quotes.­ We'll be back YNWA

Re 152/153...you dribbling monkey! Who wants to adapt­ to a culture that poisons babies, locks up kids and­ seems to think it has the right to stink up the planet­ to a degree that would make a Yank puke?! Jeez,­ where's your next travel report from? North Korea?­ BTW, can I suggest adult literacy classes? Then, maybe,­ next time your bilge will be slightly less pizzled.

Don't commit a Capitol/Capital crime in a Country­ with the Death sentence. Same as knobs that Traffik­ drugs into them and suddenly think about what they have­ done after the event. If he is guilty I hope he drops­ the bubble on the others invovled, if not Tango Sierra.­ Death sentence seems a little harsh though, but then­ how high are the joy riding statistics in China. Bring­ back hanging here, we could do with improving our Donor­ system...

The Chinese evil government are using the death­ sentence strategy to reduce their over populated­ country and also to make more money trading in human­ organ.FIFA should ban them from any form of competition­ if that ref is handed a death penalty. Chinese people­ pretend to be holy and focused yet they spread like­ virus to other countries and committing the most wicked­ of crimes under ground. Imagine Chinese parents­ sleeping with their kids ! China is just too fake to be­ taking serious.

What bullsh*t ! if China thinks their population is too­ much for them to handle,they should allow other­ countries to be formed out of it's stupendous over­ populated country. As for them buying the whole of­ African Continent,sorry Africa is just using China to­ develop then chase them away because they are not such­ a good nation,country,culture and people to reckon­ with.

Thanks God they will deal with this sickness of­ reapoffs. It affected us as Botswana when we played­ them in September 2009. Fix it China, you can do it.­ One thing about this country is, socialism that has­ done some wonders for this nation, I am a democrat­ though. Developments you lead, but reduce on your­ sensorship, I was in BEijing for the first time when­ Whacko Jacko passed on, and in some places I could only­ buy a sim card if I showed my passport and particulars.­ We don't do that in Botswana. Otherwise you are a­ very beautiful country.

First i should say I wholeheartedly disagree witht he­ death penalty (even if someone raped and murdered my­ child as someone mentioned) However the people claiming­ it is simply a game are missing the point. This is not­ for a bad decision it is force large scale corruption.­ The penalty will depend on the amount of money involve.­ 2nd ask yourself why does a ref. take bribes, it is not­ because a given team wants to win at all costs it is to­ make money in illegal gambling rings - all gambling is­ illegal in China - so it is not just corruption but­ also a public and formerly respected public figure­ breaking a very serious law. People criticizing china­ and its government have no idea what a job they having­ running this huge and still very messy country. It is­ an archaic measure but one that in this case will act­ as a deterent ( i believe murders will generally murder­ anyway regardless of death penalty, but corruption the­ rewards is simply not enough surely), it also makes­ steps towards chowing the public (the main point) that­ some of thier best interests are being looked out­ otherwise riots will occur (not that they all want­ Death Pen of course). People criticizing China as a­ whole are seriously naive and deserve the angry words­ from the Chinese commenters. however the chinese making­ equally generalistic conclusions are just as bad.....­ you types always pick on the few stupid comments and­ ignore the more balanced ones and it is your loss. I­ live in china and i love it here - i find the people­ infiantely more pleasant than the average brit (iam­ btw) but the country hasa huge amount of problems and­ difficulties to overcome. I dont agree with how they­ are doing it but at the same time (in a less serious­ way) i dont agree with alot of what UK and USA does­ either (Iraq, falklands....) maybe people in glass­ houses shouldn't throw stones. the only­ reaosn you should be put off going to china is if you­ are planning on smuggling drugs or the like otherwise­ no problem

I am from the UK but have lived in China for 4 years­ and its a great place. It is not communist but hyper­ capitalist and because of the government it is one of­ the safest couuntries in the world.

MARK !

you're a fan of Socialism then!!! what an­ idiot....

wake up and smell the coffee... China is run­ by the evilest of people,
anyone who thinks China is­ ''great'' even though they have one­ child policys and no human rights whatsoever is a­ complete idiot who watches too much X-factor and thinks­ Socialism and Facism is brilliant!
