What fighting words, how do you know what the Italian told Zidan, did you really believe this crap story but the Times and Drudge. Even if he told him that, he just cannot go an assault the guy. Where did you come up with "this fighting words" crap, is it written law that we are not aware off. This is the third guy that Zidan had Butt headed in his career, that is a lot of butt heading.

It seems to me that most European players use this form
of attack. Maybe they think a slight head butt will be missed, maybe it's an insult. The ref never saw this one as he was going up the field with the play. I doubt if the linesman(assistant) saw it either.
