Shocking tackle.

Some footballers prompt gasps from spectators and viewers for their brilliance on the ball, others for committing horrendous challenges or dangerous play.
New Zealand's Ben Sigmund earned himself a red card for tripping and then delivering a two-footed stomp on the legs of UAE goalscorer Ali Mabkhout, and it was not a pretty sight.
The UAE beat New Zealand 2-0 in the OSN Cup final and it's fair to say that Sigmund did not take it at all well.
He was sent off in the 89th minute for his reckless and frustrated act, and some of the All Whites' opponents had to be physically restrained from confronting the culprit.
According to New Zealand coach Ricki Herbert, Sigmund was so appalled by his own actions upon reflection that he even apologised for upsetting his team-mates.

BBC in shocking report that football fans are being ripped off!
Who would have thought it?

Exploitation of fans “an outrage”, says MP after BBC report

British football clubs' treatment of their supporters has been described as "an outrage" by an MP following an investigation into the prices paid by fans of the national game.
The BBC's annual Price of Football report, which analyses costs across 166 clubs in the top 10 divisions in Britain, found that on average, ticket prices had dropped across the four professional divisions in England, but the associated costs of going to a football match are still cause for consternation.
Ticket prices remain some of the highest on the planet - watching Arsenal can cost up to £126 per ticket - while clubs continue to milk their supporters for food and drink, as well as programmes.
The BBC's report contained the following alarming facts:
- The most expensive cup of tea in football can be found at Manchester United, who charge £2.50. Manchester City also charged the same price last year but dropped it to £1.80. Alloa charge only 50p.
- Crystal Palace and Kidderminster charge the most for a matchday pie, with prices reaching £4 at the Premier League and Conference clubs. At Forfar Athletic they cost only £1.40.
- Nearly all clubs charge £3 for a matchday programme, but League Two's Newport County charge £3.50 - the same as Arsenal. Inverness charge just 50p.
In light of the new figures, Liberal Democrat MP Tim Farron says more should be done to make football affordable.
He told the BBC: "The reality is, if you are Manchester United or Liverpool the demand is very inelastic: people will pay nearly anything to go and watch their team.
"They will grumble and they will complain, they will make all sorts of other sacrifices, they will go and watch their team. If you want to be cynical from the point of view of clubs, they will just take advantage of that, and that is an outrage, frankly.
"It's an obscenity how much footballers get paid, but having said that it's a free market. I don't blame footballers for taking it, up to a point. But undoubtedly it is going to a situation where it is unsustainable."
There was some better news though, with average ticket prices across the top four divisions of English football falling by up to 2.4 per cent.
The annual BBC survey reported the price drop which is in stark contrast to last year, when the price of the average cheapest ticket rose by 11 per cent, or almost four times the rate of inflation.
The survey covered five leagues in England, four leagues in Scotland and the Women's Super League and showed the average prices for the cheapest and most expensive match-day and season tickets were all down on last year.
The price drop appears to be linked to falling attendances, with clubs in the Football League facing an average drop of five per cent of fans going through the turnstiles, from 9,949 per match in 2011-12 to 9,481 in 2012-13.
Despite the overall picture, the Premier League saw a 4.3 per cent rise in the average price of the cheapest season tickets.
Arsenal still boast the most expensive matchday ticket across English football, where an adult can pay up to £126 for a category A game, however their cheapest ticket is £26.
Arsenal also have the most expensive adult season ticket at £1,955, while the cheapest in the Premier League can be found at Manchester City for £299.

This thread is perfect for this...

Genoa coach spies on rivals, in military gear.

Quote:
 
Ahead of Sunday's Derby della Lanterna, tensions between Genoa and local rivals Sampdoria turned into a clandestine military operation. At least for one man.

According to Reuters, Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Sampdoria fans spotted rustling in the nearby trees during a training session on Friday and notified the staff. A member of Sampdoria's staff then chased after the rustler and found him hiding behind a tree, recognizing him immediately as Genoa youth team coach Luca De Pra because he is "a popular figure in the city." He was in "full military attire."

Sampdoria then published this hilarious official statement on their website. From Reuters:

"That the derby is a question of nerve, tactics and strategy we already knew, but frankly we could never expect that it could turn into an scene of espionage," Samp said in a statement on their website (www.sampdoria.it).
"Like Rambo hidden among the branches on the hill, Luca De Pra, Genoa goalkeeping coach and man of noble footballing ancestry, failed to overcome Sampdoria's intelligence and counter intelligence operations.
"However, no prisoners were taken, and no blood was shed. Once tracked down and caught red-handed, the opposing side's soldier was let free to return to base.
"You should always forgive your enemies, as nothing annoys them more."
Making the odd situation even better, Genoa denied having any knowledge of De Pra's attempt at espionage (as anyone would of a top secret mission) with a statement of their own.

"No director or member of the coaching staff sent Luca De Prà, goalkeeper coach for the youth team, to watch the training session at Bogliasco. It was a personal initiative," Genoa said in a statement on their website (www.genoacfc.it).
A personal initiative indeed. After all, John Rambo was himself a lone wolf.

It's unclear how long De Pra had been on his mission or if he resorted to any survivalist techniques like boiling stolen footballs for sustenance or drinking his own urine for the hell of it, but this is all proof that a man who has access to a military uniform is going to use it. Even if he is an Italian youth football team coach.

This is how you properly hype a derby.


Think we'll see Lenny try this, with a balaclava on? :ph43r:

Zlatan's latest ramblings - seemingly he has an autobiography coming out...

Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Pep Guardiola was a 'spineless coward' at Barcelona

He must be hard work.
Makes Stokes look like a puppy. Best line: "I'd already got the impression that Barcelona was a little like being back at Ajax, it was like being back at school. None of the lads acted like superstars, which was strange. Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, the whole gang – they were like schoolboys. The best footballers in the world stood there with their heads bowed, and I didn't understand any of it. It was ridiculous.
Everyone did as they were told. I didn't fit in, not at all. I thought, just enjoy the opportunity, don't confirm their prejudices. So I started to adapt and blend in. I became way too nice. It was mental. I said what I thought people wanted me to say. It was completely messed up. I drove the club's Audi and stood there and nodded my head. I hardly even yelled at my team-mates any more. I was boring. Zlatan was no longer Zlatan."
What a crazy bastard, and he refers to himself in the third person, it's brilliant :clap:
