He didn't actually kick the ballboy, he kicked the ball out from under him. The little twat was holding onto the ball trying to run down the clock. I would've booted the little cunt good and proper!

Now I need to go and chastise myself for defending a Chelsea player...
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

He kicked the "wrong ball"? :mrgreen:

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

This story is a little old, but worth a read on a day when we could use a reminder of sport's virtues.

At a cross country race on December 2, Olympic steeplechase bronze medalist Abel Mutai had a comfortable lead in the closing stretch over Spanish runner Iván Fernández Anaya. But Mutai misjudged the finish line, and stopped about 10 meters too soon. When Anaya saw Mutai's error, he remained behind Mutai and gestured for the Kenyan to resume running and cross the line first.

"I didn't deserve to win it," Anaya said. "I also think that I have earned more of a name having done what I did than if I had won. And that is very important, because today, with the way things are in all circles, in soccer, in society, in politics, where it seems anything goes, a gesture of honesty goes down well."
