"Unsporting Behaviour"


Recommended Posts

A referee ordered a penalty to be retaken in a Sunday league football game when an opposition player broke wind as the ball was kicked.

 

The Chorlton Villa player got a yellow card for the noise which was classed as "unsporting behaviour".

 

The team, who conceded a goal on the second take, went on to win the match 6-4 against International Manchester FC at Turn Moss in Stretford, Manchester.

 

Villa manager Ian Treadwell said their conduct was "normally exemplary. One of our players 'broke wind' and only the referee heard it and he booked the player," he said. "The other player had the penalty saved because it was a bad penalty; it was nothing to do with any noise. They were as shocked as we were as to why."

And on the same subject...........

 

Could this not breach the unfortunate flatulant player's human rights on medical grounds ?

 

It's a bit like... "Sorry No 9, but you can't have a heart attack whilst the penalty is being taken, or you'll get a yellow card !"
