The only truly amazing thing about this is that it's taken so long for a serious injury to occur from projectile throwing

Colombian goalkeeper had the sh*ts last week and had to go off to use the toilet. No subs left so the ref paused the game while he went off.

12 players sent of in an Argie game last week. Mass brawls, crowd getting stuck in etc

Tel Aviv derby abandoned after a fan attacks a player, who was subsequently sent off for kicking him.

I thought the player was quite restrained in the circumstances although apparently he sparked the whole thing off by making gestures to the home fans in the first place.

Can't quite work it out, but in the middle of that video does someone get knocked out cold?
