Only 47 more to go before we get 2000 hits. Note I was including my massive audience in this. Come on....I was listening to the great Tim Vickery on the World Football Phone on Radio 5 Live, expounding the virtues and failings of South American football. He is very good. Peruvian football has had its ups and downs and this latest event, reported by TV does not help the cause. A referee in northern Peru halted a cup tie eight minutes
early after five players all went down injured at the same time in an apparent bid
to have a match they were losing abandoned.
Five players from Defensor Bolivar feigned injury in Sunday’s first leg
of their Copa Peru semi-final against Defensor La Bocana. Bolivar were losing 4-1 and lost another goal as their players
writhed on the ground.
Having already had two men sent off, the referee had no
option but to halt the game early. At least seven players are required on each
side. Did you know that and what is the law for our Juniors?? The second leg on Thursday (tomorrow) is now in doubt as authorities decide whether
to punish Bolivar. The winners of the regional qualifier will go into the
national competition. It's an important game and make sure you find out what's what by checking the internet. There is no defense for this type of behaviour.
