I have to write about this because my
friend Charles said I should.
If you didn't read about it or see it,
there was an act of remarkable sportsmanship from Doncaster Rovers
manager Paul Dichov this week when he insisted on letting his
opposition Bury, score an unchallenged goal after there had been a
mix up following a re-start. Some players just don't get it do they?
This isn't the first time such an
incident has occurred and thankfully sportsmanship does exist in
football, though it is sometimes hard to believe.
In a Capital One Cup 2nd
round tie in August 2013 Birmingham City played Yeovil and were 2-1
up as time drifted to a conclusion. Blues keeper Colin Doyle kicked
the ball out of play after an injury to one of his players....wasting
time Jose???.....Yeovil had possession of the ball from the throw in
and Byron Webster managed to “chip” the ball over the oppo
keeper's head into the net... 2-2. In extra time Yeovil went ahead
and under manager's instructions allowed Birmingham's Lee Novak to walk the ball into the net
3-3. Penalties then decided the game as the Blues ran out winners.
If you want a few more howlers then
have a look at this lot below, though one or two links might not work
(the Paolo di Canio)or are not in the same vein.
