PISSED OFF

Yes it has happened, Salford City Goalkeeper, Max Crocombe, a New Zealand Youth international and now Salford City's goalkeeper was dismissed from the Horsfall Stadium today for having a piss. Despite being asked by a steward not to, Max managed to pull out his Rodger with gloves on and relieve himself. He had no choice, he said.

Spotting an opportunity to get one over the opponents a spectator complained and the ref had to take action. The last laugh was with Salford who despite being reduced to ten men in the 86 minute, won athe game 2-1 and posted an apology on Twitter, inevitably.

In 2009, Jens Lahmann playing for Stuttgart in a European Champions League tie was caught short and nipped behind an advertising hoarding. His manager said "I thought he handled it well" but then you would do with huge gloves on!

Needless to say, I did the research and came up with a number of similar incidents. I am not going to reduce this blog to farce.

Let's celebrate the Under 17s miraculous win in the FIFA World Cup U17s and bask in the glory of being 0-2 down and winning 5-2. The cohort is a bit special and the victory over Spain stunning. Thank heavens for St George's and all.
