1860 Munich fans face Bayern Munich shopping trip or jail

"I wanted to show that football is football and not a battlefield."

These are the words of judge Karin Jung, who gave two 1860 Munich fans the choice to buy Bayern merchandise for a fan they attacked - or spend 15 months in jail. The defendants, who refused to name a third person involved when they ripped the jacket, shirt and straw hat off the Bayern fan last year, opted for the pride-swallowing trip to the rival club store.

"I thought about what would be really painful to them, and doing something like this really bothers this type of people," Jung - who got the victim's consent for the quirky sentence - told Bild newspaper.

This was no cheap shopping trip though as according to their lawyer, the accused parted with around £350 each in compensation as well as handing over a Bayern hat, scarf and jersey in court.

Apparently Yann M'vila is a) a Sunderland player and b) mental


"Sunderland Echo posted:

New Sunderland signing Yann M’Vila saw red in his first appearance for the club - after headbutting a Norwich City player in a reserve match.

A lack of match fitness saw M’Vila sit out the season opener at Leicester City, with the French midfielder instead starting for the Under-21s against Norwich City at Eppleton CW this afternoon.

But he saw red in the second half after headbutting Jamar Liza miday through the half after the Norwich striker had been in a tussle with Sunderland defender Tom Beadling.

M’Vila had looked promising in his debut up until that point.

He has joined on a season-long loan deal from Russian club Rubin Kazan, with a view to a permanent switch next summer.

M’Vila lost his way during two years in Russia – making just 24 appearances for Kazan before being sent to Inter Milan on loan, and being dogged by a series of off-the-field problems.

But M’Vila was regarded as one of the top prospects in France after coming through the ranks at Rennes. He was handed his international debut aged just 20 and attracted the attention of Liverpool and Arsenal before moving to Kazan in a £10million deal.

that was loving glorious, would love to see Souness take on the pair of them!

‘I was sent off first and I was waiting in the tunnel to get some revenge. He came in, and we had two massive masseurs and they just dunked us on their shoulders,’ said the 35-year-old former England international, who retired last year.

‘It was like a cartoon when your feet are dangling off the ground and we were trying to get at each other. We are sat in the changing room and they were in the middle of us.

‘I was thinking how I could get to him. Then we heard the final whistle.

‘Boumsong came in and said, “If you want to fight, fight now”. I was wanting to fight and get the revenge.

‘Then Souness came in and said, “If you want to fight I’ll beat both of you”. Al came in and I never saw him lose it like that – he went mad and called us selfish and a disgrace. He knew we’d have a three-match suspension and miss the FA Cup semi-final that was coming up.’

I preferred this passage of absurdity:

Guardian posted:

He was also – and paradoxically perhaps – always a hopeful player, communicating to the end that same sense of doomed youthful zest. So much so that it still seems inconceivable that the season will be allowed to start without the certainty that somewhere, on some distant substitutes' bench, Kieron Dyer is still crouched beneath his knitted beanie hat, removing his headphones, doing some stretches, coming on as an 87th-minute substitute and darting about with that old compelling sense of skittish purpose, perhaps even putting together a run of games, scoring a few goals, staying fit at last, against all odds getting another England call-up, playing finally like the Kieron Dyer of the imagination, filling that problematic forward scamper-munchkin role, leading England to Brazil in triumph, conjuring a series of improbable victories against the head, and ending up captured forever in iconic pose, tears streaming down his face as he lifts the World Cup, borne aloft on the shoulders of Joe Cole, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Jonathan Woodgate as behind him a weeping Kevin Keegan …

Okay this isn't even football but just pretend they are football players, something similar must have happened in a footy game.

Nick Kyrgios caught saying a player 'banged your girlfriend' during Wawrinka match

One of the strangest tennis moments you'll ever see occurred on Wednesday during the match between Nick Kyrgios and Stan Wawrinka at the 2015 Rogers Cup in Montreal. Kyrgios has been known to speak his mind on the court and some might even say he takes things a little too far. If that wasn't the case before Wednesday, it probably is now after this.

While the audio isn't perfect, it's pretty clear Kyrgios starts "Kokkinakis banged your girlfriend" apparently referring to Thanasi Kokkinakis. Judging from video from Sports Net, it sounds like the second part of the comment was "sorry to tell you that, mate."

Okay this is a football one:

Neo-Nazi sports team Ostelbien to be kicked out of local league

The German football league has finally moved to get rid of one of its most infamous members. FC Ostelbien Dornburg, founded in the far-right scene, has become renowned for assaulting opposing players and referees. It has long been public knowledge that FC Ostelbien Dornburg was a predominantly neo-Nazi outfit, but the Saxony-Anhalt Football Federation (FSA) has now bowed to media pressure and applied to have the team thrown out of its league - the eastern German state's local Kreisliga, or the tenth tier of Germany's football league system.

The club represents a district of barely 270 inhabitants in a small town called Gommern, outside Magdeburg, but the violence of its 18 squad members - 15 of whom are recognized by the state intelligence agency as neo-Nazis - has made national headlines for several months.

Club captain Dennis Wesemann has faced charges of assault, disturbing the peace, and showing symbols of banned organizations, while four local clubs have refused to play against Ostelbien, and 59 of 65 local referees are refusing to officiate their games. The FSA's action seems to be the culmination of increased media coverage, especially by the "Taz" newspaper, who reported an incident where a Kosovo Albanian player was spat on and attacked by Ostelbien's Wesemann during a game.
