Ribery and Benzema's court case has been dropped. Paying a 16 year old for sex is alright so long as you don't know she's 16.

If you are, maybe you can answer a question for me. I was in Amsterdam in November and there were lots of people in blackface on the streets. They were dressed like characters from a Shakespeare play or something, so I think it was an advertisement for something going on, but is that acceptable over there? We were more than a little taken aback by it.

Did they look like this...?



Guess that's more horse face than black face.

Not so much about footballers committing crimes as criminals becoming footballers and running a prison league but the Guardian has a long but good read:

The prison where murderers play for Manchester United
Luzira was once the most notorious prison in Uganda. Now it’s home to what is surely the world’s most elaborate prison football league – and a model for the transformative power of the beautiful game
http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/may/28/the-prison-where-murderers-play-for-manchester-united?utm_source=digg&utm_medium=email

Sad it seems to be cleaner and better organized than FIFA, although hopefully Sepp and his ExCom cronies will get to try their hand at a prison league soon.

Also I'm sure there's loads of great jokes about United and criminals but I'm drawing a blank right now.

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.

quote:

Ribery visited the Nusr-et restaurant in Dubai during some downtime with the Bundesliga on hold. The restaurant is owned by Nusret Gokce, known as "Salt Bae" for his extravagant persona and the way he seasons his meat. The steak, covered in gold, can cost in excess of £1,000.

Ribery, 35, was criticised after the picture emerged but hit back on Instagram, saying: "For 2019, let's dot the i's and cross the t's... Let's start with the jealous, the haters, those only born because a condom had a hole in: f--- your mothers, your grandmothers and even your family tree. I owe you nothing.

"My success is, above all, thanks to God, me, and my loved ones who believed in me. For the others, you're nothing but pebbles in my socks!"

"They play with your dignity," Ronaldo told 'Good Morning Britain' in an interview with Piers Morgan that will air on Tuesday in Great Britain. "It's hard. You have a girlfriend, you have a family, you have kids. When they play with your honesty, it's bad, it's hard.

"I remember one day I was at home in the living room with my girlfriend watching the television to see the news and they speak about 'Cristiano Ronaldo this and that.'

"I listened to my kids coming down the stairs and I changed the channel because I was embarrassed.
