DTotD: Beijing Guoan player sent off for stomping on opponent’s chest
Stomping on someone’s chest is traditionally frowned upon in most human endeavors, yet Beijing Guoan’s Erton Fejzullahu still seemed rather surprised after getting sent off for doing just that in a match against Brisbane Roar.
After Brisbane’s Adam Sarota fell to the ground while trying to keep Fejzullahu from getting to the ball, the Beijing player attempted to take a shortcut over Sarota’s vital organs in reaching his desired destination. But the referee didn’t appreciate this route and pulled out a red card.
This has been the Dirty Tackle of the Day: a chronicling of unfortunate events.
Dimitar Berbatov is…The Continental
Well hello there.
I see you’ve caught me scoring against Arsenal at the Emirates. Yet again. This was an especially satisfying conquest since few people gave Monaco a chance. But like when I pop out of your oversized birthday cake completely nude, we gave them quite the surprise. Ha-HA!

In 1993, Liverpool added a pair of eternal flames to their crest as a tribute to the 96 people who died in the Hillsborough disaster. And in 2015, Dunkin’ Donuts, a corporate partner of the club, decided to replace those flames with pictures of iced coffee in a parody of the crest. This, needless to say, was not well received.

Messi and Pique’s casino night propels Barcelona past Man City at the Etihad
The night before Barcelona traveled to Manchester for the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie against Man City, Lionel Messi and Gerard Pique made a “late-night” trip to a casino with former teammate Cesc Fabregas. This prompted the same reaction it always does when footballers do something that normal humans do: MEDIA OUTRAGE!!!
FIFA task force takes six months to decide Qatar is too hot for summer World Cup
After six months of intense consultation, the razor sharp minds of FIFA’s task force for the 2018-2024 international match calendar have finally realized what everyone else already knew: that Qatar is quite hot from May through September.

Non-league Goalkeeper jumps into the stands to fight fans
Kongstonian lost 2-1 to visiting Bognor Regis Town in the Ryman Premier League (the seventh tier of English football) and after the match, the home side’s goalkeeper, Rob Tolfrey, decided to jump into the stands to take out his frustrations on the Bognor supporters.
He scuffled with a few of the fans until a group of players and staff ran over to break them apart. Later, as the two teams headed towards the dressing rooms, the players squared up to each other while some of Tolfrey’s teammates kept him restrained at the other end of the pitch.
The police were called in, but according to the Daily Mail, it’s still unclear what prompted Tolfrey to go into the stands in the first place. Other than the fact that he is a goalkeeper.
Spurs provide sad cup final party planning tools for their most incompetent fans
Spurs are very excited about being in a cup final, but since a few years have passed since they last reached this point in 2009, they felt the need to help supporters through the most basic elements of party planning for the occasion. You know, just in case a sizable portion of their fanbase thinks that nachos are made with rat poison and have never experienced a social gathering before.
Panathinaikos-Olympiacos match “like the bombardment of Iraq”
The Derby of Eternal Enemies lived up to its name in sickening fashion on Sunday when first-place Olympiacos visited second-place Panathinaikos. And it did so rather quickly.
With a giant banner that read “WAR ZONE” at one end of the stadium, Panathinaikos supporters threw missiles and invaded the pitch before the match even began.
