Turkish Side Karsiyaka Sacrifice Camel, Smear Blood On Their Faces (Video)

By Chris Wright

It wasn't so very long ago that we saw Sivasspor get a tarpaulin down at the side of the pitch and slaughter a sheep as a sacrifice to the Gods of goal difference, and now comes this Karsiyaka's attempt to upstage their fellow countryman.

By slitting a camel open and smearing it's blood on their player's faces (some of whom look decidedly undecided about the whole thing), some divine deity is duty-bound to afford the club the edge in the race for promotion from the Turkish second division which seems a little unlikely to us, but hey ho.
