Celebrating a disallowed goal is always a bit embarrassing, but Napoli star Marek Hamsik can rarely
have been left more red-faced than after this bizarre sequence of events during last night's match
with Juventus. Hamsik stepped up to take a spot-kick for his side after Andrea Pirlo had tripped
Ezequiel Lavezzi in the box.
Tasty We saw this live during Soccer Saturday and now the gang at Pies have tracked down the videos
for us to share with you. This Portsmouth fan found himself in the limelight during Paul Walsh's
reports from Fratton Park... and he couldn't resist capitalising on his 15 minutes of fame. In the
video above [.
Too little, too late szólj hozzá: Ne2-1Ev You know when a cricketer gets out and they walk back
to the pavilion practicing the stroke they should have played? We think that must be what Newcastle
goalkeeper Tim Krul was up to here. Jack Rodwell's header has already gone past him and hit the
back of [.
Crazy red card from Ukraine This bizarre sending off comes from the Ukrainian league, where
Dnipro's Samuel Inkoom is being substituted in the match against Karpaty. Inkoom, already booked,
took his shirt off as he made his way to the touchline to be replaced by Evgeniy Shakhov. Before
the substitution could be completed, the referee [.

Iran: where Vinnie Jones would be public enemy number one Two Iranian players have been suspended
after touching up their team-mates during goal celebrations. Persepolis defender Mohammed Nosrati
can be seen feeling the bottom of teammate Sheis Rezaei in the video above. Rezaei later squeezed
the backside of another teammate in the match against Damash [.
This isn't pleasant viewing. Defender Carlos Soto, of Argentina's All Boys, finds the head of
Newell's Old Boys player Carlos Diaz is blocking his route. Surely you don't expect him to go round
the head, do you? Giving a new meaning to faceplant, Soto plants his foot right in the middle of
Diaz's face.
Alderwhat? Sir Alex Ferguson's attempts to show some respect to lower league opposition Aldershot
when he accidentally called them Aldershit instead. The Manchester United gaffer talked down his
opponents during his pre-match interview. At least the Red Devils backed up their boss' trash talk
with a convincing win.
A bird in the Stamford Bridge area displayed outstanding comedy timing by pooing on this Sky Sports
News presenter just as he cuts to a video tape of Andre Villas Boas. Half-a-second later and this
gem would never have been broadcast live on TV. Spotted on 101GG
Blue Peter badge-winners get in for £35m If you thought Delia Smith was the Premier League's only
cook, think again. Liverpool duo Andy Carroll and Charlie Adam have taken part in a charity
bake-off for Children In Need on Blue Peter. The Reds pair were both tasked with baking a Victoria
sponge, with goalkeeper Pepe [.
A backs-to-the-ball job Vointa Sibiu keeper Remus Danalache showed his displeasure at the award of
a penalty against his side by turning his back on the resulting spot-kick. Danalache was a bit
suspicious at what was a dubious penalty in any case, given that the defender appeared to win the
ball, also resulted in a [.
The Hawthorns becomes a (very) public toilet Two Wolverhampton Wanderers fans could be in trouble
after filming themselves urinating in the centre circle of West Brom's pitch. The daring duo took
to The Hawthorns' turf following Wolves' 2-0 defeat in the Black Country derby on Sunday. Getting
in a very early defence, the cameraman can [.
Delayed reaction FC Twente player Peter Wisgerhof announced himself as one of football's worst
divers with this awful attempt in the Dutch equivalent of the Community Shield against Ajax.
Wisgerhof joins the likes of Theo Walcott as players who tried their luck at simulation, only to
find that they are not cut out for a [.
#teryakiformotm English football's most traditional competition is leaping into the 21st century by
introducing an interactive poll to pick the man of the match. Facebook and smart-phone users will
be able to select the man of the match award at every FA Cup match this season and OTP spots
trouble ahead.
[A Quarter of a Century in] Football. Bloody Hell. Priding ourselves on our exclusives, OTP can
bring you the following breaking news: Sir Alex Ferguson has been in situ at the helm of the Red
Devils for 25 years. I know, you'd have thought more would have been made of it. To those who
worship [...]
1. Never mind Super Sunday, that was surreal Sunday. The football equivalent of a full moon.
Absolutely bonkers. 2. On Saturday night OTP could not have imagined a scenario by which firebug
Mario Balotelli could score two goals against Manchester United the following day and barely be a
sub-plot. 3. Given events at Loftus Road, [.

life is a Mario-style app for your phone in which you take on the role of Newcastle United
right-back Danny Simpson, then we have good news for you. Salvation is coming! The ex-Manchester
United has begun [.

Who's the Premier League's mystery Twirl buyer? Ep.13 Fergie Stands Tall by Off The Post on
Mixcloud As Sir Alex Ferguson celebrates his 25th year in charge of Manchester United, the Off The
Post Podcast has been receiving similar plaudits for successfully recording the 13th pod of the
season. We may not have a stand [.
Ep.12 5-3 RVP MVP by Off The Post on Mixcloud The Premier League keeps giving you goals, which
means the Off The Post podcast is back to give you some entirely pointless observations and obscure
statistics to go with them. While Arsenal have been shredding the Chelsea defence apart like an,
erm, office shredder, the [.
Ep.11 Why Always Me? by Off The Post on Mixcloud Bobby Charlton, Eamonn Holmes, Mick Hucknall,
Howard Webb: your boys took a hell of a beating! Also getting royally spanked are journalistic
standards as the OTP ride into the derby battle with a torrent of inane observation: yes, that was
a shocking scoreline, but how [.

much as we all immensely enjoyed the international break, the Premier League is back. And with it
comes the Off The Post podcast, hungry for goals, starving for stats, and ready to tuck into the
highs and [.
Who needs feet? Frank Lampard probably envisaged that he would be scoring a diving header when this
cross came in during Chelsea's match at Blackburn on Saturday. But the ball was so low when it
reached him that he was practically flat on the pitch by the time he headed the ball to score the

Just missing his fluorescent jacket Jake Livermore is becoming an increasingly regular fixture in
the Tottenham midfield. And that means that sooner or later he will have to give up his first love:
match stewarding. But he indulged in a bit of on-pitch security action as he helped to detain a
pitch invader during last [.
"Marco Boogers never asked for that!" Harry Redknapp has always said that the Europa League was
something of an irritation so perhaps it was no surprise that the Spurs boos should take the
opportunity to sort his ‘ticker' out and avoid the long trip to face Rubin Kazan. In his place,
Kevin Bond and Joe [.
Dorman barred from League One Crystal Palace midfielder Andy Dorman has revealed he unintentionally
move down two divisions because he thought Bristol Rovers were in League One when he made his loan
move. Dorman agreed to leave his Championship side to get first-team football in the tier below,
but has since discovered that Rovers are [.
Written with his Sharpie, naturally After David Beckham's declaration that he still has so much to
achieve, OTP hired an ex-NOTW hack to do some "investigative journalism" (and let me tell you,
American eavesdropping laws are a lot tougher than British ones) and find out just what he could
possibly have in mind.
Pro-tips Brazilian legend Ronaldo Originaldo as we like to term him had some interesting pre-match
routines toward the end of his career. Like many of his compatriots, he perhaps partied a bit too
hard a bit too close to matches. But he has now spoken out in defence of himself and any other

Together they are: Tony Bennett Norwich's match against Swansea on Saturday had already been
pencilled in as a relegation six-pointer, so imagine the Canaries' delight when they took the lead
within the first minute. Elliott Bennett was overcome with emotion and the sight of a prone Anthony
Pilkington was too good to refuse.
Everything/Everyone must go Less than a month left until the transfer window closes and Mike Ashley
is facing up to the prospect of not being able to sell Newcastle's best players again until
January. So he is now using the club's website homepage to shift a few more first-team members
before the end of August, [.
