Awesomeness personified

Billy Sharp both played and scored for Donny, despite his two-day old son dying on Saturday. After scoring Sharp lifted his shirt over his head to reveal a t-shirt that said 'That's for you son' on it.

...and didn't get booked.

Common sense and compassion prevails but what about humour and a sense of fun which has completely disappeared from the game.

Mario Balotelli is in Liverpool watching WWE wrestling as we speak. He's wearing a Man City shirt with his own name on the back. Oh Mario :wub:

What annoys me about that is that he's clearly not shown anything that'd inflame the supporters and he's clearly not exposed his body. So what's the problem?

There's literally no justification for that being a bookable offence. It highlights the fact that it is a law put through the game ENTIRELY for the sakes of sponsorship and money which, frankly, is a little disgusting.

How is the law relevant to sponsorship etc? I have probably missed some explaination sometime!

From what I've heard is that its because when a goal is scored, then the TV cameras etc all focus on the goal scorer, obviously thats great exposure for the shirt sponser. Take then shirt off and the shirt sponser is losing out.

Whether that is true or not I have no idea but it wouldn't suprise me!

The Manchester City striker went for a midnight curry with friends at popular Indian restaurant Zouk less than 48 hours before the critical Premier League match against Chelsea.

Staying out past one o'clock on Sunday morning meant Balotelli had broken manager

Roberto Mancini's player curfew, and will land the 21-year-old a fine of a week's wages. That is a cool £150,000.

Of course, you might be wondering how he got caught; after all, a quiet, late-night curry after a booze-free evening is unlikely to have caused much commotion on a Saturday night in Manchester city centre.

Not for Balotelli, however: according to the Daily Star's account, the player and his friends decided to entertain their fellow diners by staging an impromptu mock sword fight, using rolling pins as pretend swords.

As ever with the entertaining Italian, you simply couldn't make it up.

Oh Mario. :wub:
