Day Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 A referee ordered a penalty to be retaken in a Sunday league football game when an opposition player broke wind as the ball was kicked. The Chorlton Villa player got a yellow card for the noise which was classed as "unsporting behaviour". The team, who conceded a goal on the second take, went on to win the match 6-4 against International Manchester FC at Turn Moss in Stretford, Manchester. Villa manager Ian Treadwell said their conduct was "normally exemplary". "One of our players 'broke wind' and only the referee heard it and he booked the player," he said. "The other player had the penalty saved because it was a bad penalty; it was nothing to do with any noise. They were as shocked as we were as to why." Mr Treadwell said he was waiting for the Football Association to contact them after it had received a report. The Manchester Publicity league club faces total fines of £97 for three dismissals and two yellow card bookings from the game. 'Just hilarious' Mr Treadwell said: "We are not a dirty team and we like to play football. "While I won't condone the actions of the players, it is an emotive game and some of the players were sent off for entering into conversation with the referee. "This has come at a bad time in the season as we don't have sponsor and we are looking for a new sponsor for next season." Pauline Riley, secretary and treasurer of International Manchester FC, said both teams were "very friendly". "There's no animosity. It was just hilarious," she said.

Boycie Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 That fine stinks. I think that this hole situation has been blown out of all proportions. I think it's guff justice on the player. The old farts at the FA ought to wake up and smell the coffee. I bet it'd knocked the wind out of the player, and he should crack on and try to put it all behind him.

Boycie Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yes, I didn't want anybody to steal my thunder. I didn't want to fluff my lines so I had the check that I hadn't followed though with a mistake. Anyway, didn't want to be trumped by another member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perky1106 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Frankly I think nobody has a chance of beating Boycinho to the pun challenge. Well done. If a trump results in a penalty, it would probably send Cristiano Ronaldo into a coma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 The penalty wasn't given for farting it was ordered to be retaken because of the player farting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 It can't be any worse than the lad with the drum at PP banging it when the oppo takes a corner. Maybe we could get the far north end of the stand to blow a raspberry just as they take another corner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
