There are times the conduct of a sportsman epitomes all that is made the sport so great and memorable. I love soccer, I love hockey and lately over the past 12 years I love rugby, watching the Celtic game where a fan ran in and tapped the keeper (Dida) on the shoulder and the keeper drops faking an injury was entirely CRAP. Sadly the crux of the matter is that there are so few true sportsmen left in the world of football that we are naive to expect anything less.The unscrupulous players of the game think nothing of trying to cheat their way to a win at anyone’s cost except their own; a true sportsman (in every sense of the word) wouldn’t even contemplate it.
Its stupid disrespectful and should be thrown out of the game.
Here is the clip
Here is a great quote
It was a dramatic and crazy ending to the Celtic-AC Milan Champions League tilt on Wednesday night in Scotland. After Scot McDonald gave the home side the lead in the 90th minute, a Celtic fan ran onto the pitch and celebrated by giving Milan keeper Dida a little love tap as you can see in the blurry video above. You can also see that it took a few seconds for Dida to remember to flop to the ground and simulate death. He was eventually taken away on a stretcher. My money says he will live. All this time we thought it would be one of his own fans that would attack him out of frustration, but alas Dida was done in by a Celtic fan who might have cost his team big time even if his slap wouldn’t have felled a three-year-old.
