The Brizz Rovers fans around these parts don't have much to smile about right now, but most of them were laughing at this foul...

It's like when you accidentally press the slide tackle button on FIFA

 

[Scarface]

Brilliant! However, unlike south america the player fouled wasnt mortally wounded!

Exactly what I thought, think I've got the ball, press the button to cross / shoot, oh wait no they've still got the ball so the player just scythes into the closest opponent

You are having a laugh I assume? The ball was about 5 feet away when he went in!

I believe the previous comment was meant to be sarcasm. Funny sarcasm, too. Made me laugh
