When goal celebrations go wrong...

BERN, Dec 6 (Reuters) - A player in Switzerland's top division has been left without a finger after a goal celebration went horribly wrong.

Servette midfielder Paulo Diogo was forced to have his left ring finger amputated on Sunday after catching it on a perimeter fence during his side's 4-1 win at Schafthausen.

The 29-year-old Swiss-Portuguese player jumped up on the fence in celebration after setting up his team's third goal.

Diogo, who got married recently failed to notice, however, that his wedding ring was caught in the metal barrier and severed the top two joints of the finger as he jumped back down.

He was then shown a yellow card for his excessive celebration.

Doctors at a Zurich hospital were unable to re-attach the finger joints and advised the amputation of the remaining stump.

A quick squeeze of the magic sponge and a dab of Vaseline and Stuart Pearce played on...

Tsk tsk, even children are told to remove jewellery before playing football, and UEFA have told all refs this season that no jewellery is allowed, not even taped up. That applies to park games as much as professional ones.

I heard of one Premiership player who was so superstitious about it, he now wears just tape on his wedding ring finger. He's not allowed to wear the ring any more, but he tapes the finger up anyway for luck

You can stick your f*****g finger up your arse...oh, you can't...

At least he can’t be accused of ‘pointing the finger’… sorry bad joke.

I’m ‘armless really.
