Arda Turan's Rage

Throwing tantrums aren't we???

Barcelona's visit to Atletico Madrid for the copa del rey battle inside the Vicente Calderon  turned out dramatic as Atletico Madrid midfielder Arda Turan hurled his boot at a linesman in the second half during the clash. After having his boot removed in a tackle, Atletico midfielder Arda Turan decided to pick it up and throw it at one of the game's two linesmen,the Turkish international however missed his target and referee Jesus Gil showed him a yellow card. Apparently Turan's rage was sparked by a challenge by Dani Alves which left him wearing only one boot and also the sending off of his midfield partner Gabi, who failed to reemerge for the second period after insulting referee Gil in the tunnel at half-time. Turan  was fortunate to avoid a second yellow shortly after his moment of madness when the ball struck his arm and Gil gave Barca a free-kick. Atletico boss Diego Simeone then quickly withdrew him from the action, perhaps sensing that his side would be down to nine men if Turan was allowed to remain on the pitch....

Say no to Drinking and Drivving

Rugby star Tevita Li

Freedom
Super Blues rugby star Tevita Li has dodged a conviction for drink driving.
The New Zealand under-20 and Blues wing Tevita Li, had pleaded guilty to driving with a blood-alcohol reading of 45mg ,The legal limit for under 20s is zero.The case has been adjourned several times for the rugby starlet to prove he should be discharged without conviction.Judge Gus Andree Wiltens granted that application and Li's only penalty was to pay $210 to cover the medical costs of taking and testing his blood-alcohol level.The judge was convinced a conviction may restrict Li's international travel playing rugby and if he later pursued a career overseas, teams may overlook him because of the black mark against his name and this would provide "a real impediment to what so far has been a stellar career".
