‘Orange man’ Phil Brown tries to work out if he’s a victim of racism live on national radio Posted: 22 Oct 2012 05:19 AM PDT Former Hull City and Preston manager Phil Brown already has a considerable reputation for being a bit of a prat.

Video: Chickens on the pitch before Quilmes vs River Plate Posted: 22 Oct 2012 02:07 AM PDT Our friends at Dirty Tackle inform us that Argentinian side River Plate have been disparagingly referred to as ‘chickens’ since letting a two-goal lead slip in the second leg of the 1966 Copa Libertadores final against Penarol. Opponents Quilmes spotted a great opportunity for a visual gag and released some chickens on the pitch ahead [...]

Video: Leeds fans’ Jimmy Savile chant during Sheffield Wednesday match Posted: 22 Oct 2012 01:19 AM PDT The idiot who ran onto the pitch and punched Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Chris Kirkland might have inadvertently done Leeds a favour.
