Celtic had a fantastic night in Europe last night, fending off the European champions, by beating them 2-1. The game however was marred by a silly incident created by a Celtic fan.

After Celtic scored their winner, a silly little Scottish bloke, about 5 foot nothing, runs on to the pitch, starts dancing in front of AC Milan’s goalkeeper Dida and then proceeds to “tickle” him in the neck/chest area.

With that, super fit, 6ft 4 Dida, chases after him. Dida could instantly see that this little leprechaun’s pace was too much even for him to catch him, so proceeds to give up his chase and throw himself to the ground. Within seconds the medical staff were on hand to give him some tender loving care. After about 3 minutes of attention, Dida is stretchered off the pitch, holding an ice pack to his face……………

Now, I’ve been a man all my life and I know that when you get a kick in the “sensitive area”, the pain can travel to your stomach and can sometimes be a lot worse than the tap you’ve had. However, never in my life have I had a tickle on the chest/neck and have the pain travel to my face. Nevermind top of that, I’ve never needed to use an ice pack after I’d been tickled!

Dida - when you read my blog today ;) - let me tell you how sickened I am by you. A tall tower of strength, feigning injury in such a manner, is a mockery to the beautiful game that is football. You had a very poor game, probably the blame for both goals, but there’s no need to lower the game to these disgraceful levels….

DIDA - YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!!!
