There’s now one less flying rat in the world

As a defender for Argentine Primera División side San Lorenzo, Gastón Aguirre’s goalscoring opportunities from open play are probably few and far between. He managed to fire off a shot in a recent game, but an unlucky winged creature was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Aguirre now joins Lucas Neill on The Spoiler’s list of bird slayers.

Australian demonstrates lack of tolerance…

Go anywhere on the planet, and you’ll see that animals are treated differently. In areas of the North Pole some of them are given jobs, and even in this country we build them little houses - or “hutches”, if you will. In Australia, however, it seems people are less tolerant of anything furry or feathered. Lucas Neill proved as much against Uzbekistan last night, when an innocent young owl/dove/crow wandered mindlessly onto a football pitch, only to find the burly West Ham man in no mood for inter-species relations.

He kicked the ball right at it.
