Merry supporter gets a cap in his ass

The 2006 factual documentary Borat would have us believe that Kazakhstan and its neighbouring countries are not quite civilised enough to be familiar with firearms, but an England fan has found out that this is not quite the case.

Getting in some serious drinking preparation before Saturday’s World Cup Qualifier, an over zealous supporter and his friends were chanting in a bar in Kyrgyzstan, apparently oblivious to the fact that Kyrgyzstan is an entirely different country to Kazakhstan (just like we were before we looked it up on Wikipedia).

A local in the bar took exception to their obnoxious singing and asked them to stop. When they failed to comply, the angry Kyrgyzstani skipped the part where he asked them politely again, instead choosing to shoot one of them in the leg with a pistol.

The injured man - believed to be from Rochdale - was rushed to a hospital, where the bullet was removed. He is said to be recovering after discharging himself, but it is not known if he has stopped chanting yet.

Inter manager didn’t take defeat at Old Trafford very well

When the final whistle blew at Old Trafford last night, Jose Mourinho conceded that his Inter side were defeated by a “perfect team”, and even gave fierce rival Alex Ferguson a friendly cuddle.

After leaving the dugout, something roused the Portuguese from his calm demeanour, as he is alleged to have clocked a fan in the face while boarding the team coach:

Police have contacted Manchester United to request CCTV footage of the area, and a police spokesperson was quoted by Sky Sports as saying, “Shortly before midnight last night a man reported that he had been punched in the face outside Old Trafford.

“We are investigating an allegation of common assault,” the statement concluded.

If The Special One wishes to avoid brushes with the law in the future, perhaps he should stop taking coach-boarding tips from Jason Roberts.

Funnyman stays classy in his favourite football strip

While promoting his new film Step Brothers on The Daily Show yesterday (expect to see it on More4 in about three-and-a-half weeks time), Will Ferrell hid his paunch behind the colours of his favourite Premier League team. To prove he isn’t a Johnny-come-lately fan, he wore a Chelsea shirt that has probably been sitting in the bottom of his wardrobe for at least four years.[Unprofessional Foul]
