Tackling A Streaker Will Get You A Yellow Card

Monday, July 21, 2008

This is just about the most random video I've ever seen. This highlight is from a Soccer match in Moscow between Spartak and Lokomotiv this past Saturday and features a male streaker who isn't exactly streaking (he still has khakis on which is good). A player decides to slow him down with a slide tackle and he's escorted off the field.

Pretty straightforward right? Well that is until the ref decides to give him a yellow card for some inexplicable reason. Via Fan IQ....



Well how about that? You learn something new in Sports every single day. I was thinking that the card was a joke at first, but apparently not. An illegal takedown is an illegal takedown.

Streakers Now Invading Snooker Matches

Tuesday, May 06, 2008


Snooker is apparently huge overseas so huge in fact that the Sport now has streakers interrupting their World Championships. Fanhouse has the video and The Sun has the recap....

Mark Roberts entered the auditorium at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield, at the start of the final session and spread-eagled himself under the match table.

Fortunately, the famous Brit streaker, who has run naked during several international events, failed to put the players off their game. And Ronnie O’Sullivan managed to bag the 888.com World Championship crown for the third time beating Ali Carter 18-8.

Roberts, a dad of three, has streaked at events including a Miss World Contest, tennis matches, the bull run in Pamplona and the synchronized swimming world championship in Barcelona.

He has also been banned from every football stadium in England.


In my mind Snooker ranks directly behind Darts and Curling as events you'd want to streak, but in England this is a major news story. I never got the whole streaking thing (especially dudes doing it), but apparently this guy is a national hero.
