This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.
One of the more niggling annoyances at a game is the guy (or gal) who sits behind us and bemoans every last offside decision given. Yeah, we’d like to think our star striker wasn’t really offside for the 38th time this half but how can you possibly tell when it’s that tight and you’re sitting behind the goal. At the wrong end. Cleverly these fans from, we think, Spain have found a solution to this problem – dozens of supporters all run up and down the touchline after the linesman (yes, we said linesman).

Of all the moments of idiocy we’ve chronicled in #ICYMI over the years, this has to be up there as one of the most costly. With Inter and AC Milan in a championship race that will go down to the wire, Inter keeper Ionuț Radu threw away two vital points against Bologna which could cost them the title. Nightmarish stuff.
Valencia beat Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey final this week with a 2-1 win at Estadio Benito Villamarín. Arturo Vidal had a chance to get Barcelona back in the game in the 55th minute, after the usual sublime skill from Lionel Messi, but the Chilean’s wild slice sent the rebound into row Z.
Echoes of Jason Cundy at Portman Road in the nineties with this week’s And finally – a truly daft goal from Extremadura’s Carlos Pomares against Cadiz in La Liga II – a block tackle on the halfway sending the ball 50 yards over the Cadiz keeper.
Wendy Renard gives us the first entry into the And finally… archive from this summer’s Women’s World Cup in France. The French defender’s meek intervention sends the ball trickling over the line (skip to 51 seconds).
