From The Guardian:

Referee books Chorlton Villa player for distracting rival with ‘ungentlemanly conduct’ at key moment in match…

The drive to bring good manners back to football has reached new heights after a referee issued a yellow card to a player for “breaking wind” as a penalty was being taken.

The official deemed the act “ungentlemanly conduct” and booked the player responsible. However Chorlton Villa, who conceded a goal on the second take, went on to win the match 6-4 against local rivals International Manchester FC at Turn Moss in Stretford, Manchester, last Sunday.

The article goes on to say:

“This has come at a bad time in the season as we don’t have sponsor and we are looking for a new sponsor for next season.”

Heinz Beans perhaps? I’ll stop there—oh wait pull my finger.
