Revenge is sweet...

[The Watcher Pat]

FOOTBALL'S coming home for the Manchester United fan accused of
throwing a coin at Man City striker Craig Bellamy.
In fact, it's coming right to his front door.

For Red Devils supporter Adam Teese is feeling the flipside of his
alleged coin attack - with furious City fans bombarding his house with
pranks.

Adam's name and address were released by police after the season
ticket holder was charged with throwing a coin at Bellamy during the
Manchester derby last week.

And within 24 hours, the enraged blue half of Manchester had ordered
him Ł150-worth of pizzas, a skip, rat exterminators and two prostitutes.

The barrage of jokes didn't end there either. City supporters also:
- Requested a visit from an Avon rep
- Signed him up online as a rent boy
- Applied for an Ocean Finance loan for his mum
- Reported a gas leak in the middle of the night so he got a call out
within the hour
- Booked a rep to go and see him about getting an indoor swimming pool
- Ordered him a 4 ft tall Bronze figurine of Winston Churchill on a
14 day trial
- Sent a breakdown truck
- Sent Jehovah's Witnesses round
- Grassed him up for growing drugs at his house
- Grassed him up for being a benefit cheat
- Got him a weekend booking of a 1957 Pink Cadillac complete with
1950's style Elvis dressed chauffer
- Signed up his phone number to receive adult chat
- Ordered him a Daffy Duck bouncy castle and puppet show for his garden
- Ordered squeaky the clown to go and perform for him

Details of the pranks began surfacing on supporters' forums. Despite
later being removed by Man City website Blue Moon, they were still
picked up by other clubs.

This resulted in yet more misery for 26-year-old Adam, who lives with
his parents. But dad Joseph, 55, raged: "We've had no end of trouble
- I've had to take time off work to deal with it." Teese will appear
before Trafford Magistrates on February 9 accused of "throwing a
missile on to the pitch" during the Carling Cup Semi- Final second leg
at Old Trafford.

Mum Deborah insists her son is innocent, adding: "I was sat next to
him and he did not throw anything. We actually had to duck when a
bottle was thrown over us!"

Last night a Greater Manchester Police spokeswoman said: "Officers are
investigating the incidents."

If he threw the coin he has no one to blame but himself so I would say tough sh1t.

On the other hand what about innocent until proven guilty?

[The Watcher Pat]

I blame the Police for releasing his name and address to the public domain.

[pintsofguinness]

They ones orgnaising the "pranks" are no better than him.  Scumbags all.

[Tony Baloney]

I blame the Police for releasing his name and address to the public domain.

This is a big problem. The peelers and courts have ruined hundreds of lives by releasing personal information on suspects before they have been convicted of any crime. Particularly bad in rape cases.

[Celt_Man]

I blame the Police for releasing his name and address to the public domain.

Same here.  They had no business doing that

Mum Deborah insists her son is innocent, adding: "I was sat next to
him and he did not throw anything. We actually had to duck when a
bottle was thrown over us!"

btw what self respecting 26 year old hooligan (allegedly) sits beside him mother a football match?

And while we're at it, its about time he moved out of home!

I thought Tony had finally gotten Trevor Hill banned when I saw this thread.

[longrunsthefox]

They ones orgnaising the "pranks" are no better than him.  Scumbags all.

'They ones orgnaising'.... is that really you Pints?  yeah it must be you, labelling people  as 'scumbags' again 

[pintsofguinness]

aye, I'm sure they're fine upstanding members of society. 

[longrunsthefox]

It's that expresion as the thread says, 'grinds my gears.' Reminds me of auld dolls with their teeth out on the Stephen Nolan Show,   'They're scum so they are Stephen, real scum.'

[the colonel]

I'd get a while clashing from the oul doll if I done anything like that. Find it hard to believe someone would do it with his ma beside him. Innocent until proven quilty

[J70]

There's no justice like mob justice!

: Top bullfighter gored in Mexico

One of Spain's leading matadors was seriously injured in Mexico when a 1,100-pound bull gored him in the groin and hoisted him into the air, causing major blood loss, his manager said.

Jose Tomas received a transfusion of 17 pints of blood after being gored by a beast named Navegante in the Mexican city of Aguascalientes.

The bull's horn penetrated 4 inches into Tomas' groin and punctured a vein and an artery, manager Salvador Boix told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser from Aguascalientes.

Tomas, one of Spain's most popular matadors, has a relatively rare blood type - A- - and bled so profusely that bullring officials appealed over the arena loudspeakers for compatible donors to come forward for transfusions, Boix said.

Bullring doctors operated on the 34-year-old Tomas immediately to stabilise him, and he underwent more surgery later at a hospital for more than three hours.

"Now he has new blood and is in intensive care, waiting to see how things evolve," Boix said, adding that Tomas is not conscious.

Mexican television footage aired on the website of the Spanish newspaper El Mundo shows Tomas working the animal with his cape when the bull makes a quick turn toward the matador and catches him in the groin, lifting him into the air for a few seconds and shaking its head with Tomas dangling from its sharp left horn.

Once on the ground, Tomas rolled away and held his hands up as if to say he was OK, but a large, dark red stain was already spreading through his glittering gold suit.

The newspaper El Pais said Tomas' injury was so serious that the bullring doctors who first operated on him did not even take time to anesthetise him.

Tomas is known for a daring bullfighting style in which he gets particularly close to the bull. His full name is Jose Tomas Roman Martin.
