Louise Adriano’s unsporting goal we kick
things off with a great lesson and how
not to conduct yourself regarding the
unwritten rules of fair play
Shakhtar Donetsk FC nordsjælland in the
2012-2013 Champions League season and
after an or zealand player went down due
to a head injury the referee was forced
to stop play as part of the standard
fair play practice Shakhtar’s Willian
booted the ball downfield to give
possession back to nords Eiland but
Shakhtar’s luiz adriano was a little
goal crazy on the day as the nord
zealand defenders stood and watched the
ball roll back to their goalkeeper to
resume play the opportunistic luiz
adriano collected the ball himself
rounded the keeper and scored the goal
stood but Adriana was subsequently given
a one-match ban for quote violation of
the principles of conduct number 9

the worst in some players after Valencia

slow and Valencia’s Carlos Marchena at
the center of it while most surrounding
the two tried to pull them apart

imprint on the fracas by throwing a
sucker punch at produce those nose but

inter Milan players chased after Navarro
all trying to trip him up to exact
revenge on him Navarro was given a seven
month ban but it was reduced to six
months after a few weeks number 8
Rijkaard spits on bowler
spitting on or at your opponent is
considered to be the ultimate sign of
disrespect
keep that in mind during this tale of
Holland’s Frank Rijkaard and Germany’s
rudi völler here’s the Cliff Notes
version of how it went down
bowler was setting up for a free kick
when Rijkaard spat in his curly mop
Wolle runs to the referee complaining
and gets the yellow card for his efforts
later when challenging the Dutch keeper
for a ball
Buller jumps to get out of the way but
the Dutch see it has to dive
Rijkaard rushes over shoves bowler grabs
his ear stamps on his foot and the
referee sends both players off on the
way to the dressing room Rijkaard spits
on fuller once more for good measure
number 7 peppe’s bad day anyone who was
watching football for the last decade or
so we’ll know that Pepe has a habit of
taking his tough and gritty defending
just a tad too far while there are many
moments we could choose from we’ll stick
to one particularly bad night for the
Brazilian born Portuguese international
while he was with Real Madrid in an
important legal match against Qaddafi
Pepe not only blatantly and viciously
kicked the legs out from hot off a
captain Javy Kaskade Oh
but while Castillo was down he stepped
on him kicked him again and then aimed a
punch at one of his teammates Madrid’s
keeper ekata Casillas had to step in to
escort his teammate off of the pitch
yikes
number 6 Dyer and Boyer’s brawl now
football isn’t totally bereft of the
tussle now and then but a fight between
teammates you barely ever get that in
hockey such was the case in April 2005
his Newcastle found themselves three nil
down at home to Aston Villa when Kieron
Dyer and Li Boyer got into a fight on
the pitch and both were subsequently
shown a red card
according to Dyer the fight occurred due
to dyers refusal to past a Boyar due to
his shall we say lack of talent Boyer
exploded and came at Dyer with the
punches in front of 50,000 fans number 5
Zidane sees red Zinedine Zidane has
proven on two occasions now that he
likes to go out with a bang in May of
2018
it was his bombshell Real Madrid
resignation but his real magnum opus was
the final match of his playing career
when Italian defender Marco Materazzi
got on the Frenchman’s nerves and got a
headbutt to the chest in an interview in
2010 Zidane said that he would never
apologize to matter at sea though he
regrets his reaction the reason for this
violent
action the Italians constantly insulting
see Dan’s mother whom unbeknownst to
them was sick in the hospital at the
time
so when madirasi started mouthing off
enough was enough history made number
four thatcher hospitalizes mensch in
August of 2006 Portsmouth was playing
away to Manchester City Portsmouth
midfielder Pedro men’s beat Thatcher in
a race for a ball noticing this Thatcher
jumped elbow first and dementia jaw and
instantly knocked him out men’s flew
into the ad boards and was taken
straight to hospital but would recover
in a couple of days Manchester City
suspended Thatcher for six matches while
the Football Association gave him
another eight number three on Rees
handball when Arsenal signed Thierry
Henry in 1999 there’s no way that even
arsene wenger could have known just how
good he would become and the legendary
status he would go on to create for
himself within the English Premier
League however he lost the respect of
many Republic of Ireland fans in the
second leg of their 2010 World Cup
qualification playoff match tied 1-1 on
aggregate the match went to extra time
in the 103rd minute
Tyrion reused his hand to control the
ball then square it to William Gallas
for what would be the winning goal the
referee didn’t see the hand ball the
goal stood and Ireland didn’t make it to
the World Cup in South Africa despite a
petition to have the map replayed number
two the hand of God
now if Thierry Henry’s handball was bad
and here comes Diego Maradona to do one
better in the 1986 World Cup final match
between Argentina and England the game
was level early in the second half
English defender Steve Hodges miss hit
clearance loop toward Maradona in the
box and with Maradona being about eight
inches shorter than English keeper Peter
Shilton he jumped and punched the ball
over Shilton and into the goal the
referees missed it and the goal counted
Argentina went on to win 2-1
and after the game Maradona jokes that
the goal was scored quote a little with
the head of Maradona and a little with
the hand of God before we unveil our top
pick here are a few dishonorable
mentions
[Music]
number one Suarez’s handball against
Ghana well we could have talked about
the time that Luis Suarez bit psv
eindhoven zot man McHale
or the time that he bit Branislav
Ivanovic or Giorgio Chiellini those
moments while violent and unsavory just
weren’t as cheater e enough for us in
step Suarez as incident against Ghana in
the 2010 World Cup quarter-finals tied
in extra time
Ghana’s Steven Appiah looked to have
sent Ghana to a historic World Cup
semi-final but before the ball crossed
the line
Suarez reached out and blocked it with
his hands he was given a red card Ghana
was given a penalty and Asamoah Gyan hit
it off the crossbar to add insult to
injury odigo I won in the shootout and
Suarez said he would cheat again if he
found himself in that same situation
