Ending The Career Of An Opponent On Live Television? Bad Idea.

[101 Great Goals]

Don’t Scandinavian footballers realize they have these crazy new inventions called televisions and from these televisions we can see pretty much damn near anything that happens on the field of play for 90 minutes? Mad, I know, but true.

After yesterday’s subjective goal mouth regulations we get word of a “horror tackle” in Norway, which upon review looks more like “impending criminal charges”. Aalesund and Odd Grenland were taking part in a cup match when Aeselund’s Johan Arneng nudged Odd’s Kennet Dokken, who took great exception to this nudge (of course – what’s a nudge if not a great disrespect to one’s manhood?). So he proceeded to pull a Nancy Kerrigan on Arneng’s knee. As is typical for Scandinavian referees, apparently, he did not see it, but televisions (!) did.

It’s probably advisable that Dokken lawyer up real quick.
