Soccer Player Gets Death Threats For Injuring Wanna Be Soccer Player

((HT: Fox Soccer/BT Sport))

Charity matches are what charity matches are...

The opportunity for wanna be's and never were's to match their egos with the abilities of actual soccer players...

Gabby Agbonlahor challenged One Direction's Louis Tomlinson for the ball and...

Here's the play...


Now, Agbonlahor is getting death threats on the Twitter for the tackle... and, admittedly, the HQ has BARELY heard of One Direction...

Two Guilty In Assassination Plot On Celtic's Lennon

((HT: RTE One/youtube))

The HQ knows how mental fans get when it comes to their teams and local sports here in the States. But there's a different level of silliness overseas...

Add to that the whole Catholic-Protestant thing, and it goes sideways very quickly.

The nail bombs that were being made with all of those materials were being sent to the manager of Celtic, Neil Lennon, a member of Parliament, a key attorney, and a group that wants a unified Ireland

Surprise... McKenzie and Muirhead are fans of Celtic's main rival- Rangers.

Sentencing is set for April 27.

Here's some behind the scenes stuff on Lennon from an interview he did on Irish network RTE...

OSG Old Firm: 5 Goals, 3 Red Cards, and No Clinch

((HT: SkySports/SPL/youtube))


And your post-game from SkySports and QuickFireEPL as well...


It's not every day that you see a manager sent off with two of his players, and the HQ figures that Celtic will have to clinch somewhere else other than Ibrox...

Definitely, Bucket List material...
