OSG Prem: Leicester City's Pearson Charged By FA For Fan Outburst

((HT: BBC Sport))

LCFC's boss, Nigel Pearson, has never been one to back down from anything short of a charging rhino. And, then, if that happens the rhino would be in for a battle.

Let's face it, LCFC has been in a rough spot in their first year in the Premier League. And a fan allegedly told Pearson that he was a "twat" from the stands in the loss to Liverpool.

Not one to let those kinds of things go, Pearson responded by telling the fan to "f*** off and die."
Pearson wouldn't apologize, either, for it.

As a result, the FA has charged Pearson:

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has been charged by The FA in relation to his side’s game against Liverpool on 2 December 2014.

It is alleged that during the fixture Mr Pearson used abusive and/or insulting words towards a spectator.

He has until 6pm on 16 December 2014 to respond to the charge.

LCFC Supporter's Club chair Cliff Ginnetta told BBC Sport:

"He should put his hands up, admit he was out of order, apologise to the people and move on, that's all everyone wants," said Ginnetta.
"We don't want to make it a big thing or play it out like a pantomime, we just want to get on with winning games.

"I'm sure the majority do (still support him). People are worried and moaning, but that's football fans, you're never really happy. It's the nature of the beast.

"He is popular but this arrogance spills over sometimes."

All this as the Foxes have only taken 2 points out of a possible 27 in their last 9 matches.

((HT: Fox 8/WEWS-TV))

A high school football game between Garfield Heights and Collinwood (OH) was called because of a fight that started either in one of two places: after a cheap shot on the field and escalated on the field, or something that started in the stands and ended on the field with that outburst...

Initially, five people were arrested but two were released after the first hours in the investigation.

Here's (believe it or not) chopper video of the moment the fight happened...

Montreal-Ottawa Was One Of The Year's Best... And That's Just In The Stands...

((HT: Sportsnet))

It was, probably, one of the best games of the year to date in the National Hockey League- and it, pretty much, featured everything. Long runs, lead changes, own goals, nationalism, and the fans getting involved...

For those not familiar with the geography of the situation, the nation's capital of Canada is on the riverside of the border of Ontario and Quebec province. And that river separates English-speaking majority from Quebec and their French-speaking nationalists on the other bank.

And the HQ would love to know how Habs fans bought seats in the lower bowl at Ottawa last night...

But, here's what happened on the ice...

And it even carried over into the stands in the battle of French and English-speaking Canada...
