BBC NEWS | Middle East | Iraqi footballer shot dead by fan

Quote:

An Iraqi football player has been shot dead by a spectator as he was about to score an equalising goal.

The shooting happened in the last minute of a game between two local rivals on Sunday, police say.

The striker was shot in the head during the match in the city of Hilla, according to local security officials.

The game was being played between Sinjar and Buhayra. The suspected killer has been arrested as police carry out an investigation.

It was either the article title for the thread or "HOLY *bleep*ING *bleep*!!!

I mean, I really have no coherent thoughts on this other than of being stunned that it has never actually happened (outside of movies, of course).

It is the logical extention of soccer hooligan illogic. I just can't imagine what it's like to put oneself in that mindset in the first place.

Not the logical extension of living in a war torn country overrun by Americans and split along religious lines?

Seriously, you've just mugged yourself off.

I saw this on the United forums yesterday.. it's such a disgrace to the game. The Iraqi's had said that the matches had given some sort of normalcy to the region..now some dumb fuck has gone and done this.

It pisses me off quite a bit.. wtf are these idiots doing? First the cricket incident and now this.. the blood of innocents must weigh heavy.

Almost the same way I felt about Joe Dumars for trading away Chauncey Billups for Allen Iverson.

Really though, thats pretty awful. The mental capacity of a tick.

This is horrible alright...
I think the situation at Iraq is slightly better, but seeing this i can say that it is still a messed up place.
