It was absolutely shocking

What a cheat. I don't have a link (GIYLF), but what happened was that Dida failed to hold onto a fairly tame (though very skilfully placed, bent round a couple of defenders so Dida saw it late) shot. Scott MacDonald was first to the rebound and slotted it.

Dida did a huge offside appeal (no chance) and then realised that he had pooped it big time. He was standing there in embarrassment when a pissed Celtic fan ran on, ran up to him, laughed at him, patted him once on the shoulder in a mocking way and ran off.

Dida's first reaction was the human one - he thought "I'm gonna kill that t**t", and he turned round and sprinted after him.

But then the professional footballer in him took over. After he'd run 5 yards or so, he suddenly thought of what he would have done if it had been a Celtic player who'd patted him, and he dropped like a stone, as if someone had t**tted him with a pickaxe handle.

He then did lots of rolling around clutching his FACE (which had not been touched), called for an ice pack, and unbelievably was stretchered off. STRETCHERED OFF. For a pat on the shoulder!!!

It was a new low. Worse than Rivaldo.

Blindasabat, this is exactly the sort of incident that makes me prefer watching rugby to football.
