Two Iranian football players given the red card... after 'inappropriate' buttock squeezing goal celebration

Iran's football federation has suspended two players for the ‘inappropriate’ goal celebration of buttock squeezing.

Mohammad Nosrati appeared to briefly put his hand on Sheys Rezaei as players of the team Persepolis huddled together to celebrate a goal against Damash Gilan in a televised match on Saturday.

The pair were also reportedly fined almost £25,000 each and their actions might have caused little comment in the West where fans are used to ‘laddish’ behaviour by football stars, but it caused outrage in the Islamic republic.

Jalal Yahyazadeh, a cleric and member of parliament, called it a ‘shameless act’ and added that it had ‘upset, angered and outraged’ all sports fans. [DailyMail]

Fikile Mbalula's Drama

"I used a condom but it burst" - Mbalula fury over pregnant mistress

MINISTER of Sports and Recreation Fikile Mbalula’s ghosts are crawling out of their graves to haunt him.

Mbalula’s vivacious ex-girlfriend Joyce Molamu claims to be pregnant with his child after a steamy sexual encounter on the day they met.

Mbalula allegedly fell head-over-heels in love with the sprightly Molamu at a shindig hosted by a friend in Saxonworld, northern Joburg.

The love-struck Molamu apparently invited Mbalula to her house, where they bonked like rabbits on steroids.

Mbalula then jetted off to New Zealand to watch the Springboks play in a Rugby World Cup showpiece.

All hell broke loose when Molamu, who has a five-month-old child, informed Mbalula on his return that she didn’t buy the morning-after pill and that she was pregnant with his child.

She declines to comment, saying: “I’ve been advised by my lawyers not to comment on the matter.”
