Trial for UK Soccer Hooligan Delayed When Bathroom Partition Falls Him

You’re all familiar with soccer hooligans, aren’t you? Tough guys who always want to brawl with other soccer fans, get into it with the police and generally cause trouble without regard to their own physical safety. Like Liam Melody, 19, of Stanley Gardens, Wallington, a member of the fearsome Holmesdale Fanatics who’s on trial in the United Kingdom for allegedly pushing a stadium steward over a railing during one game and provoking a fight during another. If convicted, he could face a lifetime ban from ALL soccer stadiums in the country.

That is, if his trial ever gets underway.

It was delayed last week after–we’re not making this up!–a partition above the urinals at Croydon Magistrates’ Court fell on his head. Mr. Melody then ran into the courtroom with a gash on his head “crying for his dad” according to reports.

The urinal partition just fell on his head? And there’s no chance he got angry, punched the wall and it fell on his head in a grand example of Karma being a bitch?  We may never know, but Melody’s trial is expected to resume soon and we can only home he stays safe until it’s over.

Would this happen anywhere else in the world? Japanese soccer fans pour out into the street to celebrate their team’s win, but when the traffic light changes they all rush back to the sidewalks as requested by the cops, wait patiently for the light to change, then start partying again.

Painful Sports Video: Romanian Soccer Fan Punches Player During Game

Things took an ugly turn, even by football hooligan standards, this week during a Romanian soccer match Steaua and Petrolul Ploiești at Ilie Oana stadium in Ploieșt (You were probably watching it on ESPN9 on your iPhone). In the video, you’ll see the fan in black just jogs across the field and punches Steaua Bucharest defender George Galamaz, breaking his cheekbone. Galamaz was treated and released from a hospital, but will be sidelined for 45 days. The hooligan, Dragos Petrut Enache, was charged with committing a violent act and disturbing public order.
