Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 A man has been arrested after a referee was reportedly BEHEADED in retaliation for stabbing a player during an amateur football match in Brazil. The trouble began when referee Octavio da Silva Catanhede Jordan, 20, sent off Josenir dos Santos Abreu, 30, during a match in the Pius XII stadium, Maranhao, last Sunday. The player refused to leave the field and began insulting the referee, who was said to be carrying a knife and stabbed him. Enraged spectators then ran on to the pitch to exact revenge on the ref. According to reports he was tied up and stoned to death, before being quartered and then decapitated in horrifically violent scenes. It is also alleged his head was then impaled on a stake which was planted in the middle of the pitch. Josenir dos Santos Abreu was taken to hospital but died of his injuries. The 2014 World Cup in Brazil is going to be very interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MELTONSTILTON 452 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Football = 22 Silly, overpaid, sometimes self centered folk, running around with a bag of wind, on a rectangular 100-yard-long field with goal lines and goal posts at either end = My opinion of football. Will I be watching The 2014 World Cup in Brazil , Guess........... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
