The weekend just gone had it all. Brentford doing that thing we’ll never talk of again, Manchester City winning again and Sheffield United being leap frogged at the bottom as a result of their 0-8 home defeat. Newcastle United inflicting a scoreline that went beyond those legendary brackets we love so much.
It got me thinking about brackets (and their correct usage) aswell as those other more unusual things that can happen in a game of football.
So much so that we’ve used the latest of our broader looks at the beautiful game to pick out the top five of the absurd. From Pat Jennings (kicking, not hair) to what happens when the weather goes rogue.
You can read the top five here in our weekly catch up…..

How about kick off delayed due to the number of fans still trying to get into the ground? Not a recent thing but has happened in the past. I also attended a non league game where kick off was delayed as the opposition had been held up on the motorway due to an accident and arrived late. Apparently they warmed up on the hard shoulder!
Yes – good call. We’ve also had ‘floodlight failure’ suggested
