  • This is some mucked up incident !
  • the reporter is so relaxed?!?!!

    'theres a suspicion of witchcraft because the scores were finely balanced'

    'it is relativley frequent for football teams to hire witchdoctors to place hexes on the opponents.'

    oh, of course, of course

    wow! RIP those 11.
  • Crikey... I think this has happened before. One team was wearing one type of boots, and that is why only they were killed. More likely than witchcraft anyway!
  • as i guess from the video the lightning hit the ground and then was conducted through the victimes feet. so having different boots from the other team, ones in which conduct the current more, seems like you say McBobbin the best explanation for this.

    The video is not of the Congolese game - I'm guessing it's of the South African one mentioned in the article where six players were hurt.

    Actually, call me a cynic but I reckon the article about the 11 players being killed is a load of rubbish.

  • They ain't dead they're being interviewed!!!

    Tragic loss, Scottish international inside right wore number 8 shirt very good player.

    If you saw my fil, he's the spit of John, I was shocked when a spurs fan at work showed me a picture of John.

    Pretty sure he was a tallish inside forward, fair/red headed and graceful on the ball. Seem to remember it reported he was sheltering under a tree during a storm.

    The more I look into it, the more I think you're right. I can't find any decent sources for the original story.
  • Looking at that video, I didn't realise that the normal treatment for someone who had been electrocuted was to stretch his hamstring or rub a bag of ice on his head!
