[QUOTE]There were absolutely horrific scenes at an amateur football match in Brazil when spectators lynched a referee and put his head on a stake after he had killed a player.
The barely believable incident happened in Maranhao, Brazil, last Sunday.
According to reports in Brazil, referee Otavio Jordao da Silva (20) fatally stabbed footballer Josenir dos Santos Abreu (30) during a heated moment of a match.
Santos Abreu is believed to have argued and then struck the referee after being unhappy with a decision.
It is believed the referee was carrying a knife throughout the match and fatally stabbed the player in retaliation.
Santos Abreu was rushed to hospital but died from injuries on the way.
Outraged by the incident, some spectators then apparently decided to inflict a gruesome revenge on the referee.
According to reports, the referee was tied up, beaten, stoned and quartered. They then put his head on a stake and planted it in the middle of the pitch.
One man, Luiz Moraes de Souza, 27, has been arrested over the incident. He has admitted to assaulting the referee but denied killing the man. Police are searching for two more suspects.
They are currently viewing video footage of the incident filmed by a witness with a mobile phone.
In a statement, the regional delegate of Santa Ines, Valter Costa, who is looking after the case, said: "One crime never justifies another crime. Actions likes this do not collaborate with the legality of state law."[/QUOTE]

What the fuck
Football is no fucking joke.
He stabbed a player, then they put his head on a goddamn pike.
At an [I]amateur[/I] football game.
the fuck
i thought the 'beheaded' part was some sort of euphemistic exaggeration for a verbal chewing out or something.
NOT A LITERAL BEHEADING
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Especially if it's collected with interest. Seriously. Isn't that a more gruesome death then a stabbing?
Welcome to South American sports. It's some serious shit down there.
things like this will surely make everyone feel better about them not only hosting the Olympics in a few years... but the World Cup next year.
[quote]If I'm supposed to have some sorrow and pity for the Ref - sorry ain't going to happen........and I officiate games. Ref "got what he deserved". If that had happened in the USA we would have put him away for life at an enormous expense to the taxpayers - when most would be chanting "off with his head." Don't do the Crime if you can't do the time! Ref isn't an Angel here - hard to have any sympathy for him.[/quote]
They're hosting the World Cup next year I believe. Wouldn't be surprised if that was reconsidered after this.
This just sounds unreal :v:
I thought smurfy was at it again with his news thread titles, but nope, not this time.
I'm really looking forward to the World cup being held there.
the one time SH doesn't over dramatise a headline is also the time I really wish they did.
Absolutely fucking ridiculous.
Bloody animals, what the fuck

Yeah, but in the USA usually we don't have a.) players who slap the referee, and b.) knife-wielding referees on the field.
Holy Shit!

This is an amateur game at an needy state, that means its not in any way organized by any official authorities, just a bunch of people playing a game and taking justice by their own hands, sure its an brutal act of violence, with really no words to describe how horrible it is, but it doesn't mean its in any way shape or form a representation of a world cup game made by an international organization with years of preparation, security and other.
Holy fucking shit, they [i]quartered him?[/i] This is medieval shit.
I can understand being unreasonably mad at a ref if he killed a player, but a mob lynching? Jesus Christ.
Sounds like foul play was involved.
This is why I dont like watching sports. Everyone seems to forget that its just a fucking game (players, refs, and fans).
What ever happened to sportsmanship?

Wow that's brutal.
For anyone curious its an extremely blurry picture where you can see the rough outline of a head with a stick coming out, then joined on the right a picture of the headless body which also had both his legs ripped off from just below the knee.

Team allegiance, million dollar contracts and a competitive industry.
Holy fuck.
I [b]think[/b] i'm not the only one who was expecting some barely civilized Middle Eastern shithole instead of Brazil from the title.
Holy shit, they didn't just behead the referee, but they butchered his entire body!
And if I'm not totally mistaken, the referee also stabbed someone to death?? Not that it should warrant such a fucked up fate, but.. just holy fucking shit!
When they quartered and decrapitated him were they allowed to use their hands? Cause that would violate the spirit of the game if they did.
