Supporters blamed for causing a worrying crush at Fulham before Tuesday’s Brazil-Ghana friendly have hit back and pinned the blame firmly on the door of the Premier League club.

Hundreds of Huddersfield Town fans look likely to boycott their side's derby at Sheffield United on Tuesday in protest at the cost of their match ticket. Terriers supporters could end up paying as much as £4.50 more than home fans for "equivalent" seating and it's all allowed under the Football League's own rules. The boycott could see more than £12,000 in gate revenue lost by the club as hundreds of fans are threatening to give the game a miss.

And finally... paying the penalty

Across to north Africa for this week's clip with Amir Sayoud of Egypt's most successful club side Al-Ahly making a name for himself with a shocker of a penalty. He gets booked in the process too, just to add insult to injury. But what's so bad about it?
