IT’S THE FIRST Saturday of the new year so that must mean FA Cup third round action in England where – John Motson voice – plucky underdogs look to upset the odds against big name opposition.
One team looking to cause a shock are Blyth Spartans who play in the seventh tier of English football and host Championship outfit Birmingham this afternoon.
Here, courtesy of the BBC’s Dan Walker, is the list of the fines handed out to players with the Northern Premier League outfit and includes theft (using someone else’s shower gel, £1) and and peeing in the shower (£2).
Oddly, missing a match will cost you a fiver but missing a team night out is double that at a tenner.
