Here's my first contribution. This one's on inept refereeing. If you thought 3 red cards in a game was bad...

"In a Napoli-Salernitana local derby in 1945, a referee named Stampacchia lost control of the match and faced a pitch invasion from a large a hostile crowd. At this, Signore Stampacchia wisely pretended to have been shot. A large and concerned crowd gathered around the fallen official's tragically supine form - at which point, tempers having cooled nicely, Stampacchia got back up and continued the game."

Okkey dokkey. Will do. Here one random non-sports-related joke that just popped into my head. Since nothing sports related is coming out right now, here it is-

Q: Have you seen Stevie Wonder's children?

Back in the 70s and 80s, when Indian cricketers were trying to imitate Elvis, Sunil Gavaskar was at the crease once and his hair kept falling over his face. He went up to Dickie Bird and asked him whether he could do anything about it. Dickie Bird said that he probably could, took out a pair of scissors and snipped off Sunny's locks.

Pretty rescourceful for an umpire, eh? Wonder what Darrell Hair would do if he had a pair of scissors.

This one's on Roman Abramovich's wife:

His wife, Irina, who grew up poor and met him when she was an airline stewardess, has grown into quite an enthusiastic shopper. She saw a house in posh Eaton Square in London. It wasn't for sale but she fancied it - and the wonderful art collection in it. So Roman offered £40million for the lot. The owner declined. £60m? No thank you. £100m? Goodbye and don't come asking again.

And in other news Chelsea are bringing the beach to Stamford Bridge. Again! Pooh.
