Blackburn manager asked when he’ll quit, calls fan a ‘doughnut’
Things aren't going so hot for Blackburn manager Steve Kean. Though he's been given a contract to continue as gaffer until 2013 since taking over for Sam Allardyce in December, he's struggled to turn the club's fortunes around. They currently sit just two points out of the relegation zone and fans obviously aren't too happy with that fact.
When a Rovers fan shouted at him just as he was about to head down the tunnel at Ewood Park this week, asking "When are you going to resign?" not once but three times, Kean responded by stating that it was a "stupid question." The fan wittily snapped back, "No it's not." According to whoever uploaded this clip to YouTube, Kean then called the fan a "doughnut," but it's difficult to make out and I couldn't really hear it. I hope it's true, though, because that's a hilarious insult. Much better than Rio Ferdinand calling someone an "egg." Anyway, the fan ends the pleasant exchange by accusing Kean of destroying the club as he walks away.
This, my friends, is just one of the many fun aspects of being a Premier League manager.

As You Were, Says FIFA
FIFA rolled out the changes in typical FIFA fashion today: there are none.
The possibility for a shuffle of allocated spots at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil was opened to the floor and CONCACAF, led by the all-powerful Jack Warner, steamed into town requesting another spot at the expense of…someone. Likely Africa.
No such luck.
What’s astounding [...]

DTotD: Braga’s Paulo Cesar tries to remove a foot
Thursday's Europa League match between Braga and Dynamo Kiev got ugly when Braga's Paulo Cesar went in with a late challenge right on Andriy Yarmolenko's ankle. A scuffle ensued and had Yarmolenko not jumped as the challenge came in, his foot could very well be a separate entity from the rest of his body right now.
Dynamo's Yevhen Khacheridi and Braga's Miguel Hugo Viana were both shown yellow cards for their part in the aftermath, while Paulo Cesar earned a straight red for taking out Yarmolenko (who no one thought to check on during all the shoving).
The match ended in a 0-0 draw, with Braga advancing on an away goal after the 1-1 first leg.
Retired Ronaldo sings ‘Satisfaction’ to Bono and The Edge
After comparing themselves to the likes of Lionel Messi and Carlos Tevez in Argentina, U2's tour mega-money tour rumbled on to stops in Brazil and it appears they've made a friend during their visit. According to Retired Ronaldo's Twitter account, the band dedicated "Get on Your Boots" to him during their show in Sao Paulo.
Ronaldo returned the favor at a bar where he was partying with Bono and The Edge by singing the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" just for them. Though he was drowned out a bit by his duet partner, Ronaldo showed off some dance moves that were almost like a faster version of Peter Crouch's robot. I don't know what you'd call that dance. The Spaz, maybe?
The Edge and Bono then took their turns on the mic and Retired Ronaldo capped things off by getting his picture taken with Bono and a Corinthians shirt...
By looks on their faces, it appears a good time was had by all. And Bono probably blacked out seconds after this photo was snapped.
