As the Mighty MJD mentioned on Saturday, the pro-Ohio State group The Dead Schembechlers have disbanded due to the death of the actual Bo Schembechler. But we here in the U.S. do not have a monopoly on class. Over in England, Newcastle soccer coach Glenn Roeder had emergency life-saving surgery to remove a brain tumor three years ago, a fact that did not go unnoticed by fans of rival club Arsenal on Saturday, who gave him the following heartfelt tribute:


Glenn Roeder was subjected to sickening abuse from Arsenal fans, who shouted at him: "Sit down tumour boy". It led to one of Newcastle's coaching staff turning round and making an obscene gesture at the Arsenal supporters after Kieron Dyer fired the visitors into the lead at the Emirates Stadium.

Of course, this is just an isolated incident. No need to draw any conclusions.
