Bloody hell, this world.
It's been a crazy day here on planet earth.

In the sporting world though, former paralympian Oscar Pistorius and footballing superstar Lionel Messi stole the headlines. But what was seen as a light sentence for the South African didn't go down too well. Nor did Messi looking like he'll avoid jail time.

And he's right about this too. Three massive stories - two of which are pretty much being dwarfed.
