Pic: Corner flag requires substitution after James Milner snaps it in half

Where's Dougal when you need him?

Ben Kiely

Fr Dougal McGuire’s absence at White Hart Lane today was noticeable.

There was strange incident during Man City’s Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur today that resulted in a corner flag being broken in two.

James Milner fell to the turf near the oppostion goal-line but was unimpressed that the referee failed to penalise the Spurs player who brought him down.

A furious Milner took his frustrations out on a nearby corner flag and swiped at it with his hand. Milner showed hulk-like strength (the comic book hero, not the striker… also the striker) and managed to snap the flag in half with the palm of his hand.

Check out the result of Milner’s rampage below.

The sad thing is, this incident could have easily been prevented by Tottenham if they had hired the requisite staff.
