The Irianians have a big problem with one soccer player touching another player’s butt. However, rushing onto the field to pummel a ref whose decision you didn’t like? Apparently that’s OK. It happened during a lower league match between Chooka Talesh and Shahrdari Dezfool last weekend, as a ref gave a second yellow card to a Chooka Talesh player — who grabbed it out of the ref’s hand and threw it in his face. Then a coach went after the ref and craziness ensued.

The Irianian government is closely examining this video to make sure there was no butt touching.
