Mido tantrum
James McFadden was less than happy about being substituted on Saturday. The striker grumbled at manager George Burley when he left the pitch during Scotland’s World Cup qualifier against Norway. But when it comes to sulking, McFadden has nothing on Mido.
The Egyptian striker’s fight with coach Hassan Shehata - during the 2006 African Cup of Nations - earned him a six-month suspension from international football. Mido’s replacement scored within four minutes of coming onto the pitch; a goal which put Egypt through to the final.
