Press Release Summary = Footballers behaving badly . . . now they've got their own website.
Press Release Body = FOOTBALLERS behaving badly . . . now they've got their own website.
Inclusion in www.footballersareidiots.co.uk is nothing for them to take pride in though, for it's an anthology of absurd antics, a compendium of cringe, a parade of petulant prima donnas.
Amidst bungs, teenage tantrums and Ashley Cole's autobiography, recent days have seen tales of:
*A Belgian striker who missed a match due to a family bereavement - that of his dog;
*A South American 'hardman' who still lives with his mummy;
*A Chelsea multi-millionaire on £130,000 a week complaining about London house prices;
*And a Brazilian referee awarding a goal scored by a ball boy.
So, what inspired this blog of buffoonery?
Creator David Walker explained: "I want it to become the definite log of all that is wrong with the modern footballer.
"Its aim is to 'name and shame' those who behave, on or off the pitch, in a manner perceived as idiotic."
But the 26-year-old Cardiff City season ticket holder does have sympathy with the overpaid sportsmen who swim in the goldfish bowl.
"No matter how much they earn, they are still human and prone to being just as bad as any other young men. The only difference is their downfalls are played out under the full spotlight of the media."
So which footballer does the creator of www.footballersareidiots.co.uk most admire?
Perhaps a paragon of sporting perfection, flawlessness and virtue who would never appear on the website.
"Erm," says David. "Wayne Rooney."
