A video of the fight has been widely shared on social media showing two grown men wrestling in the stands while punches are thrown. One of the men gets topless after his jumper is dragged over his head, while his assailant ends up on all fours on the stairway as shocked onlookers look on aghast. The scrap is eventually broken up after stewards and fellow fans attempt to restore calm to the unedifying scenes. The shocking display comes after the Tartan Army were widely praised for their good-natured support earlier this summer when they made headlines while abroad in Germany for the Euros, despite the brutal exit Scotland had at the tournament.

Steve Clarke last night refused to single out Grant Hanley after the defender conceded the stoppage-time penalty which continued Scotland's woeful run of results. Two goals down to Poland in the opening game of their Nations League group, the Scots dragged themselves back into the match with second-half strikes from Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay. Pushing for their first ever win over the Poles in a competitive fixture, Hanley hauled down Nicola Zalewski to gift the visitors their second penalty of the game in the sixth minute of added time.

That Scotland didn't deserve to lose this game offered no real consolation in the end. The statistics now show that the national team have won just one of their last 13 games and find themselves in the midst of their longest winless run at home since 2008. The last victory of any description came in a friendly clash against Gibraltar.

Fans have lambasted defender Pawel Dawidowicz after he's theatrical fall to the floor in the Poland's Euro 2024 warm-up.

Yet, the talk across social media following the game was centred around Dawidowicz and his reaction to being tackled, that's being described as 'the worst dive ever'.

Roma, who lost in four out of their last five league outings, are eighth in the standings on 29 points. They are just one point behind seventh-placed Lazio and Atalanta in sixth place, and four adrift of Fiorentina, who finish in fifth place. When told not to do so, Mourinho turned yellow in stoppage time of the first half for protesting another decision taken by referee Gianluca Aurelio.

After a horrific tackle in Roma's feisty 1-1 draw with Fiorentina that saw Jose Mourinho refuse to speak to the media after the match, Romelu Lukaku was given a straight red card. Lukaku had led the scoring after five minutes with a precise diving header from close range, courtesy of Paulo Dybala's perfectly placed cross. Zalewski was given his second yellow card and was dismissed, but Fiorentina would equalize two minutes later as Lucas Martinez Quarta led in a cross in the 64th minute. Lukaku went for a sliding tackle on Fiorentina's Christian Kouame three minutes before time and was given a warning. With his dismissal, Mourinho's team was forced to end the game with only nine men, because the Belgium striker's follow-through ripped the sock of Kouame and forced his departure.

ALVISE CAGNAZZO: Jose Mourinho's Roma career looks to have come to an end

www.dailymail.co.uk, June 1, 2023
Jose Mourinho's season came to an end, long, difficult, and brutal one in which he fought the odds with his Roma squad. With only 14 outfield players to his disposal, the Portuguese coach maintained his ability to work with youth even under the most challenging of circumstances. Sevilla's Europa League final loss should be a wake-up call for the club.

Jose Mourinho's regular remark separates him from Roma's coterie and supporters. Roma's surprise Coppa Italia departure at the hands of Cremonese was a bitter blow to take for a coach who never emphasizes the club's transfer market or his squad's weaknesses if they lose. In critical situations, a leader should defend his team and accept all responsibility directly. His method of requesting more from his players is rare, but his desire to win goes beyond the boundaries of a charismatic boss.

Chances were few and far apart, but Lewandowski had a golden opportunity to put Poland in front three minutes before the hour's time when his side was given a spot-kick. Ochoa, who was competing at his fifth World Cup, was equal to Lewandowski's attempt to deny the Barcelona striker.
