Most football fans who enjoy the odd tipple are
painfully aware that drinking alcohol in sight of the playing
surface has been banned from the beautiful game since
1985.
Obviously under the impression that the laws of the land do not
apply to millionaires, Newcastle owner Mike Ashley was caught
red-handed by Setanta cameras downing a pint of the good stuff in
the stands at the Emirates on Saturday evening.
According to red-faced Newcastle officials, Ashley was “offered
a drink which he thought was non-alcoholic so he took it in good
faith.” However, an Arsenal representative has responded saying
non-alcoholic beer is not sold at the Emirates, and they are
launching an internal investigation into how he managed to smuggle
the plastic pint into the stands.
i saw it too!
