why the brits are funny

manchester united beat everton 2-0 and proceeded in the FA cup. but here's what's funny, quoted from soccernet.com:

"And, with United leading 2-0 in the 70th minute of the fifth round tie, Northern Ireland keeper Carroll was struck by a missile hurled out of the crowd behind his goal.

Carroll collapsed to the turf and it took a couple of minutes of treatment to get him back into action.

A coin and a mobile phone were retrieved from the pitch and handed to police by the fourth official.

A Football Association spokesman, responding to the Carroll incident, said: 'The FA will be liaising with the club and police to ascertain what happened and whether or not any individual can be identified.'"

how heavy could a coin be? this article made me wonder if the brits made their coins with lead. after all, a coin has got to be one helluva powerful coin if it were to strike down a massive soccer athlete like roy carroll.

oh, maybe it was the mobile phone that hit him. that'll explain why it hurts. sure, but for goodness sakes, it's a MOBILE PHONE. why do the police have to bother identifying an individual when they can simply ask the cellphone company about the owner of the sim card. or if that's supposed to be classified, they can use the cellphone to call one of the people in the address book and ask "hey, whose cellphone is this? i found it on the ground and i want to return it." i'm sure they'll cooperate.

what's that you said? they took out the sim card? oh well, then that's a problem, but that still doesn't refute my argument that the brits are either stupid or just not smart enough to think. WHO THE HELL WOULD TOSS A FREAKIN CELLPHONE? if i were angry i'd go find a rock, or a beer glass (surely the brits have got lots of those), or whatever the hell has less value than a cellphone. like the annoying drunk standing next to you in the stadium. or his annoying little kid who kept pointing at a player and asked "who's tha'?"

unless, of course, cellphones in england are as cheap as a stack of walmart printer paper. but then again, considering they charge 10pounds for a small ham sandwich, i doubt it.
