Violence at a Soccer Game?

A soccer game was halted in Spain Wednesday because of – gasp – violence. Sevilla head coach Juande Ramos was knocked unconscious by a bottle thrown from the stands. Sevilla had just pulled ahead in the 59th minute of a match against rival Betis when a drunk fan threw a plastic half-liter bottle half filled with soda and ice. Ramos was unconscious for about 10 minutes before he was carried off on a stretcher. He told reporters at the hospital “Betis fans aren’t represented by the lunatic who threw the bottle.” Of course they're not. They’re represented by the group that threw stones at the ambulance entering the stadium to tak Ramos to the hospital. And by the group who doused Sevilla’s locker room in bleach before the match.

There's video of the hit out on youtube, but i can't be arsed to post it at work. You can see it at With Leather.
