Son Of A Terrorist Whore

More on the "Twilight Zone" moment from the World Cup final when Zinedine Zidane headbutted Italy's Marco Materazzi and was sent off after the Italian shouted something at the French midfield genius.

The BBC are being circumspect about what is being talked about, saying only that the word "terrorist" was used and that Materazzi supposedly insulted Zidane's family. Oh, that middle-class English penchant for understatement and decorum...

Leave it to the Daily Record, Scotland's only homegrown tabloid rag, to get to the juicy stuff:

ZINEDINE Zidane's World Cup headbutt was sparked by vile insults about his mum, his religion and terrorism, it was claimed last night.

The furious French captain attacked Marco Materazzi during Sunday's final after the defender allegedly sneered: "All Muslims are terrorist b******s."

And sources claim the Italian even branded Zidane's Algerian mumMalika "a whore".

A French football insider added: "If you insult Zidane's mother, you're asking for trouble."

Materazzi denies the allegations.

If these allegations are true then...well, I would have given the Italian a "Glasgow Kiss" too.
