The Curious Case of Wayne Shaw and the Meat and Potato Pie

This is not normally the news I aspire to comment on , but the story itself is so absurd it needed to be discussed.

For those that live under a rock, Wayne Shaw was the substitute goalkeeper/coach/goalpost inspector/"roly-poly-goalie" for Sutton Utd, a National Football league side. In the 83rd minute of Suttons' 5th round FA cup match with Arsenal, he began to eat a pie on the substitutes bench. The stunt was seen as hilarious by viewers across the country, but not so easily amused were the FA or the Gambling Commission.
