REAL BETIS COACH PEPE MEL | THE BIRD IS THE WORD

Spanish League - Liga - kicked off with Round 31 yesterday night in the most intense way it could, with a city of Sevilla derby between its two Football Clubs that divides the city : Real Betis ( traditionally working class ) & Sevilla FC ( the well doers ).

The match did not let anyone down & was up to expectations with intensity & a near Sporting pitch battle that included controversial decisions , a red card & 6 goals. The final result was a 3 - 3 draw with Real Betis making a heroic comeback from being 0 - 3 down. Epic stuff.

THE BIRD

The front pages of Spanish Sports dailys today is Real Betis Coach Pepe Mel giving Sevilla FC the "THE BIRD" ( The Finger ) after Betis player Nosa ( also gave his Bird to the crowd ) scored the third goal in the 89th min to equalize. Pepe Mel is 99% of the time an example of education.

This is not exemplary behaviour at all. However, it highlights the intensity that is lived in this derby with withheld emotions that explode - being human - uncontrollably after being hammered by your Sporting rivals ( fans ) weeks before in a city where 50% is "the other team".

To Pepe Mel we dedicate this song  & the TV series "Family Guy" piece...canny the likeness with the Betis Coach :O)
