FOOTBALLERS UNDER PROBE FOR 'PORN SYMBOL' GOAL CELEBRATIONS.


The Football Association is to probe a popular goal celebration amid claims it's promoting a blog that features 'degrading' porn videos, according to the mirror sport.

Swansea City' Sam Clucas was the latest star to put his fingers to his eye in a 'spying' celebration following his two goals in their 3-1 win over Arsenal on Tuesday night.

The gesture is said to be mimicking the symbol of the Simply LoveLeh Brotherhood, a blog which has 50k Twitter followers and 10k Facebook likes.

The same gesture was made by Southampton's Charlie Austin, 28, and teammate Jack Stevens, 24, in December.

The adults-only SLB videos feature hardcore porn clips with a humorous Yorkshire narrator and are preceded by an owl making the 'spying' gesture.

The website is said to have been set up by two men from the Merseyside area and the clips have gained a cult following on social media and WhatsApp.

Nuneaton Town's Ashley Chambers, 27, has also been photographed performing the sign as has the boxer Kell Brook.

Maria Caulfield MP, the Tory vice-chairman for women, said performing the gesture on the field "fuels the increasing image that male footballers have little respect for women".

Swansea City have said they will speak to Clucas 'to establish the full facts' behind his celebration and told WalesOnline the player has apologised for any offence caused.

The clubs says Clucas was not 'fully aware' of the group's 'pornographic sections'.
"As a club we were unaware of any links to the Internet group in question and disappointed to learn of the association as it does not reflect the values of Swansea City nor our strong commitment to equality," said a Swansea City spokesman.

“We wholeheartedly condemn the degradation of women and believe everyone’s rights, dignity and individual worth is to be respected.
“Having spoken to Sam, he was not fully aware of the pornographic sections of this Internet group and at no time intended to cause offence which he apologises for.

“The club will speak to Sam again internally to establish the full facts, while also taking the opportunity to remind everyone of their responsibilities.”

HARRY KANE IS BY FAR BETTER THAN LUKAKU; SAYS UNITED'S LEGEND.


Rio Ferdinand slammed the performance of Romelu Lukaku in the aftermath of Manchester United‘s 2-0 defeat to Tottenham.

United's Legend - Ferdinand, however hailed the super qualities of Spurs' superstar, Harry Kane; tagging him 'a real No 9'.

Manchester United were stunned at Wembley after Christian Eriksen's 11th second opener.

Phil Jones summed up United’s atrocious defending by scoring a comical own goal in the 28th minute but it was Lukaku’s display which most concerned Ferdinand following the match.

The Belgian has 11 league goals to his name this season, but was largely anonymous at Wembley on the night. Meanwhile, Tottenham centre-forward Harry Kane put on a masterclass in front of his home fans. He didn't score, but he already has 21 league goals this season, and former Reds defender was clear on his assessment.

Asked about Kane’s performance at Wembley, BT Sport pundit Ferdinand said: ‘I think Harry Kane showed why he’s the best striker in the league and one of the most potent in Europe, because he bullied Manchester United’s two centre-halves.’

‘He dominated them physically, winning the ball, bringing other people into play.’

"The contrast between him and Lukaku was so evident. That's a real No.9."

He added: ‘The contrast between him and Lukaku was so evident, it was unbelievable.

‘The ball going into him, sticking, holding centre-halves off, bringing others into the game.

‘That’s a real number nine, that’s how you want to see a number nine play.’

Former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp added: "There's no comparison. He's on a different level to Lukaku."
