What we have here is grizzly footage from before Sivasspor’s recent friendly with FK Rad Belgrade, in which the Turks kick off preceedings by getting a tarpaulin down on the touch line and slitting a live lambs throat (to a ripple of warm applause) before smearing the claret all over their boots…

As a heads up before you go wading in, it’s not overly graphic as the camera cuts away (no pun intended) at the ‘money shot’ as it were – but I’d steer clear if you happen to work for PETA, RSPCA etc…

Sivasspor went on to win 4-1 so, if Arsene’s watching, it looks like the old ‘pre-match lamb splicing’ thing may be worth a stab (pun intended).
