After first hearing about this amazing incident on the BBC Paper Gossip page, we at TTIAO felt intrigued to find out more. And above is the fruits of our labour. Oh yes, please do not adjust your screens. In the above clip you can see Brazilian Cabofriense defender Cleberson, kissing the referee after conceding a foul on the edge of his own box.
A short, sharp peck was a bit too much for referee Ubiraci Damasio, who at first seemed to revel in the close attention he was recieving from the player. After being shown the yellow card (under what ruling we're not too sure), Cleberson looked dismayed, and after the game claimed: "I did not know it was against the rules."
We dread to think what happens when a team-mate actually scores, let alone what goes on in the showers after the game. Maybe this is why Brazil win so many World Cups - perhaps treating referees with affection is the way to go for the England players come 2010. If so, there may just be a role for Beckham after all.
