Figo will be suspended for at least one game, probably more. If you remember 2 years ago in euro 2004 Italy's Totti was caught by the camera spitting on a danish opponent. No one saw this in regulation time as it was well behind the play, but fifa studied the tapes and discovered this incident. He was suspended for 3 games. Im thinking a head butt is worse than that.

I think that most of them wear puke coloured uniforms on St. patrick's day.  Alcoholic white trash tends to have that problem on drinking days.

It's not stated. In any case, a player's religion is their business, not yours. What does it matter?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nCommon Traditions\nEveryone wears the color green to honor Ireland. Ireland's nickname is "The Emerald Isle" because the grass on the hills is so green. \nIf someone doesn't where green, everyone else is allowed to pinch him. Some people say that if you pinch someone who is wearing green, that person gets to pinch you back ten times. \nDecorations often include shamrocks to honor St. Patrick. He is supposed to have used the shamrock to explain religion to the Irish people. \nLeprechauns are also common decorations. It is said that these little magical men hide their gold in pots at the end of the rainbow. \nThere are always big parades in Chicago and New York. \nThe city of Chicago dyes their river green

It isn't offensive to wear orange and green together, in Ireland we dont do the whole wearing green on Paddy's day that America seems to do. Im catholic and living in Dublin but I would not find it offensive if i saw someone wearing orange/green or both together. Its true about the green on the flag standing for the Republic and the Orange standing for the North of Ireland, but Ireland these days has mostly gotten over the divison now. Wear both colours on Paddy's day if you want. \nAnd don't worry, you are offending no-one. Personally though - orange and green together just do not look good.

As long as he stands with his feet behind the ockey line he is legal,I don't think there are any rules that would disallow his play as long as the dart left his fingers before hitting the board it would be a foul otherwise.

I don't think it was ever really illegal to begin with.\n\nMaybe you're wondering when boxing became a sanctioned sport? Earliest evidence suggests that boxing was prevalent in North Africa during 4000 BC and the Mediterranean in 1500 BC. \n\nRecords of boxing activity disappeared after the fall of the Roman Empire. The sport would later resurface in English during the early 18th century in the form of bare-knuckle prizefighting. The first documented account of a bare-knuckle fight in England appeared in 1681 in the "London Protestant Mercury," and the first English bare-knuckle champion was James Figg in 1719. This is also the time when the word "boxing" first came to be used.\n\nThe first boxing rules were introduced by heavyweight champion Jack Broughton in 1743 to protect fighters in the ring where deaths sometimes occurred. Under these rules, if a man went down and could not continue after a count of 30 seconds, the fight was over. Hitting a downed fighter and grasping below the waist were prohibited. Broughton also invented "mufflers" (padded gloves), which were used in training and exhibitions.\n\nIn 1867, the Marquess of Queensberry rules were drafted by John Chambers for amateur championships held at Lillie Bridge in London for Lightweights, Middleweights and Heavyweights. The rules were published under the patronage of the Marquess of Queensberry, whose name has always been associated with them.
