Kickette Catch Up: Your Holiday Weekend Gossip Cheat Sheet

Stephen Ireland wouldn’t dare forget to bring his snakeskin pants to Ronaldinho’s next pyjama party…would he?
If you think this is good, just wait.
It gets better.
Saturday
- We offered our steamiest congrats to Barcelona’s Victor Valdes, who received the Catalan Athlete of the year award.
- Alessandro Del Piero dressed as St Nick to spread some holiday cheer around town in Turin. He stayed far away from German club St Pauli whilst in costume.
- Football Federation Australia (FFA) faced some sirius legal action from Jason Culina, and the Professional Footballers Association after a claim of about $1.7 million was filed against the organisation for allegedly failing to ensure the injured Socceroo was covered by insurance.
- To answer Caught Offside‘s question, it’s 60 – 90 seconds.
Sunday/Mondayish
- Bolton’s Christmas party was a dud.
- When Fatbooth & a photo of Benny Feilhaber collide.
- Fauxhawk fanatic and Nike underwear model, Neymar, says it’s difficult to find a sincere woman as a footballer. Shocker.

hey those arent Stephen Ireland's legs and thighs lol they are someone else's if you look carefully you can tell they are upside down and you can see a zebra stripped sock on his left hip,,,,,
I haven't even finished reading this, I just really needed to say that whatever is going on with Stephen Ireland is spectacularly awful.
Ireland is so unattractive. He looks like a condom.
If you guys were smart you would notice that Stephen isn’t wearing the pants. Whoever is taking the pic is the one in the snake skin leggings.
John won't be happy seeing that,Lampsy!
LOL forgive my inner slashshipper
I thought they were his legs.
[...] ALESSANDRO CLAUS! Alessandro Del Piero, dressed as Santa and spreading Christmas cheer. Fantastico. // Calcio Nel Cuore by way of Kickette [...]
Omg St Pauli is awesome!!
I'm gonna just stick to the really good stuff ~ that ADP TV segment just rocked my world, oh yum. Thank you!!
Hey, Kickette. You forgot Aaron Ramsey's birthday!
This was the most important part of the weekend/Monday for sure. How could they forget this?!?!!?
OK, the pants are in WTF category and that award that Valdes is holding (congrats BTW) kinda looks like a nose of a rhino!
What the heck?! Thanks Kickette for making me literally (Richard) sick. Ugh, that picture of Stephen Ireland is horrendous!
Exactly! It's really awful!
Those trousers aaagghh sweet Jesus my eyes are still hurting!! What is wrong with guy why oh why wwould he ever think they looked good.
seeing as it was nando's arse franky was carressing, i'd say 60 to 90 seconds sounds about right!
Was just gonna say, "can we really blame Frank?" I mean, I'd find it quite hard to remove my hand once planted, so hats off to him!
