What would you do if you urgently needed to go to the loo in the middle of a game (and your name isn't Gary Lineker)?

In most cases, especially during Sunday league matches, the easiest thing to do is just to call for a break and run towards the fitting rooms, or, alternatively, to hold off your urges until the final whistle.

For those who could not bear playing 45 minutes in such conditions, however, midfielder Giovanni Liberti, who plays in fourth tier team Turrris, might just have the solution. This young and certainly eccentric player from Torre del Greco, Italy, has been inflicted a five-game ban because, in absence of a loo nearby, he allegedly urinated on the pitch (via ESPN).
