    British striker sacked by Singapore club for swearing

    SINGAPORE, June 13 (Reuters) -

    S-League striker Kim Grant has lodged a complaint with soccer's world governing body FIFA and the Singapore FA after being sacked by his club for swearing.

    The former Charlton Athletic front man was shown the door by Geylang United for indiscipline, local media reported.

    "Grant breached the rules when he used the language at the office in front of a few other players as well as other staff," Geylang general manager Ong Yeok Phee told Singapore's Today tabloid.

    "The vulgarity was targeted at the club... we felt it was unacceptable."
    Englishman Grant said he had lost his temper following a spat over his home leave entitlement.

    "I admitted it was an error and I apologised for it," said the 34-year-old. "It is part of my culture and I did not say it to anyone's face.

    "I looked down and exclaimed angrily. I did not think it would hurt anyone."

          Isn't chewing gum illegal in Singapore?

          It's like having a country run by my grandmother (who is no longer with us, before you ask).
          .
          Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



          May the Lord bless this post.

              It does sound like it's a lot more culturally acceptable here than it is there. I know what you mean though.

                swearing is pretty much part of British working class culture.
