PAOK fans welcome the wrong signing while Frenkie Schinkels gives a referee a taste of his own medicine.
When PAOK's official website announced the signing of Inter Milan's Sweden international striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic fans could barely believe their eyes.
What a coup for the Greek outfit! How could they possibly land such a high-profile signing from under the noses of European giants?
The truth is they had not. They had in fact captured Atalanta's Bosnian forward Zlatan Muslimovic, who incidentally play in the same black and blue shirts as the Nerazzurri.
Although PAOK later spotted and corrected the obvious mistake their fans were somehow left out of the loop. Instead they turned out in force to welcome their new hero.
It just happened to be the wrong hero. I just hope they were not too down at greeting Muslimovic at the airport instead of world class striker Ibrahimovic.
Practice, practice, practice
They say practice makes perfect, but for Bolton's Gretar Steinsson that rule somehow does not apply.
One would think that following his sensational strike against Stoke in Bolton's season opener the roaming Icelandic right-back works hard on the training ground perfecting his technique.
However, rather than take the plaudits for his 30-yard thunderbolt, he opted for a much more modest opinion on his contender for Goal of the Season.
"I could say that I practised it every day for half an hour, but just an idiot would shoot from there!" remarked the former AZ Alkmaar defender.
Red card
Finally, Austria Carinthie manager Frenkie Schinkels came prepared for his team's Austrian first division match against SK Rapid.
The game was not going very well for Schinkels when he was ordered to the stands for giving the referee and fourth official a tongue lashing
However, Schinkels upped the ante even further when he outright refused to leave the coaching area.
Referee Louis Hofmann wanted him firmly out of the picture, but after asking him nicely, the prepared Schinkels produced a red card of his own for the official's performance.
"I do less harm with it than when I open my mouth," he said of the red card, which he carried with him on the advice of his dad.
Schinkels' unusual protest landed him with a €300 fine. Least he wins some sympathy for being original right?
