Burst Baw: It's a funny old game... our top 10 moments of the season

10. THE SKY SPORTS SEXISM ROW

Granted, sexism itself isn't funny, but it was amusing to watch two highly-paid, clich-spouting pundits put their foot in it in spectacular style. First there were Gray and Keys' recorded comments dismissing the notion of a female linesman, then we were treated to some behind-the-scenes in-studio 'banter' about "smashing it" and tucking microphones into trousers. Charming. Respect to Kenny Dalglish for taking the opportunity to turn the tables on a Sky journalist at the time.

9. DIOUF'S MAN BAG

Footballers are renowned for their ill-advised forays into fashion, and this season was no different, with the arrival of the designer man bag in the dressing room. Several Old Firm stars got in on the act, but it was wind-up merchant extraordinaire, Rangers' on-loan striker El-Hadji Diouf, who pulled off the look with the most, ahem, style.

8. NEYMAR'S MASKED BALL

Call it karma if you like, but just weeks after wrongly accusing the Tartan Army in the banana-gate racism row, Brazilian hotshot Neymar got himself sent off in the most ridiculous manner imaginable. After scoring an admittedly brilliant goal, the Santos teenager procured a cardboard mask of his own face from the crowd and donned it in celebration. The ref didn't see the funny side, however, and gave him his second yellow card.

7. GATTUSO V JORDAN

In which terrier-like AC Milan midfielder picks the wrong target for a touchline spat. Former Rangers star Gennaro Gattuso went for Scotland legend and Spurs assistant Joe Jordan, appearing to land a headbutt in the touchline fracas at the San Siro. Graeme Souness probably summed it up best when he said: "Gattuso's a dog. I just wish now he could have ten minutes in a room alone with Joe Jordan. Actually, it wouldn't take that long, make it five minutes."

6. SPL STRUCTURE

Two words guaranteed to make any Scottish football fan laugh cynically this season were 'SPL' and 'structure'. The ongoing debate about how many teams should make up the top flight has been rumbling on for months, with closed-door meetings, cloak and dagger press briefings and little consideration for the fans' wishes. Bored of the options on the table? Check out Burst Baw's bold vision for Scottish football.

5. QATAR

People may deride Qatar as a host for the World Cup in 2022 because of its formidable summer heat, its stringent anti-alcohol stance, the fact that nine of the 12 stadiums required do not yet exist, a lack of hotel rooms and allegations that it paid off Fifa delegates. But surely all this can be put to one side when we consider their promise of a giant floating cloud.

4. COPA DEL DROPA

You could almost excuse Sergio Ramos for dropping the Copa Del Rey he won with Real Madrid this season under the wheels of the open-top party bus which then ploughed over the "King's Cup" for 200 yards. He is, after all, a footballer, not a cricket fielder. But when it's your goalkeeper dropping trophies, as in Ajax's case, then you know you've got problems.

3. SAMMY THE TAMMY

There's not enough football mascot mayhem anymore we say, so it's good to see Dunfermline FC's Sammy the Tammy keeping up the American-style pre-match clowning. But pointing a cardboard tank at your local rivals and playing machine gun sound effects through the PA system probably wasn't the wisest decision, even for a man in an animal costume. Even funnier, however, was the tabloids' attempt to stir it up into some kind of moral outrage.

2. WALTER SMITH - LEGNED

Need we say more. No, not really.

1. BIBOTELLI

Before he came good towards the end of the season, Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli had been the subject of many a Burst Baw jibe. But it was this glorious clip of him being defeated in his battle with a training bib that tiptoed the line between the sublime and ridiculous and wins him our football comedy moment of the season. Even better, he went and got sent off in the subsequent game. Mario, don't ever grow up.
