Sportsjoe - It looks like football journalists in Iran are going to have to start wearing cups to press conferences.

A fairly mental clip from Iran has been doing the rounds on social media featuring the chairman of Iranian league giants Esteghlal scoring a nasty cheap shot on a reporter.

Chairman Bahram Afsharzade is shown answering questions from a curious reporter outside a building, and then, without warning, lands an extremely low blow on the poor man.

The journo winces and keels over in agony as the very angry chairman walks off shot.

Well, that's one way to end an interview anyway.
