St. Pauli have been ordered to play their next Bundesliga home match without any supporters in the stands because an impressively accurate fan got their match against Schalke abandoned after cracking a linesman in the back of the neck with a full cup of beer. And while most fans might be upset by that punishment, those scamps at St. Pauli responded with a bit of humor when they made the trip to Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday.

As their team lost 2-1, St. Pauli fans displayed a banner referring to themselves as hooligans (with two beer glasses instead of O's, naturally) above the phrase "Shut up and drink -- Beer in the neck."

In defense of the linesman, it is hard to drink a beer that just exploded after smashing into the back of your neck, though.
