The next time you want to complain about the price of a pint at your local watering hole, remember that at least it didn't cost you an entire week's pay.

The British web site Click Lancashire is reporting that Scottish national and Burnley FC forward Steven Thompson has been fined a week's pay for imbibing alcohol during Burnley's exhibition game against the Portland Timers at PGE Park on July 25.

Big thanks go out to The Oregonian's Shawn Levy for spreading the news via his Twitter account. Be sure to follow Sean on the The Oregonian's World Soccer Blog as well as Mad About Movies.
