ISIS EXECUTES 3 GAY MEN BY DROPPING THEM FROM THE TOP OF 100FT BUILDING. (PICTURES)

Depraved militants fighting for the Islamic State in Iraq have brutally murdered three gay men by throwing them from the top of a high building in front of a huge crowd of bloodthirsty onlookers.

Disturbing photographs of the atrocity - believed to have been taken place in ISIS' stronghold Mosul - shows one man being dangled over the edge of the building by his ankles before being dropped.

In the event the horrifically injured men are not killed upon impact with the ground, the baying crowd are encouraged to surge forward and stone them to death with a mass of rocks helpfully provided by the ISIS savages who organise the terror group's sickening public executions.

In a sequence of images, some of which are far too brutal to publish, the jihadis are seen with the men on the roof of the building before dropping them to their deaths.

BLAME THE WET BALL FOR MY MISTAKES - FLYING EAGLES GOALKEEPER ENAHOLO SPEAKS.

Flying Eagles goalkeeper, Joshua Enaholo, has blamed the wet ball for the blunder he committed in his team’s 4-2 defeat to Brazil on Monday at the 2015 U-20 World Cup in New Zealand.

The Flying Eagles’ first choice conceded four goals against the rampaging Brazilians in their Group E opener in New Plymouth.

Enaholo failed to deal properly with a harmless ball from the Brazilians in the 82nd minute but he allowed the ball to squirm through his legs, thus handing Judivan an easy fourth goal for the five-time champions, which put the game beyond the Flying Eagles.

He told Fifa.com that the ball was wet and hence slipped through his fingers adding that he would work harder to avoid a repeat of such mistake in the team’s subsequent matches.

“My mind was off. The ball was wet and I just couldn’t get my grip properly. I must do better,” he said.

Meanwhile, Brazilian coach, Rogerio Micale, said the team’s wing play enabled them to beat Nigeria on Monday. He told Fifa.com that Nigeria lived up to expectations.

He stated, “We had expected to face a really good side in Nigeria and we weren’t mistaken on that front. We started very well, but then the opposition gradually got on top and prevented us from playing our game.

“We shored things up in the middle of the park again in the second half and then looked to exploit the wings, which paid dividends.”

The Flying Eagles play North Korea, who lost 5-1 to Hungary in their opening game, on Thursday in New Plymouth.
