Dinamo Bucuresti Fans Invade Pitch, Force Europa League Match Against Slovan Liberec To Be Abandoned: Video

Slovan Liberec visited Dinamo Bucuresti today and shocked the home crowd by scoring twice. Following Jan Blazek’s goal in the waning minutes, all hell broke lose in the stadium.

First, one fan ran around on the field. This happens all the time of course, but the lone security guard charged with chasing the man failed to apprehend him for an extended period of time, thus requiring help, which then allowed a mass of fans to begin to tear down the perimeter fences and enter the playing area.

At this point, the referee realized that since there were only 2 minutes left in the match, he should just end things and get the hell out of the stadium before he and Slovan Liberec were murdered by Dinamo fans. That was probably a good move. That guy in the referee shirt looked like he meant business.

Cat Wanders On The Pitch During UEFA Cup Final Between Shakhtar Donetsk and Werder Bremen: Video

A couple of weeks back, we brought you the mouse who had invaded the pitch at a Manchester United match. Moving up the food chain, here’s a cat who decided to hang out on the field during the UEFA Cup Final between Shakhtar Donetsk and Werder Bremen in Istanbul, Turkey.

This is reminiscent of another incident in Turkey from last year when a stray dog wandered on to a racetrack and was hit by one of the cars. It seems like there’s a huge opportunity for the Turkish Bob Barker to get these pets spayed and neutered.

Hamburg Defeated By Ball Of Paper In UEFA Cup: Video

Soccer fans are notorious for throwing things on the field during play, usually without repercussion. Every now and then though, the object will interfere with proceedings.

Someone threw a ball of paper on to the pitch during this week’s UEFA Cup semifinal match between Hamburg SV and Werder Bremen. What are the odds that it a small ball of paper would impact play?

As it turned out, pretty good. Hamburg defender Michael Gravgaard tried to clear a ball out, but it skipped over the paper and went out for a corner kick.

In case you can’t see where this is going, Werder Bremen then scored off of that corner and went on to book their spot in the UEFA Cup final.

That reporter should put that ball of paper on eBay since some Werder Bremen fan would probably pay a lot for that piece of history.

During the UEFA Cup match between Galatasaray and Bordeaux, Scottish referee Craig Thomson forgot which football was being played, and also that he wasn’t playing. Brazilian midfielder Lincoln doesn’t keep his head up, and Thomson makes him pay the price for going over the middle.

Many pro sports have kids along the sidelines helping out, collecting stray equipment and making sure that a ball is ready to be put into play whenever it is needed. Usually these kids are very polite, acting neutral toward both teams. Key word: usually.

Just guess which team this cheeky little rapscallion is cheering for in this clip from a UEFA Cup match between Spurs (in white) and Famagusta (in blue).
