Referee’s assistant pulls out gun to defend himself
IN a recent league match in Romania between Popesti Stefan and Unirea Dragalina (great names, both), the referee allowed a dubious goal to stand. The decision didn’t go down well with some of the home fans, who invaded the pitch to protest. They hassled the assistant ref (or linesman, as we like to think of them, still), who replied by pulling out a handgun!
Wow, Romania must have some nutty fans - and some even nuttier match officials.
The website of German newspaper Bild has some grainy footage of the shocking incident. Watch it here and hereunder
