CHISINAU, Moldova Nov 15, 2004 — The chairman of a Moldovan soccer team became so incensed when a penalty kick was awarded to the opponent that he drove his car onto the field and tried to run over the referee.

No one was hurt, and the game was called off.

During Saturday's first division game in Floreni between Roso Floreni and Politehnica Chisinau, referee Vitalie Onica gave Politehnica a penalty kick with the score 1-1.

After Politehnica made the kick, Roso chairman Mihai Macovei drove onto the field and attempted to run over the referee several times. Onica dodged the car each time.

Macovei left the field and was stopped by police officers when he tried to return, Politehnica coach Ion Caras. Macovei has made no comment.

The Moldovan soccer federation on Monday fined Macovei about $1,900, and an investigation is under way.

I have a similar story. This happened in the amateur Glasgow leagues a few years back.

A guy got sent off so instead of going for a shower or sitting in the dressing room with his head in his hands, he went to his bag, and pulled out a knife. He then proceeded to 'hijack' an ice cream van which was parked near the pitch and drove on to the field and attempted to knock down the referee and opposition players before crashing into a ditch. The Scottish Football Association gave him a lifetime ban. I assume the police wanted a word with him too.

Fucking ace!

Damn! David Ortiz is a pussy compared to that guy....
