The Intertoto Cup is a nice excuse for a War on the Football Field

Normally the Intertoto Cup is played in obscurity in places like Moldova, Macedonia and Lithuania. The UEFA Cup qualifying tournament made the news this weekend thanks to a group of fans from the Polish club Legia Warsaw who figured that halftime of a game against the Lithuanian club Vetra Vilinius would be a good time to kick off Armageddon. Vetra press officer Tautvydas Vencevicius said: “It was war - war on the football field. Of the 2,500 Legia fans, about 500 were not interested in football at all, just fighting. We have never had anything like this before. Our fans are well behaved.”

That Euro 2012 tournament in Poland should be a fun one, eh?

  Man, the one weekend I decide to phone one in and take a trip instead of obsessively reading every report from every Intertoto match, and there’s freaking riot police. That’ll show me.

  Gives Rovers an easier game in the next round at least, silly, silly Poles. And to think, there’s bluddy thousands of em in England now!
