Clucking mad Blackburn Rovers fans let loose a chicken on the pitch as their club was relegated from the Barclays Premier League with a 1-0 defeat to Wigan Monday night.
The hen, draped in the club's colors, was thrown onto the pitch at Ewood Park in an apparent protest aimed at the club's owners, Indian poultry processor Venky's, Sky News reported.
Wigan goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi and Rovers striker Yakubu quickly chased the bird down and captured her.
Protests against Venky's and manager Steve Kean rang around the ground throughout the game, as they have with regularity since the team narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship last season.
Some fans threw away their shirts while others invaded the pitch at the end of the match and angrily confronted Kean.
英超第37輪一場稍晚進(jìn)行的比賽,布萊克本隊在主場0比1負(fù)于維岡競技,成為了本賽季英超第二支降級的球隊。憤怒的布萊克本球迷們不會放過他們本就憎恨的主教練斯蒂文-基恩。在本場比賽的上半時,一只綁有布萊克本隊旗的母雞飛入了球場,當(dāng)值主裁判無奈中止了比賽,于是雙方球場上的22名球員暫時忘卻了足球,在綠茵場上玩兒起了“抓雞”的一幕,最終,還是亞洲門神阿爾哈布西在球網(wǎng)后面一個標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的撲救動作,將這只小雞“繩之以法”。
問我恨你有多深,母雞代表我的心……
