I'm sure you'll eventually get to see this at sometime in your life but the hand ball last night in the Matildas game was THE weirdest thing I have ever seen in a football match. I dont know how to insert the video, but if you go to the smh site, you'll be able to view it.

Speaking of odd things during football games... what's the oddest thing you've seen happen on the pitch?

So glad this has not had a material effect on the Norway match ... but what an error...

Oddest thing I can recall ... was playing at Smithfield on day and there had been weeks of rain ... anyway we started to watch the game after ours ... when suddenly all the players around the ball stopped playing and were pointing at the ground...

A dumped car from years before came raising out of the ground... stopped when about one third visible...

You`re showing your age now Midfielder....
I remember hearing that story in the late 70`s early 80`s.It was not long after Smithfield RSL moved from Smithfield Park onto the Brennan road complex.
It used to be the old tip..
Who did you play for?

I`n the days when I was president of Eschol Park SC, I was on the sideline talking to some of the parents. The kids had been warming up for there game u/10s & there were about 6 of us chatting when one of the ladies yelled "look out"!.
We all turned to see what was going on.
One of the kids had kicked the ball high into the air & it was heading straight for us but was obviously going to drop short .
One of the dad`s(Nev) took off towards the ball & as it came down he lept high into the air (read about 6inches) & headed the ball brilliantly.

It was a shame that the kids had already kicked off & Nev was now standing 15m into the field of play!!!

The ref awarded a drop ball,Nev was red faced for a week & we`ve been giving it to him for 15years....lol
