Mechanized Pitch Invasion

Fans have many ways of showing their anger over bad refereeing - screaming, throwing things, rioting, etc. But trying to run-over the ref while he's still on the field is a new one on me. To be fair, it wasn't a fan of Moldovan soccer club Roso Floreni who drove onto the pitch in pursuit of the offending ref, it was the team's chairman. After a controversial penalty was called against his team in the late stages of a 1-1 match, the chairman got in his car, drove onto the pitch, and chased the ref who, to his credit, managed to dodge the mechanical onslaught. Either he's the fittest ref in football or the chairman is the worst driver in Moldova.
