Fools that try to chase or shoo the dogs. Just get the Dentastix out and it'll follow you off the pitch.

Dog on the pitch

Originally posted by Sam View PostAh when I saw this thread had been revived I came here to post precisely that (it happened just last weekend). Slightly better video here (the dog makes her appearance at 2:20), including post-match interviews with the players specifically about the dog (San Lorenzo playmaker Leandro Romagnoli says they should send her on in every game to distract the opposition; they won 1-0 with a goal scored shortly after the pitch invasion), and a post-match interview with the dog in which she talks at least as much sense as most players do in front of the cameras (at 4:20ish).

good god, I thought that argentinian football was like logan's run, and they killed everyone over 23 who wasn't playing overseas. I have faint memories of romeo being one of those argentinian strikers who rose to prominence because being 5'10" made you their version of Niall Quinn. Would these guys have been contemporaries with aimar, saviola ortega and er, JUAN PABLO ANGEL!!!

Romeo is four years older, and retired in 2012.
Romagnoli made his debut for San Lorenzo in 1998, which would mean that he would have been in the Primera at the same time as all of those guys (though Ortega was in Europe for his debut).
And believe it or not, Saviola is the youngest of all of them, having been born nine months later than Romagnoli.

There's what we call a doughnut effect in Argentine, Berba; lots of young guys who've not yet been to Europe/Mexico, lots of older guys who've been and come back (either because they couldn't cut it or because they had decent careers and returned), and not so many in the middle age group between about 24 and 30. It's certainly a sausage factory when it comes to churning out young talent, but by no means are there a lack of more experienced players here as well.

The interesting thing about these dog on the pitch videos is that the dogs rarely seem scared. They almost always have a look like they are experiencing pure ecstasy.

Back when I played O35s, I took our (then) dog with me to watch one of our games when I was recovering from an injury. He was generally a very good dog and would come to me whenever I called, so I let him run around on the field adjoining the match. What I had forgotten was that if there were swallows flying low over the grass chasing flies, he would completely lose his shit, and chase them, barking wildly. He was a Belgian Shepherd, an incredibly fast runner and would almost catch the birds sometimes.
There were swallows. The swallows didn't stay on the adjoining field, and thus neither did Bob the dog. It took about five minutes for me to wrangle him back onto his lead, and suffice it to say I was not flavour of the month with my team or the opposition. Bob didn't attend another game.

Watch the ref desperate to regain some element of control come over in the last two seconds and tell the cops to get the dog off the pitch. I think that was their plan already.
