A referee at an underage match was accosted by an adult supporting the home team who called him a "fucking dog" for awarding a penalty to the away team.
The match took place at St Mary’s soccer club in Kilcully, Co Cork, and at the height of the incident the man, who ran onto the pitch, said he was going to say a prayer at the nearby cemetery and that the ref should join him.
