While Croatia were busy stuffing Ireland 3-1 last night, a pitch invader encroached unto the Croat bench and laid a big ol’ smacker on coach Slaven Bilic…

Oo-er. It looked a tad uncomfortable at the time, awkward even – however, the photo used in the local press seems to reveal an altogether different story…

The first blushes of a new romance. It’s a beautiful, tender thing. Billy Joel should probably write a song about this.

    I won’t be the one to tell him he’s a bender.

    What was with the wall of silence about this by ITV last night? They refused to acknowledge it, even when it was clearly visible on screen. The commentator even seemed to go as far as to say the reason the crowd were cheering was because of Eduardo getting subbed on.

    It’s about 1:38:50 into here, when Eduardo gets subbed on: http://www.itv.com/itvplayer/video/?Filter=318738

    it’s a policy. they can not comment or show things like that because that would only encourage the pitch invaders

    @elektronik Thanks for clearing that up, I always wondered why commentators would awkwardly ignore things like this
