Owl delays Finland and Belgium game for six minutes

The Euro 2008 qualifier between Finland and Belgium was held up for six minutes… by an owl. The eagle owl swooped into the stadium 19 minutes into the match, landing on the pitch and goals. Premiership referee Mike Riley stopped the game until the owl retreated to a safety barrier behind the goal to keep a beady eye on proceedings.

    I thought Graham Poll was supposed to be refereeing this game – his last one ever?
