Soccer mom berserk

News from Norway

A furious mother charged onto the field during a girl's soccer game in northern Norway last weekend.

A 13-year-old girl from Bardufoss was physically attacked by the enraged woman during a football tournament.

Not content with shouting insults at the opposing team from Bardufoss, the woman stormed onto the pitch.

"A
female parent from the visiting team came running onto the pitch and
attacked a 13-year-old. She pushed the 13-year-old onto the ground, so
the girl was lying on her back," Tor Eriksen of the Bardufoss regional
sports association (BOIF) told NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting).

The BOIF girls were called a range of nasty names, and were also told to "get their ugly asses off the field", NRK reports.

The
excitable mother from Tromsø was not content with insults and flinging
a girl to the ground, she then took a stranglehold on the referee and
had to be restrained by BOIF leaders.

"The referee was completely "shaky", and the players were crying," Eriksen said.

The Tromsø team leader would not comment on the matter, which has been reported to regional football authorities.
