Non-league game between Hemel Hempstead and Stourbridge suspended because of DOG POO found on the pitch

THE FA Trophy clash between Hemel Hempstead and Stourbridge was halted to clear DOG POO from the pitch.

But this didn’t happen until 11 minutes of action had elapsed.

This is the tweet Stourbridge put out about the incident

The fans had a laugh over the incident on Twitter.

One wrote: “This is proper football, none of this ‘wait while we check VAR’ nonsense.”

Another used the incident to mock Man Utd captain, writing: “Maguire pitch invading?”

And Tom Long joked: “How very Sunday morning football!”

The game ended up going to penalties, Stourbridge triumphing 6-5 to head into the next round.

It was an upset for Stourbridge, the Southern League Premier Division Central team – who put one over on Hemel with just TEN MEN.

BETTING SPECIAL – GET MAN UTD AT 100/1 OR CHELSEA AT 30/1

Hemel sit in the National League South – 13 points behind league leaders Dartford.

But Stourbridge were too much for Hemel – despite the sending off of Lathaniel Rowe-Turner after 36 minutes.

There were two early goals – one for each team – before Rowe-Turner’s tackle saw red and sparked a scuffle between the two sides.

The scoreline remained 1-1 until the full-time whistle, when penalties decided the two teams’ fate.

This comes after a bizarre postponement in the EFL as the ROOF blows off at Tranmere before their clash with Stevenage.
