The 2012 Olympic Women’s Football
competition was disrupted yesterday when a controversial offside decision caused
North Koreas match against Columbia to be abandoned
Trouble flared when North Korean captain Song Dim Suu was
ruled offside by makeshift lines person and Columbian rush goalkeeper Renni
Valderez. Valderez was adamant that Dim Suu received the ball in an offside position
despite the Korean striker arguing otherwise. The argument carried on for
several minutes before Dim Suu decided to go home, taking her ball with her.
A pitch side source said he overheard Dim Suu shout “there
is no way that was offside. Right I’m going home. Give me my ball back”.
However the unrest continued for a further 10 minutes when Columbian captain
Heldi Montenegro refused to return the ball, arguing that “possession is 9
tenths of the law.”
A Columbian source said after the incident “She can keep her
ball, its rubbish anyway. I’ll bring my ball tomorrow and it’s an Adidas one
like the proper players use.”
This isn’t the first time Song Dim Suu has disrupted an
International fixture by taking her ball home. Only last month North Koreas
match against Spain was abandoned when the Dim Suu’s mother made her go in for
her tea only minutes after half time.
In other women’s Olympic football news Ghana’s match against
German ended 2-1 after a poor clearance saw the ball go into back garden of
number 47 Highland Road, who apparently they have a ‘massive dog.’
