Crowd Trouble Halts Final In Semarang
With no league at the moment and an ongoing dispute between the government and the PSSI there is little in the way of football going on Indonesia. Except that is the Central Java Police District Cup.
Despite the heady title it has not been short of controversy with players attacking match officials when they perceive things don't go their way.
Anyway the competition has reached the final with Persis and PSIS going toe to toe in a home and away two legged affair.
The first leg was played on Saturday in Semarang, home of PSIS and finished, um, in a riot. The second leg is due to be played next weekend in Solo...but under what conditions is not clear.
As can be seen in the video crowd control seems to consist of a few guys casually waving their arms in the air.
