    Anyone on this BBS tried to help the rockets in this fashion before? Is that why Houston got Yao and TMac? Makes one wonder sometimes.

    Fans burn mog, roast rooster to save team

    2 hours, 28 minutes ago


    BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Fans of a local Romanian football team have staged a cat's funeral and burned a rooster on an arena pitch to help their heros beat off opponents. The kooky followers of Romania's Arges Pitesti conducted their secret ceremony late at night in a bid to conjure good luck before Friday's match against rival team Farul Constanta, according to local media.



    "Seven Arges Pitesti fans buried a dead cat behind a stadium stand and burned a **** just in the middle of the field after they were sure that the arena was cursed," Pro Sport daily reported.


    Arges Pitesti have lost seven home games so far this season and lie 12nd in a 16-team table. The last three teams are set for relegation. The paper reported that fans had tied red strings to goal posts and were hoping that players would perform special gestures during the match that would complete their magic ritual. The fans also had a final special request for the football players.


    "We'll ask our players to wear their underwear inside out for the match against Farul Constanta," one fan said. Romania is a superstitious country, and Romanian players have yet to sniff at their fan's unconventional methods of helping them. Romanian players, coaches and club owners have always used witchcraft to court success on the pitch, and last year, Juventus Torino player Adrian Mutu even claimed that fans' witchcraft rituals protected him from an ex-girlfriend's curses.


    Other players put basil in their boots the night before a match, and the national team's bus never reverses when players are aboard.


    Last year, a female photographer was booted out of a plane taking the national team to a match abroad, because according to a Romanian superstition, a woman aboard a plane or in a bus can destroy a team's luck.

    Some players even ask Witch-doctors if they should play certain games.

    Dead p***y cat and a burned ****, seems kinda over board.
