Critics lash out at football’s ‘fishcake mob’

Quick Summary:

Norwegian football fans who protested video assisted refereeing (VAR) at a top-league match during the weekend (by hurling tennis balls and fishcakes onto the field) got lots of international publicity, but little sympathy at home.

They were roundly being blamed for spoiling the match between Rosenborg and Lillestrøm, and leaving children in tears.
