It’s that time of year when matches start falling victim to the weather, but the football authorities in Lithuania decided that this pitch was playable. We’re not so sure.

Suduva and Banga met in a boggy marsh and you would have to think that the surface wasn’t really fit for purpose. If you don’t believe us, have a look at the clip for some of the aqua-highlights.

Just to warn you, the commentary is a little on the loud side.
