Most weekends during the 2004 / 2005, the Nottingham Forest team refused to play football. Only problem was, they stayed on the pitch |

Zimbabwe: Soccer Team Ousted for Refusing to Play on Saturdays
Known all over Zimbabwe and much of Africa for stopping rival teams from scoring, the Amazulu football (soccer) team have themselves been stopped in their tracks. The team's equally well-known policy of not playing on Saturdays -- the Bible Sabbath for team owner Delma Lupepe -- last Friday led to the team's ouster from Zimbabwe's Premier Soccer League (PSL).
As a Seventh-day Adventist, Lupepe observes Saturday as the Sabbath, a day he spends in worship and fellowship, avoiding "common" work, as the Bible commands.
But a PSL disciplinary committee has ruled that the team be suspended indefinitely from the league for a stance that has been part of Amazulu policy for 10 years.
"We will not play on the Sabbath because it is contrary to the will of God," Lupepe told ANN in a phone interview Nov. 7. "We can't change our position or compromise because we believe the Bible is valid and we believe in the Ten Commandments. We are prepared to leave the league permanently if necessary."

Matches get abandoned all the time in Argentina, was only last week in a game when police threw tear gas everywhere, and including the pitch in the 15th minute because of a mass riot in the stands....

Remember a massive rivalry in Brazil, when Tevez scored for Corinthians and it got disallowed because he 'fouled' someone in the build up, it was a woman lineswoman and the players rushed over to her, abandoned the game for 10-20 mins for her safety, then later in the game a fan came on the pitch with a knife, had to stop the game again!
