    (via They think it’s all over … it is meow, as cat invades Anfield pitch | Football | guardian.co.uk) It says much for the insipid nature of the football at Anfield on Monday night that one of the highlights of the evening was the feline pitch invasion that briefly delayed the game after 12 minutes. The intrepid tabby is far from the first animal interlocutor to have stopped a game in full flow. An Old Firm game in November 1996 was halted by a fox in the box, who made quick his or her escape. In November 1970 the Brentford goalkeeper Chic Brodie had his career ended after a dog on the pitch ran into him, shattering his kneecap. “The dog might have been a small one, but it just happened to be a solid one,” Brodie later reflected.
