Ohhh, Direct Hit! Soccer Player Down!

It's never been rocket science to be a European soccer fan, until now. These people are now armed with the latest technology. Here is Linfield's Conor Hagan being hit in the back with a rocket, just after his team's 2-1 loss to Cliftonville in the County Antrim Shield soccer final at Windsor Park in Belfast. Hey Conor, when they're shooting missiles at you, it's OK to use your hands. More photos in jumpville.

The good news is that Hagan was treated by medics at the scene and is going to be OK. The bad news is that the incident sparked riots between Catholics and Protestants in Belfast. Which is odd, because those two groups are usually reluctant to cause a disturbance.
