Introducing the WORST groundmen in the world
Quang Minh Ha and Nick Duy Do were asked to mark the pitch just 30 minutes before a seventh-tier Norwegian game last week... but they had no idea what they were doing

Two amateur groundsmen could be in for a long wait for another job after less-than-impressive work in the seventh tier of Norwegian football.
Quang Minh Ha and Nick Duy Do were asked to mark the pitch just 30 minutes before Julebygda took on Riska 3 last Wednesday and, to be frank, they had absolutely no idea what they were doing.
"It's probably the first and last time we get this job," Quang told TV2. "It got a little lopsided."

According to reports, one penalty spot was 13 metres from goal while, up the other end, the other was positioned a mere eight metres from goal. Marvel at the attempts to cross out erroneous lines as well.
But, despite all of the above, this is Extra Time's favourite quote from the hapless pair: "We did not have time to paint a center circle before the match began."
For those interested, Riska 3 won the game 3-1 with the final goal coming from a penalty kick which, as the report states, was taken "metres" from the penalty spot.
