Watch what happened when this ref forgot to let the little football bus carry the ball
Dublin football team Bohemian F.C. have recently introduced a little bus to carry the ball out at home games – like the tiny car from the Euros, but decked out like a Dublin bus.
Here it is negotiating a light dusting of snow ahead of its official unveiling.
Do a wheelie!!
Not sure who needs to hear this but Bohemian Football Club now have a lil Dublin ball bus that dings around the pitch at Dalymount Park
It's due to make its debut tomorrow at 3pm- not sure if it's gonna arrive on time tho?

When the team faced St. Patrick’s Athletic, referee Paul McLaughlin took the ball out in a more conventional way – and whoever had the remote control wasn’t happy.
Bohs Bus won't be disrespected. Any wonder we picked up a red from the officials? #bohpat #LOI pic.twitter.com/NIZzC9ykb7

Bohemians’ little bus was meant to bring out their match ball, but the referee took it instead.

People don’t normally enjoy seeing someone get hit by a bus, but in this case they made an exception.

If you only watch one video with a disgruntled radio controlled bus in it this morning make it this one. https://t.co/cRgtQPYNWB

It’s the little movement backwards that gets me, like it’s gearing up for a charge

This is NOT funny! I am a bus technician with over 20 years experience working with them and know that young buses only do this when extremely startled or distressed! https://t.co/TaZzQEotuQ

In case you were wondering, Bohemians ended the match 3-2 down. That’s what happens when you disresepct the little bus.
