A mob of angry Malaita Eagle fans rioted at the Lawson Tama stadium today after the Eagles lost to Honiara.  Details are sketchy at this time but SIFF confirms that the SIFF ofice at Lawson Tama has been burnt down.

Speaking with Lifhaus a SIFF spokesperson commented, "fans were unhappy with a disallowed goal and started shooting stones into the stadium.  Referee decided to abandon the game but relented to a call to complete the game."

6 minutes before full time Honiara squad scored and that was when disgruntled fans went into a mayhem.  "They also stole the gate takings at the gate and then broke into the Sports shop where someone lit the fire and as a result the office was burned down"

Lifhaus will bring you more updates at a later time.

UPDATE:  Reports from eye witnesses at the scene indicated that certain shops at Chinatown were looted.  "The people who looted the shops were opportunists who had no idea what was happening at Lawson Tama.  I had asked one of the looters what happened in the game and he replied - what game?"

RAMSI Police have been deployed at Lawson Tama and are currently monitoring the situation.  Police presence has been stepped up.  Earlier in the day eye witnesses also informed Lifhaus that RAMSI fired blanks at the advancing crowd at Chinatown.

The SIFF office at Lawson Tama has been razed to the ground.  "It happened quickly and Police was outnumbered."

Innocent bystanders and passing vehicles were also threatened and stoned during the chaos.  "Our family sped out of the area as soon as we heard someone shouting - burn that vehicle."

It is still unclear what this latest incident will do to the Solomon Cup but there are already strong indications that our reputation in OFC has just hit another low point and we have not done much to improve anything including soccer.
