Horrifying referee got his head smashed by a throw
Perhaps now referees and players need to wear helmets on the field because recently, whenever fans "don't like it", they throw anything on the field. The match between Borac and Zeljeznicar in the Bosnia and Herzegovina Cup was also forced to be abandoned midway through the match because the linesman's head was broken by a fan throwing something at him.

The match between Borac and Zeljeznicar took place in a very violent and tense atmosphere. In the second half of the match, witnessing the home team Borac being led 1-0 by Zeljeznicar, the fans of this team could not control their anger and threw bottles, hard objects and anything they could get their hands on onto the field. Unfortunately, a linesman was hit in the head, blood flowing down his face. Immediately after that, the main referee Midhat Arnatuvic stopped the match and declared it abortive.
Blood was flowing down the referee's head.
The matches between these two teams always take place in a rather tense atmosphere, not only because of the intense competition between the players on the field but also because of the confrontation between the fans in the stands. In September 2011, when these two teams played the first leg, fans of both teams also clashed with each other, forcing the security forces to intervene.
