There are a number of things that could potentially distract football players during matches - but a train hurtling its way past a pitch during a game has got to be perhaps the most unusual - and distracting - of them all.
However, that is the reality for Slovakian amateur team TJ Tatran Čierny Balog, who play their games next to a railway track that regularly has trains making its way past the ground - even during matches.

A video uploaded onto social media by a fan attending a game involving the Slovakian team shows just how focused players must be as a steam train travels along the length of the pitch during a match while spectators sitting in stands just in front of the track watch on.

Bet it's quite difficult to keep track of the game when that happens

Time to divert the Brighton to Lewes line so that it passes in front of the north stand

Should have just built the Amex a bit further to the south. Could have incorporated the down platform alongside the pitch at least.


.....................the third rail could have made things a bit tricky at throw-ins for unwary visiting teams.............
