rynny Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Is this the greatest reason for sending a player off? The full article is brilliant and we'll worth reading http://gu.com/p/4mfa3/sfb A Swedish footballer has hit out after being sent off for breaking wind during a match – with the referee accusing him of “deliberate provocation” and “unsportsmanlike behaviour”. Adam Lindin Ljungkvist, who was playing at left-back in the match between Järna SK’s reserve team and Pershagen SK, was shown a second yellow card late on in what local media called “bizarre circumstances”.

Wolfie Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 It's this bit in particular that gets me: "I don’t get it but maybe he thought I farted in my hand and threw the fart at him. But I did not.” Well if I had a pound for every time I'd thought someone had farted in their hand and thrown it at me.....what?!? Am I that out of touch?. Is that a thing now?.

Wolfie Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Still surprising that the ref followed through with the second yellow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 1st yellow for the fart itself, 2nd for holding the ref's head down under the duvet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Former England midfielder David Plaff today condemned the referee for his decision to send Ljungkvist off for his on field flatulence, "Quite frankly it leaves a bad taste, some on my finest guffs slipped out on the pitch, just after I got the winner against Belgium in the 1990 World Cup, one slipped out, what can you do"? Bournemouth shot stopper Fartur Boruc was unavailable for comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 In one of our village games a player got sent off for laughing. The referee gave an indirect free kick which was touched to our player, who then scored. The ref said the wall had encroached and disallowed the goal. Our player was incredulous and just laughed. He then scored following the retake and the referee said he wasn't ready. At that point our player fell to the floor beating the ground with laughter and was sent off for 'not taking the game seriously'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
