Title: Disciplinary problems!!
Post by: ronnie21 on Tuesday, March 8, 2016, 22:02:19
Just reading about a match in the Anglian Combination between East Harling and Corton.  The visitors kicked off with only nine players and then had a player sent off after one minute for denying a goalscoring opportunity.  This was quickly followed by another who verbally abused the referee and got his marching orders.  The Corton players then threw in the towel and the game was abandoned after 120 seconds!!   :doh: :doh:

Phew thought we had several players who hit 5 bookings we hadn't realised.

Seems strange that it was all videoed. Funny though

Having had to deal with Suffolk FA on several occasions I know how thorough and unforgiving they can be - Corton have a real problem!!!  Especially with video evidence - as you say NR, very strange!

South America always wins at this stuff. There was a Rio state championship game in 1968 in which all 22 were sent off. Surely has to be the highest number of sendings off?

But then there was a Copa Liberatories match in between Boca and I forget who but 19 players were sent off for a brawl and both teams were given 30 days in jail. And that is their equivalent of the Champions League...
