Footballer given red-card for farting/gassing during match
In a
division 9 match in Sweden, football club Pershagen SK's Adam Lindin Ljungkvist
was sent off for farting, an action the referee termed "unsportsmanlike
behaviour" after he farted loudly in a game against Jarna SK's reserve
team.
The game was almost over and Adam Lindin Ljungkvist was already on a yellow card, until he polluted the air and was booked for the second time with a yellow card- an automatic red card.
"I needed to fart,
I had a bad stomach," Lindin Ljungkvist told Lanstidningen
Sodertalje. "So I just farted. Then I received a yellow card and then a
red. I was shocked, it's the strangest thing I have ever experienced on a
football field.
"I asked the
referee: 'What, you can't fart on the field?', he replied: 'No'. He may have
thought that I farted in my hand and threw it towards him, but he didn't
say."
The referee reported that he had already booked the player in the 65th minute, but Ljungkvist says he can't remember receiving one.
The referee, Dany Kako, has admitted that the card was indeed for passing gas.
"I perceive that it
is a provocation against another player. He did it on purpose and it was
inappropriate behaviour. Therefore, he received a yellow card." Referee
Kako told Lanstidningen Sodertalje.
"Yes. No one must
get a yellow card for farting on the field. Once there was a player who stood
and peed next to the pitch. That was also a yellow card."
