Most ridiculous sendings off in football...

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Good tackle. He got theNearly forgot this one
That one still hurts a lot for me. We were looking fantastic and i could see us adding another CL trophy.. ahhh why did you remind me of that
Don't know much about Felipe Melo. Will take a look at him.
Agreed on that that one. He's mad enough already.The two red cards Ajax got against Chelsea?
Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned. It annoyed me massively as a neutral
This for me
Nani against Real Madrid definately. For the decision in itself, the impact it had and the importance of the game.
I mentioned it in the OP.
Sorry bro, usually I would definitely agree with you. Cannot let it slide, most people who know me are aware of my very specific rage towards him.
Was that the one when he got a second booking for knocking the ball away a few yards? I think Liverpool went on to win 2-1
The Nani one vs Madrid will always annoy me.
Didn't Canniggia get sent off when sitting on the bench once

How did he even get a second yellow for that and not a straight red?!!
He was sent off for trying to keep the ball in, basically. We ended up drawing 2-2.
Was going to say RVP against Barca but found it in the op. That was ridiculous.
Zola in WC1994 against Nigeria, the guy going off on the stretcher, I mean WTF

Then I'm clearly an idiot
I saw the headline, skimmed the top and bottom line of your post, read the rest of the thread and missed the most important thing.The Nani one against Real Madrid in 2013 sticks out for me.
I was absolutely livid when that got shown! Changed the whole complexion of that match as were certainly on course to go through before that awful red card decision!

That's hilarious!
Game finished 2-2. Irwin tried to keep the ball in play. Never a booking and he missed the FA Cup Final as a result.
Sir Alex was incandescent afterwards. If he could have taken hold of Ellery's arse cheeks and pulled them up over his head, I'm sure he would have!
This will always be the worst for me - never a red and made worse by the fact that the ref absolutely loved getting that red out - he dragged it out made a proper performance out of it, as if it was some sort of magic trick... wanker.
This does run it close though - another ref going all "look at me"
It has to be this one for me
"He's off again."
Had to check him out after that.
- In a professional career spanning 19 years from 1992 to 2011, Muscat received 123 yellow cards and 12 red cards.
- In December 2013, the Spanish football website El Gol Digital named Muscat as football's dirtiest ever player.
Byron Moreno at South Korea 2002 with sending off Totti in Italy - South Korea ( ) and officiating so blatantly baaad that he was forced to confess a few years later, after being arrested, becoming a minor TV star in Italy.

Or have I got the wrong tournament?Byron Moreno at South Korea 2002 with sending off Totti in Italy - South Korea (
Booting the ball after the whistle has gone its been a yellow card offence for years
Yeah but come on, surely that's a genuine attempt to score, having not heard the whistle.
"Booting"
Pure gold.
"Brave" to clatter Mata, and then even braver to stamp on prone player.
What a dolt.
Didn't they change the rules after a Liverpool player got a pre season red?
Not for me, he’s left footed he had more than enough time to get it on to his left and get a shot away. For me it was a kick out of frustration, let’s be honest it was not even close to getting on target
That was super harsh, as he'd literally tapped it a few yards back in the right direction, and was hardly the classic booting ball away job.
Didn't he miss a key game because of it?
Scholes got sent off in the same game and both got a 3 match ban, it was a stupid rule
A couple of other Wycombe ones.
Anthony Grant (ex Chelsea) shooting about 1/1000th of a second after a whistle, even though he was in motion, to get a second yellow.
And Jason Cousins "challenge" v Doncaster in 93. One of my first ever games.
Basically the worst challenge in the history of football that didn't do any damage!
A 20 yard sprinting long jump two footer!!
Amazingly it was a second yellow job!
He'd been sent off the week before for a really harsh one, handling it about 50 yards from goal without a man in sight from them!

Yes, he missed the FA Cup Final v Newcastle. You could tell afterwards how Sir Alex was truly gutted for him and furious at the injustice.
It was Euro 2004 with another Italian trainwreck in the form of the Scandinavian 2-2 “biscotto” (biscuit) agreed by Sweden and Denmark to send them both through at our expense. Then WC2006 made footballing justice for good.

That is a crazy amount if cards. Looks a bit of a nut case .I'm team "Oh, he heard it alright.".
