http://www.101greatgoals.com/record-breaking-argi-ref-flashes-36-red-cards-in-a-fifth-division-match/85922/

Last Tuesday a crazy match was witnessed in the Argentinean fifth tier as referee Damien Rubino flashed a ridiculous 36 red cards during the clash between Claypole and Victoriano Arenas.

During the game, which was constantly halted as scuffles between the sides broke out, the match official sent off two players before the second half had even kicked-off. The latter was dismissed for bad behaviour during the half-time break itself.

Then, towards the end of the match, things descended into farce as a mass brawl erupted. Not only players and coaches got involved, but fans also raced onto the pitch to give a helping hand in the dust-up.

Following the match, referee Rubino filled out his match report in which he stated that 36 people, including all the players, the substitutes and coaches, had all been served with red cards for their part in the unruly mess. Reports in Argentina however have now said that the local Football Association are looking to alter the referee’s verdict believeing it sets a dangerous predecent moving forward.

They had this on football focus today. It's pretty excellent, but mostly I was considering the plausibility of Shearer and Lawro holding strong views on domestic argentine football.

i remember seeing that 99 era roberto carlos goal-from-near-the-cornerflag on football focus, only nondomestic/uefa thing i've seen on fitba focus iirc

terrible program these days

Actually, the best bit of that 'bad behaviour' section was Motty suggesting the FA would shite it from investigating Cole & Rooney because of important England business in three weeks' time, then cutting to Shearer for his view.

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli lasted only 57 minutes in the 2-0 defeat at Dynamo Kiev on Thursday after suffering an allergic reaction to grass. Manager Roberto Mancini said: "He had an allergy and his face was swollen."

huh?

it says 90:00 on the scoreboard at the back so... I presume the game ended?

a player collapsed and was rushed to the hospital, neither team wanted to continue playing but i guess the referee can't just call the game off so instead they did that for 20 minutes or so

Clarence Seedorf's only 34?!

Appropriate timing for Liz Taylor in a Celtic hat and scarf:

Soccer fanatics brought the body of a murdered teenager into a stadium in Colombia's Norte de Santander department.

The body of 17-year-old Christopher Jacome was brought in a coffin to the General Santander Stadium in Cucuta, the capital of Norte de Santander, during the Sunday match between Cucuta Deportivo and Envigado.

The boy, a loyal fan of Cucuta who belonged to the fan group "Barra del Indio" -- a group known in Colombia for their aggressive antics at soccer matches -- was shot several times Saturday while playing soccer in a local park.

After his wake, friends from "Barra del Indio" took the cadaver from the funeral home and paraded it around and then into the stadium in an attempt to pay homage to the slain soccer fan.

The medic for the soccer club, Julio Rivera, told the press, "They don't let in the "barras" (fanatics) but yes, a cadaver. This is the only part of the world where this has happened."

player in Melbourne who was left in agony after the ball struck his groin was sent off when the referee spotted he had an intimate piercing.

Aaron Eccleston, playing for Old Hill Wanderers against Swinburne University reserves, was shown a second yellow card for the offence in the first half of the match.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the incident happened while Eccleston was sprawling on the grass in pain. According to an opponent, when the player instinctively lowered his shorts to "check that it was still there", the referee spotted the piercing – and when Eccleston refused to remove it, he was dismissed.

'"Every year Hearts fights to be in the top 3, but even last season in the last 12 games of the season it was almost like someone replaced the team with a different one. Whose fault is that? Players? Manager's? Or it is mafia.

"Stealing players, bad games, problems with the law - all of that on top of record SFA fines. Problems are just shifted to another level.

"Mafia are dragging kids into the crime, in order to blackmail and profit on them. It is not possible to separate these people from pedophiles, and you don't need to do that. '

Okay, what's the deal with that?

Search old SPL thread for mentions of Vladimir Romanov.

Nice touch with the p@edos ref from a club with a former manager and a current player on the sex offenders register.

Threads, not thread. Guy wheels out his batshittery on a fairly regular basis. Been quiet for a while, but right back in with a bang.

Oh yeah I'm aware of his craziness, but this is presumably a propos of something in particular? Is he suggesting the mafia have their claws in the dirty-webchat-with-kids business now?

I'll always remember being in India and seeing across the bottom of the screen "Heart of Midlothian have sacked their manager, the convicted child sex offender Graeme Rix". After he appointed him in favour of the guy who had put them to the league, and announced it from the deck of a nuclear submarine.

Margaret Musgrove, 63, was given an automatic ban by Leeds after she went on to the grass during the last game of the season in May.

Mrs Musgrove, who says she has 13 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, was caught by TV cameras walking across the penalty area with her arms in the air at the end of the match against Burnley. She was grabbed by stewards and taken to holding cells but was not charged with any offence.

She told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "It's not like I am a hooligan. People who do much worse than this get the same ban."

Mrs Musgrove said she just got carried away, adding: "I just wanted to shout 'Lads, I love you'."

Dunfermline Athletic have a match steward to thank for being able to complete a Fife derby win that took them to the top of Division One.

Referee Kevin Clancy was injured in a collision with Cowdenbeath boss Colin Cameron and the second half was delayed as a replacement was sought.

A qualified official came forward from among the paying customers.

And the Pars went on to win thanks to a Jo Cardle strike, a John Armstrong own goal and a Craig Dargo tap in.

With a linesman replacing the referee following a 30-minute delay, 61-year-old G4S worker Jock Campbell, from nearby Rosyth, volunteered to take over the assistant referee duty at East End Park.

A G4S spokeswoman said Mr Campbell is a qualified referee and regular official at Sunday league matches. She said he was happy to step in when the call came out.

Four goals down? Have an extra player says Norwegian FA
Reuters, Monday October 29 2012

OSLO, Oct 29 (Reuters) - The Norwegian Football Association (NFF) has a novel idea to even out one-sided matches - if a team go four goals down they can bring on another player, a proposal backed by former international Henning Berg. "It's a good rule that will lead to more even matches," said Berg, who was capped 100 times by Norway. "It's no fun to lose 17-0. It's no fun to win 17-0 either."

Aalesund coach Kjetil Rekdal, who often partnered Berg in defence for the national side, was less enthusiastic. "It can be positive to get more (people) active, but it can be negative if you destroy or punish those who are better," he told Verdens Gang. (Writing by Philip O'Connor in Stockholm, Editing by Tom Pilcher)
