Swedish footballer sent off for farting during match

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jun/22/swedish-footballer-sent-off-for-farting-during-match

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”.

“I had a bad stomach, so I simply let go,” the 25-year-old told Länstidningen Södertälje. “Then I received two yellow cards and then red. Yes, I was shocked, it’s the strangest thing I have ever experienced in football.

“I asked the referee, ‘What, am I not allowed to break wind a little?’ ‘No,’ he replied … I don’t get it but maybe he thought I farted in my hand and threw the fart at him. But I did not.”

Opposition striker Kristoffer Linde told the paper: “I was standing a good distance away but I heard the fart loud and clear. It’s the strangest thing I’ve seen on a pitch, and I’ve been playing football since I was eight years old.”

The referee, Dany Kako, confirmed that Ljungkvist had received the second yellow card for breaking wind, explaining: “I perceived it as deliberate provocation. He did it on purpose and it was inappropriate. Therefore, he received a yellow card.”

Ljungkvist told Aftonbladet: “To provoke anyone with a fart is not particularly smart or normal. It’s nonsense – I just broke wind and got a red card. I spoke to the referee afterwards, I was annoyed, but there were no bad words. I just said he was a buffoon.”

Kako said he had experienced similar incidents before. “Once there was a player who stood and peed next to the pitch. I showed him a yellow card, too.”

Voting leave is much like farting in your hands and throwing it at people. You end up with smelly hands, nobody likes you and it achieves nothing positive.

To be fair the ref didn't send him off for the initial fart, more the way he followed through.

Re: Swedish footballer sent off for farting during match

I got a game abandoned once

Remember the days of wooden goals, square posts etc. I was a keeper and when play was up the other end I occasionally used to practise tipping corners over the bar. Held on and crack. Noone could fix it.

We lost the arranged fixture after being 2 0 up in the first

I've just tried to fart to order and cannot manage to do it. He should appeal and ask the disciplinary panel to try it.
