Boo Khaki Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Chic Charnley is bound to have at least one ordering off to his name that involves choke-slamming the referee, diving into the crowd to square-go an auld man, chasing someone with a bladed weapon, or the CID arriving on the pitch to attempt an arrest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonytoons Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) Petr Grant's red against Rangers in 1991 was priceless for stuidity. If I recall correctly, he gave away a needless free kick outside the Celtic box and got a yellow, then subsequently charged down the direct free kick. He was about 5 yards away when the shot was taken. Result was a second yellow (and 2-0 to Celtic). ETA.. Hurlock (utter nutjob), Walters (great player but dirty git) and Hateley (great player but a complete arsehole) all saw red that day too. Hately blowing kisses to the Celtic faithful was sublime. For a neutral, it was a fantastic game. Edited August 11, 2021 by Loonytoons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Probably about 15-20 years ago Motherwell were playing out a turgid midweek nil nil draw at kilmarnock when our goalie Francois Dubordeau came out to collect a long ball that bounced through to him late on in the game. Having caught the ball about head height, he then elbowed the oncoming Kilmarnock player in the head, getting sent off and conceding a penalty in the process. We lost 1-0 from the penalty. Wiki has him done as being a fans' favourite for a performance against Rangers but that's my abiding memory of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is still, and I think it always will be, the single worst game I have ever been at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) Can't remember of it was Neilsen or Pressley but Hearts on the attack deep in the United half after clearing from a corner and whoever it was sucker punches a United player back in the Hearts box seen by the linesman. Straight red card and penalty to United converted. Might have been same game Michael Stewart sent off for a heads gone at his own support but there is a few of them to choose from. ETA it was Zaliukas http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/7165323.stm Edited August 11, 2021 by invergowrie arab 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Don't know if it was the daftest red card but was certainly the funniest, in our promotion play off semi final against Dundee Utd, seeing Willo Flood completely losing it for pushing Shaun Byrne to the ground to try and take a quick free kick, getting a red card, pushes Nicky Cadden and then gets pushed by Lee Miller, stops and comes back as if he's going to square go him, then walks away, losing it some more as he's going off the pitch he pushes the camera man. It completed a fantastic night coming back from 2-1 down to win 3-2 at Tannadice. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I'd forgotten about that. Crazy considering the United team must have been finding it hard to come to terms with what they'd witnessed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Bartender Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 13 hours ago, Austinho said: Hand down the worst I’ve seen was Dean Shiels in the Edinburgh Derby (3 minutes 20 secs on the clip). 2-0 down to Hearts and he scores a penalty to make it 2-2 with 30 minutes left. Clotheslines the keeper on his way to retrieving the ball from the net and gets a straight red. Killed all momentum and ended up losing. Idiot. To be fair the keeper was Craig Gordon who has history when it comes to clattering into opposition players (anywhere on the pitch) and getting away with it. Divine retribution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking your own knee ligaments while getting sent off for a pointless foul is a magnificent effort. Windass losing his shit against us was the other one that immediately came to mind, along with Robbie Neilson inexplicably giving Samaras a forearm smash in a game where we were in control, only to subsequently lose 4-0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won 7-2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Billy Abercrombie has to be up there. Possibly the only player to be sent off 3 times in one game? Him and Stevie Kirk clashed at a game at Love Street and both were red carded. Kirk departed but Aber didn't. After a shouting match with the ref he was red-carded a second time. But he still refused to go and continued to voice his displeasure. Got a 3rd red card before he eventually left the field. And a 12 match ban. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
