Come again? Football's precedent for bizarre red cards after Marcelo's Ligue 1 mishap this weekend
If you thought the red card shown to Lyon’s Marcelo this weekend was comically classic, then you ain’t seen nothing yet.
The defender’s second yellow for accidentally flicking the card from the referee’s hand has gone viral – but if you think that’s the strangest sending off of all time, we’re about to blow your mind!
From bad bodily functions to loose lips at kick-off. We have compiled a list of the best, or the worst, red cards from around the globe.

Adam Ljungkvist, 2016
It’s an unwritten rule. You can’t go to IKEA without wolfing down some Swedish meatballs and perhaps the pre-match meal enjoyed by Adam Ljungkvist was to blame for his dismissal.
The Swedish starlet was sent off for breaking wind in a match involving Jarna SK and Pershagen. The left back ordered off for “deliberate provocation” and “unsportsmanlike behaviour” in 2016.
The 25-year-old said: “I had a bad stomach, so I simply let go. Then I received two yellow cards and then a red. I asked the referee ‘what, am I not allowed to break wind a little?’ and he said no.
“Maybe he thought I farted in my hand and threw the fart at him but I did not.” Charming!
Samuel Inkoom, 2011
We’ve all seen a player removed for getting shirty, but Ghana international Samuel Inkoom took it to the extreme.
The 22-year-old was already on a yellow card towards the end of a Ukrainian match between his Dnipro side and Karpaty Lviv.
He wasn’t having the best of games and when his number was up, he strolled off to take a breather. As he left the pitch he removed his jersey after a sweaty afternoon’s work but the referee stuck to the law and gave him a second yellow for the removal of his shirt.
The decision annoyed everyone, no-one more than the player who was due to replace him and didn’t get on!
Lee Todd, 2000
If you have ever played Sunday League football, it’s doubtless you have encountered one of them.
The referee who turns up in the middle of the hungover masses and doesn’t like your dark green replacement sock because you can’t find your long lost black one.
A stickler to the rules was the official taking charge of Taunton East Reach Wanderers back in 2000. Lee Todd is his eyeline, the fastest red card in football history was about to be pulled out.
As the referee blew to start to game, the striker’s head was clearly a little sore from the night before. Shouting “f*** me ref, that was loud” as the game got underway, off he went for foul and abusive language. Back to bed to sleep it off, then.
Ashley Vickers, 2011
Jagshemash! Ashley Vickers was about the only person not laughing at cult creation Borat when Sacha Baron Cohen unleashed the Kazakhstani journalist on the world.
The Dorchester Town defender saw little funny when a pitch invader wearing nothing but a trademark green mankini wouldn’t get the message on a cold night on the south coast.
When the icey intruder refused to get off, the centre-back got fed up of waiting for security. He rugby tackled the shivering supporteer and handed him over to a steward.
The referee, though, sent Vickers off for violent conduct. “I’m dumbfounded and speechless,” he said. “I thought I was doing them a favour!” Dorchester lost the game 3-1 to Havant & Waterloville and he was banned for three games.
Garry Whyte, 2017
Urine trouble now! Who hasn’t needed to go at the worst possible time. Usually it’s when you are closed in somewhere with little chance of springing a leak.
So when Shettleston goalkeeper Garry Whyte spotted a break in play against Bon Accord to spend a penny, he could hold back nature’s call no more.
Jumping behind his goal, he did what he needed to while the ball was being retrieved at the other end and returned to the pitch, hopefully not planning to touch anyone with his gloves.
But he didn’t get the chance. He was instantly sent off – leaving his side with a wee problem!
