The Dhaka Times Desk This time, the referee gave a red card to a player for an exceptional reason. After the referee gave the red card, the sky fell on Lance Perry's head.
The player from England's West Midlands Christian Premier League side Rowley College could not have imagined that he would have to go off the field for such a reason.
A common problem at Sunday League football grounds. Being open, the field is frequented by dogs and the dogs do their 'natural work' when given the chance. Lance Perry had to see the unexpected red card for such an incident. A dog responded to the 'call of nature' by coming to the field. Perry saw that mall. He informed his teammates not to get the stool on them while playing. Well, that's the crime. Perry's words reached the referee's ears. He immediately showed Perry a red card and asked him to leave the field.
Perry told his teammates, 'Look, you don't get dog shit on you during the game.' The word 'shit' seemed obscene to the referee. So he showed Perry the red card.
"It's true that the league has zero tolerance for foul language," Rowley College manager Pete Bennett said. But the referee took it a bit too far. When Perry was shown the red card, we couldn't believe it.'
Mike Fales, the head of the league's disciplinary committee, said, 'We discussed the language used on the field. The word 'shit' is in the Oxford English Dictionary. But the word is not used in a bad sense. So we have withdrawn the one match ban imposed on Perry for the red card.
