he wasn't coming on as sub. he'd had treatment and was waiting to return to the pitch when he kicked the ball away to pick up a 2nd yellow.

I found out the hard way that you can get sent off for calling the ref a w****r in the car park after the game has finished.

Been on the reverse somewhat.

I sent a player off for foul and abusive language (iirc, he was quite inventive with it) directed at me after the game when he said from the other side of a boundary fence. I called him a coward as he wouldn't say it without a fence between us, so he came back in which I then red carded him.

His manager was fuming, telling him he was an idiot for saying it and then coming back on to the site when I challenged him. He was banned for 4 games as a result, definitely missed 2 as I reffed them so I'd have genuinely laughed if they'd tried playing him under another name.

Still not as amusing as an Asst Manager who cost his club £100 (this was in the 90s) who gave his name as "Mickey Mouse"* and he got a lovely ban and fine when his club passed his name to the FA. I'd booked his son so he got in my face and went on an amazing rant after the game. The week after the Disciplinary meeting (the Ref Secretary let me know the result), I saw him in the London Road queueing for food and so took the p**s out of him as I passed laughing at him.

*Mickey Mouse was used as the example in the Ref Training Course so he wasn't even original with that.

When playing Summer town Stars U12s back in the day, we had one guy (James) who registered with the club for the season but quit shortly afterwards. A new guy joined the team, and so that he didn't have to pay league registration fee, we just had to call him "James" during matches so the ref didn't cotton on that he was a totally different kid to the one on the teamsheet.

I think every team in our local league had a random registered just in case for ringers back in the day.

I once gave a second yellow card to a player who left the pitch mid-game to have a pee in the bushes: he’d been booked earlier and ran off the pitch to relieve himself without checking with me first.

It was a grassroots game and lots of kids were watching, and at the time I couldn’t work out whether to show him a straight red (offensive behaviour, exposing himself near the pitch, in the bushes) or just a yellow (leaving and entering the pitch without my permission), I went with the latter.

The melt only needed to wait another few minutes and I’d have blown for half-time anyway. But the previous night’s Stella excesses left him a bit desperate.
