The fastest red card ever came about by some murky rules about swearing 

Legendary Gazza moment from 1995: The Referee dropped his yellow card and Gascoigne retrieved it, jokingly brandishing it at the ref. The Ref took exception to this joke and reached into his pocket for the yellow card, before realising that it wasn't there...

"They were down a man from the start of the match and still win 11-2" Never change, Sunday league. Never change.

Girls coach of my high school once expressed his disbelief at a bad call from the ref and said, "Oh my God." Ref came over and gave him a yellow. Ref was the pastor of the church next door... lol

Also being fined like 60 bucks as an AMATEUR PLAYER is crazy. The dude was a construction worker who played on the weekends on the side to make like maybe an extra 20 or 40 bucks

The worst red card was against Arsenal when there was a blatant foul, the ref jogged up and confidently sent off the wrong player (he sent off an Arsenal player who did nothing) and refused to change when everyone on the Arsenal team pointed it out.

Justice for Lee Todd. He also has 2 first names, which is cool.

If absurd red card stories are youe thing then have a look into an incident involving ex-Arsenal and Leeds forward Sanchez Watt who I think was playing non-league. He committed a foul which the ref wanted go book him for and asked his name (no names on shirts in non league) to which he replied "Watt". The referee asked again and he replied with the same answer. The ref, believing he was being mocked, decided instead to send him off and only rescinded it when his teammates cleared up the confusion 😂

this is why when you get whistled in the ear you smash the blood capsules you hide in your socks against your ears and go to the ground screaming and clutching your head.

The best joke on this video is reading the comments and all the stories about strange red cards involves an Arsenal or a former Arsenal players.

The problem with making a list of "bad" words, as George Carlin once said, is that "Everyone's list is different. And their list can even change depending on the day!"

This is possibly the most egregious use of this rule ever. I have been feet away from a professional player launching into an expletive-filled tirade right in the face of an assistant referee, insinuating he was completely useless and had no place being on the field. and no action was taken.

All I can think of is Andy from the office calling himself a “gun violence victim” and holding his ear and limping😂😂😂😂

It’s an amateur league. There wouldn’t be pressers. The local press probably called him up after the game. £27 is standard for the time for amateur low league football.

You guys should look into the final day of the Championship season in 2013. Barnsley and Huddersfield players stopped playing for the last 5 minutes when they heard that Peterborough had thrown a 2-1 lead in the final 7 minutes which lead to Barnsley and Huddersfield being safe.

Yay more football content!You should also do a rewinder on the relegation playoff between Hamburg and Kalshruer in 2015!

Only bit of context missed is the Somerset County League is the 11th tier of English football, so getting fined $60 for them is still kinda significant

I would almost accuse the Ref of having a grudge against Lee.

That's a better reaction than I would have had, because I'm one of the people who can't go to haunted houses cause I start swinging when I get startled. My loved ones have taken some elbows to the gut coming up behind me...

In the US, I always found it funny we hold teens to a higher standard then pro athletes when it comes to swearing on the field.

The most insulting part of the whole ordeal was that the number of days he was suspended (35) was larger than the number of pounds he was fined (27).

This is another case of a referee who finally gets some power and is going to mete it out with everything he has. Baseball umps are probably the worst for this, particularly the ones who seem to derive sadistic pleasure from ringing a batter up for a strike call. And, the number of officials who are strong to acknowledge an error is a painfully small one. And specific to what happened, I am very noise sensitive and I would have lost my sh** with that blast. A real adult wouldn't even give him a yellow.

Man, that ref must've been Lee Todd-ed

This awesome series deserves a better sponsor.

Im imagining MLB Angel Hernandez as a soccer referee...

OK, that was a strict reading of the rule. But the big question is: How did Donovan McNabb finish his career Untitled?

Dude said, "F* me," not even "F* you." So even his comment wasn't directed to the ref.

I love Joe's videos but he sounds so much more natural here than in his own narrations. I get the style of the video is different, though

If you’d like to see more bad decisions from referees, just watch any Premier League match!

"Stadium full of fans" Not at that level mate

Need more football ones like this 👏👏

Lee Todd went full Gordon Ramsay eating lousy food with the reaction.

If you played audio clips of Joe Ali and Kofie, I don't think I would be able to tell them apart.

Have you guys done an episode on the Emergency Backup in the NHL yet, particularly with the David Ayers situation a couple of years ago.

We love weird rules

How "real" is the Sommerset County League? I mean, I know they could get promoted time and time again and win the Premier League. But at what point between Arsenal and a middle school team would they fall?

Yo wait, you're not supposed to talk into the tip of the blue yeti mic, you're meant to talk into the side with the mute button and the logo from the front

This video has some hooligan vibes

You guys have gotten World Cup fever!

Your thumbnail with Martin Atkinson should have him wearing a Manchester City kit.

You guys better be careful, or else Roger Goodell is gonna start getting ideas

Collapse: how injuries, age, and tragedy brought down the Larry bird Celtics The worst: game of the century, Alabama vs LSU Beef history: Mike ditka vs buddy Ryan Beef history: George Steinbrenner vs Billy Martin Collapse: how the big 3 Atlanta braves went contenders to mediocrity Untitled: Ted Williams Rewinder: the miracle of Istanbul Collapse: how the San Antonio spurs dynasty became a shell of their former selves Collapse: how the Martin brodeur New Jersey devils became one of the worst teams in the league Untitled: Gilbert Perrault

We are all Lee.

As a kitchen guy the ref should’ve put his hand on his back/shoulder, like saying behind, and he wouldn’t have reacted that way

No no no, this is a high scores video. YOU FOOLS

Are there videos of this?

I don't get why he was suspended for 35 days though, normally its just a 1 match ban unless its something really violent?

Joe is underrated, I FELT his words in the Falcons documentary

you guys should talk about the infamous away-goal rule the Football has for the longest time :V

rewinder of the 1999 UCL Final!

This seems like a Palpably Unfair Act.

Hello Vox! Pay your workers.

funniest football story I've heard lmao he getting parking ticket amount of fine must've been the most insulting part

$60 not much? Lucky you

Semipro/sunday league has miracles within

Did the referee drop his monocle?

Can we get a Beef History for Vox Union and Bankoff?

A sudden SB video on English football has me thinking, why haven't you guys done a video on Steven Gerrard: Untitled? It's one of the premier league's most notorious storylines

I play soccer and swear like a drunk tradie and have never been given so much as a yellow card in my life.

I... would have probably said much worse

do it for lee lmfao

If the refs in Australia followed the 'red card for offensive language' rule to the letter the games would get cancelled due to lack of players. There are a *lot* of C bombs being dropped by A-League players in any given 90 minutes. Now to the title of the video (The earliest red card ever given should've been a yellow ), that's wrong. Offensive language is the red card offence, dissent is a yellow. Dissent doesn't have to involve swearing. Abusive/offensive language doesn't have to involve dissent to the officials. In this case he swore (offensive language) which is a red card even though it was not "dissent".

Need a video on the Vinnie Jones yellow card in 3 seconds. Pure shithousery

Just is furly!

I can't do draftkings

Yay football content!

Free Lee Todd! Fee Lee Todd!

Why does Joe keep doing Mod Pizza ads

Appreciate will calling it football

I got 1:30 into this soccer video before I realized lol

RCB!RCB!RCB!

Sir Donald Bradman please sb

Come on guys, literally any sponsorship other than promoting literal gambling has to be better

Yo please make a video about muhammad ali and Joe Frazier I refuse to give up until you make the video

Thought they got rid of this dead weight

Perfect explanation and I hate that when us as referees when we try to communicate and explain the call in a civilized way and in a calm demeanor they (players) think they can just talk to you however they want. I’ve given more yellows for descent than what I have for fouls. That just shows you where the state of the sport is at. The fact that we have to raise our voice and break out of character just so they can finally understand is insane. It drives me nuts especially when dealing with Hispanics/Latinos they’re wild

Refs really need some power stripped away from them in regards to absolute decisions. The decisions are sometimes absolutely surreal and even with VAR they haven't figured out how to make the game more fair, which is quite impressive actually. Having the VAR and not using it in a way to better correct decisions...

He just like me frfr

Sunday league is awesome lmao

The worst red card I’ve seen is van persie against Barca. RVP never knew it was offside and took the shot and the ref gave him a red card 😭😭😭. UEFALONA at its finest . Barca are actually disgusting 🤮

All of this is funny and all until you realize that rigging matches for betting profit is a thing, an specially prevalent thing in lower leagues. Red card 2 seconds in for no reason? 11-2? I call shenanigans. Aaaaaaand of course the video is sponsored by a betting site. Sports are dead.

As someone who's suffered from tinnitus for years, I loved this video (as always!) but didn't find it as funny as I expected. Given Lee Todd's initital reaction to the whistle, I wouldn't be surprised if he suffered permanent damage to his hearing thanks to this prat of a ref.

Half decent video but, more importantly, congrats on your union agreement. The workers united will never be defeated.

that might be the most BS punishment for such an absolutely nothing act. 35 day suspension? seriously? just what.

If that rule 12.3 was actually used in professional league, no game would ever be finished... And it is not just the Italians, it is just awful how pros react to every call that gets made in a game.

Stop calling it "football in Europe". The "laws of the game" that apply in Europe also apply in all parts of the globe. It's not like Europe have their "laws of the game" and South America have their "laws of the game", etc.

£27 is about $33 not 60

This entire video is just Americans not understanding that 'gobsmacked' is a completely normal term to use in the UK

Second

Hey, Vox Media, wassup? Pay your workers decent wages.

Is it possible for me to click "Like" on the video but "Dislike" on the paid ad for gambling addiction at the end? Are there no better sponsors around???

I genuinely have never understood how people don’t like swearing…or I suppose it’s okay to not like it, but to try to tell someone else WHAT to say is ridiculous to me unless it’s your mama.

Third

Annoying how these two think that just because they don't have the word "gobsmacked" in their vocabulary, the playet must have "whipped out a thesaurus" or thought about it all day. It implies ego and arrogance. Anyone arguing that they were just trying to be funny: the moment was so blah that this is not a reasonable interpretation of what they were doing.

27 GBP is more like 34 USD or 43 CAD, not 60. Don't know where you're getting your currency exchanged, Will, but can you let me know? Thx.

Why don't U do a video on cricketer Shane Warne U will get a million view's easily!... about 1870 cricket started and he's named one of the top 5 cricketer's of the century!
