Forward too 5:30 substitute process

Then thoughts

What was the bloke sent off for??

 

[SM]

He was looking like he was being a little bit obstructive on the sideline to the AR, can only think it is for offinabus.

Presumably he was still a substitute at that time, so the team would not have to go down to 10 men...

He may have said something after entering the FOP

Looks that way. Steps onto FOP - therefore substitution procedure complete. Says something to AR who then calls ref over.

 

[Russell Jones]

The look on the face of the Yellow substitute when he overhears what is about to happen is priceless!

Highly unusual situation. Might have been worth the referee also involving the Pink captain in the sending off so that he knew the story and had the opportunity to help keep his team calm.
