Crawley Town beat Bradford City 2-1 in their League Two match on Tuesday despite being shown six yellow cards to Bradford's one. The referee became even more busy at the final whistle when a brawl kicked off between the two clubs (video here or here), resulting in five red cards distributed back in the dressing rooms.
From Reuters:
"I can't believe this has happened," Bradford manager Phil Parkinson, who had three players shown red cards after the 2-1 home defeat on Tuesday night, told the BBC.
"I have never been in a situation before where a ref has come into the dressing room, pulled players on one side and sent them off. He wouldn't allow me in there."
As unusual as that sounds, it was even weirder when the ref forced the players sent off from the dressing room to go back into the pitch."I have never been in a situation before where a ref has come into the dressing room, pulled players on one side and sent them off. He wouldn't allow me in there."
