FA Cup: Blackfield & Langley FC goalkeeper sent off for urinating in a hedge
This is at the strictly amateur stage of the competition, but the FA Cup (soccer) is one of the world's most famous sporting competitions, in which the best amateurs end up playing against professionals, and eventually some of the world's best, if they're lucky. And don't piss during the match.
In what might be an FA Cup first, a goalkeeper was sent off for "urinating in a hedge" during a match.
The keeper in question is Connor Maseko of Hampshire side Blackfield & Langley FC, who play in the ninth-tier Wessex League.
The incident occurred in the 76th minute of their 0-0 draw with Somerset side Shepton Mallet FC in Saturday's FA Cup first qualifying round tie.
"The ball went out for a goal kick," Blackfield & Langley FC co-manager Conor McCarthy told BBC Sport.
"He needed to go to the toilet so he went up against a hedge and their players started shouting saying 'what's he doing?' to the ref. The ref went up to him and decided to send him off.
