Interesting that Brian McD did not seem to have an issue with this red card.

As I posted elsewhere:


Laws of the Game excerpt:



Sending-off offences



A player, substitute or substituted player is sent off if he commits any of the following offences:



•using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures

Running 50 yards to stand in front of opposing fans and grabbing your junk would appear to be exactly what "offensive, insulting or abusive ... gestures" contemplates.

Yes maybe according to the rules Johnny he may have crossed the line. But what ever happened to common sense. Football has become so sterile and the banter has gone between the fans and players. After all, the abuse that the players have to take. Personally I think Diouf has behaved impeccably for Leeds this season. <cool>
 
Yeah that's all he did, you can create a new thread if u want with it on lol

Perhaps but those are the Laws of the Game and every now and again some ref will call it.
