REFEREE WHO SET WORLD RECORD

 

A referee has set a record by whipping out a staggering 36 red cards in a single game.
Argentinian official Damian Rubino sent off all 22 players - as well as the substitutes, team coaches and technical staff in the chaotic game last Tuesday.

The tense game between rival teams Claypole and Victoriano Arenas in the Argentine fifth division started messily with players pushing and shoving.
By the start of the second half, two players had already been dismissed, including one for bad behaviour during the interval.

With Claypole winning 2-0, tempers flared and players began lunging in to tackles and squaring up to each other.

A mass brawl erupted that saw managers and coaches race on to the pitch with their fists flying.
Before long, spectators had even joined in with one jumping over barriers in the stand and elbowing an unsuspecting player in the face.
The shaken boss of one of the teams told how he begged police to lock raging opposition players in their dressing room.

Victoriano Arenas manager Domingo Sganga said: 'They wanted to kill me'.
Opposition coach Sergio Micielli accused the referee of over-reacting to the brawl in Buenos Aires
'Most players were trying to separate people. The ref was confused,' he said.
Referee Rubino filled out his match report in which he stated that 36 people had all been served with red cards for their part in the chaos.
But the local Football Association is reportedly discussing overruling Rubino's red cards, claiming that 'it sets a dangerous precedent moving forward'.
The previous world record for the number of red cards  was held by a 1993 game in Paraguay in which 20 players were dismissed.
