10 of the fastest red cards

#3 Lee Todd, Cross Park Farm Celtic vs Taunton East Reach Wanderers in 2000 (2 seconds)

So far, the list of fastest red cards has been filled with the usual suspects. Two-footed lunges, bad tackles, professional foul by last man and so on. But the player who is in third position on this list was sent off for foul language.

At the start of Cross Farm's Sunday league game against Taunton East Reach Wanderers, Lee Todd had his back to the referee, who blew his whistle. Given his proximity to the referee, Todd muttered the words "f**k me, that was loud". And he was promptly given his marching orders. muttered Todd, and the referee promptly showed him the red card.

Although Todd's side won the game 11-2, his manager Mark Heard, said: "Players should be sent off for swearing at the ref or a player. But referees are supposed to use a bit of common sense."
