Losing a player to a red card is frustrating at the best of times for a manager – but this one really takes the bizarre course.
Junior Football is known for its hard tackling and throwback football but it wasn’t a bad challenge that caused Shettleston keeper Gary Whyte to get sent off against Shotts Bon Accord in their match on Saturday.
It was because the goalie was bursting and left the field to do the toilet behind the goal.
Shotts Bon Accord tweeted the incredible update and said: “Shettleston goalkeeper Gary Whyte sent off after 72 minutes for having a pee behind the goals.”
The tweet has now been retweeted more than 6,000 times and liked more than 2,000.

And naturally, Twitter found the whole thing hilarious with many taking the chance to make puns and even tag Gary Lineker as a reminder to what happened in at the World Cup.

@ShottsBonAccord surely that should only have been a yellow for a pee….

@ShottsBonAccord Seems a bit harsh considering what @GaryLineker got away with at the World Cup ?

@ShottsBonAccord @HarryBradyCU. Sounds like they have a leaky defense.
