There is a player who received a yellow card while cleaning the ball with safety personnel clothes.

This week, an EFL star broke a rule that fans never knew and received a bizarre yellow card.”

Wickham Wanderers defeated Bradford City 1-0 in the EFL Trophy semifinals of the 2023/24 season at the Valley Parade in Bradford on Tuesday. The team produced an absurd yellow card that surprised all fans.

Luke Leahy of the Wickham Wanderers received a yellow card in the 40th minute of the second half while trying to throw in. Leahy was preparing for the throw-in when he wiped the ball with the clothes of a safety guard in the stadium and immediately received a yellow card.

According to regulations, any substance or dry clothing used to clean balls before a throw-in is considered to give the team an unfair advantage and cannot be used. The EFL (England Third Division) introduced the rule ahead of this season, and introduced a multi-ball system for all games to speed up games and reduce time waste.

Fans of the Wickham Wanderers were very embarrassed that they had issued a warning to Leahy despite the fact that it was the right decision by regulation. One fan said, “This is the first time I’ve ever received a card for that reason,” while another added, “Luke Leahy was shown a yellow card while cleaning a ball using his safety guard’s clothes. It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s the first time for me.”

Other fans thought the rule was ridiculous. “I can’t believe Rich got a yellow card,” one fan said, while another commented, “The game is really over.”

Another fan said it was fortunate that the incident didn’t spark Leahy and Wickham Wanderers again, adding, “I’m glad I didn’t miss the final because of a playful card.”

Meanwhile, Wickham Wanderers, who advanced to the final with Butcher’s winning goal in the 1st minute of extra time in the second half, will play Peterborough United in the final at Wembley Stadium on April 7. 토토사이트 추천
