Adam Lindin Ljungkvist was dismissed in the late
stages of a ninth-tier game in Sweden after he let
off what was apparently a rather impressive fart There are many reasons a player can be sent off
in a game - reckless tackles, two yellow cards,
even swearing at the referee in some occasions.
But Swedish football saw a bizarre new offence
which seems incredibly harsh.
In a ninth-tier clash, Pershagen SK's Adam Lindin
Ljungkvist was sent off for "unsportsmanlike
behaviour" when he farted loudly in his side's
game against and Jarna SK's reserves.
The game was almost over and, having
apparently already been given a yellow card, he
released wind and was booked for the second
time.
"I needed to fart, I had a bad stomach," he
told Lanstidningen Sodertalje. "So I just farted.
Then I received a yellow card and then a red.
"I was shocked, it's the strangest thing I have
ever experienced on a football field.

"I asked the referee: 'What, you can't fart on the
field?', he replied: 'No'.

He does, however, have a theory as to why he
was sent off: "He may have thought that I farted
in my hand and threw it towards him, but he
didn't say."

The referee reported that he had already booked
the player in the 65th minute, but Ljungkvist says
he can't remember receiving one.

And the referee, Dany Kako, has cleared up the
situation, stating that it was indeed for passing
gas.

"I perceive that it is a provocation against another
player. He did it on purpose and it was
inappropriate behaviour. Therefore, he received a
yellow card."

But even Kako admitted that it is an absurd
situation.

"Yes. No one must get a yellow card for farting on
the field. Once there was a player who stood and
peed next to the pitch. That was also a yellow
card."

According to the opposition striker Kristoffer
Linde says he heard the fart and testified to how
loud it was.

"I was standing a good distance away but I heard
the fart loud and clear. It was the strangest thing
I've seen on the field, and I have been playing
football since I was eight years old."
