A REFEREE set a soccer record - by flashing 36 red cards in one game.

Fuming official Damian Rubino sent off all 22 players PLUS their substitutes and technical staff as a mass brawl erupted.

Last night the shaken boss of one of the teams told how he begged police to lock raging opposition players in their dressing room.
Rival Argentinian team Claypole - who beat his side Victoriano Arenas 2-0 - accused the referee of overreacting to the bust-up in Buenos Aires.

Manager Sergio Micieli said: "Most players were trying to separate people. The ref was confused."


The world record was previously held by a 1993 game in Paraguay that saw 20 players sent off.

90 mins,, 36 reds,, 59 yellows. that guy is from Yaba left

oboy, the ref for give himself red card too to balance the fume.

The article says the Ref was confused. Sending off a few players who were just tryna settle the row. The Ref should be relieved of his License till he's confirmed mentally stable.

Hello Guys,

I didn't bother at first but damn! this is some really strange ish. Football is very crazy there in South America.

if this is Nigeria u know what ill happen a committee ill be set up to look into it.

Alex Ferguson should know more about that ref.

what kind of ref is this? confused aba

[size=15pt]That must have been a battle field. [/size]

The referee's name is now on guiness book of record ha smart guy

He should have sent off the assistant refs and fans, one after the other. That way, the record will be really difficult to break. Oyinbo people and mental case sef!

Sweeeeeeeeeet,

Where else could it be if not in South America. I remember watching the great Romario throwing punches during his days in one of the league matches.

So anything can happen in that corner of the globe.

What an achievement

na waaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooo

No matter what i dont fink is enuf for a ref to lash out red card to all the players on the field, maybe the ref no dey ok

The ref shud b rewarded handsomely for putting his name in Guinness book of record. But he should face the wrath of FIFA if found guilty

You prototype dunce, you must be out of your senses.
