Another quick sending off was Jason Smith for Hull FC against Halifax in our first game at the KC Stadium. Smith was sent off for a high tackle (the second tackle of the game). Steve Ganson stopped the clock on 22 seconds.

Yeah the one referred to was just a booking, although the circumstances were correct.

Might be wrong but think it was Barrow, they kicked off we drove ball in, flying elbow to the head and the ref had the card out before our player had it the ground.

There is something in my memory says he never got a card while playing for Leeds.

Don't think he ever got sent off for Leeds but definitely got a few bookings.

Think the incident we are trying to recall is from either the 91-92, or 92-93 football league season. I believe Vinny Jones was red-carded after a few seconds whilst playing for Sheffield United against Man City at Maine Road.

I cant find anything about Vinnie Jones red card after a few seconds but I found this

"Jones was sent off a total of 12 times in his career, a record second only to Manchester United's Roy Keane with 13. He does however hold the record for the quickest-ever booking, for a foul on Dane Whitehouse after just THREE seconds of Chelsea's League game against Sheffield United in 1992. "

We do have an Other Sports forum for discussing association football and other other sports.

of course, there is always the 'urban myth' that a footballer once got sent for after 1sec. After the ref blew the whistle to start the game, he turned round and said "f****** ell ref, that was loud" and got carded for swearing





Prob not true, but bloody funny

Steve Hampson against the Kiwis at Elland Road springs to mind as a fairly early bath.

Its all hypothetical because unlike Adrian 'High shot' Moreley Aussie players know how to play the game and can usually keep their shots below head height.

Sadly poor old Adrian never quite grasped the concept and ultimately paid the price when the Chooks sent him back to England as he spent too much time suspended or injured because of his poor techniques

In Australia anything below the temple is not considered a high tackle

I assume that good looking lad Danny Brough played his entire career in Australia then??

His forehead resembles the front end of an Intercity 125 train

No, he's just ugly because he's from Yorkshire.

All things aside though, it was actually a bloody good hit that Morley put in, but it cost us.

Poor old Barry, still trying to front the illusion that he is Australian.



Did they turn down your application AGAIN









Morleys hit was a beaut, if it had happened in state of origin, the aussie commentators would have been creaming their knickers.

Well.. except it wasn't good.

It got him sent off.

If it had been a good shot it would have been legal. But then thats ultimately what cost him his NRL career.


The thing that made it for me was seeing poor Adrian sooking his eyes out in the dressing room afterwards




Real hard man he was eh??

Why not?

I'll be diplomatic and say that they allow their inbred national pride and desire to win colour their judgement

In that case I'll also be diplomatic and say that even if an Aussie ref had sent off one of our second rowers in the 2008 RLWC match at Melbourne we would probably still have won by 52 -4

Don't know about sending offs, but this must be one of the fastest tries ever.

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eWzDUoDwSISwinton demonstrate wonderful ball fielding abilities and concede after 8.8 seconds against Rochdale a week or two ago.[/url

If that's not permitted, search for "Fastest Rugby Try Danny Samuel" on the usual site.

Same old Barry, loose a debate then change the subject.

PS what is the [iour[/i, you're british

The convict was nearly on he's knees when Mozza cracked him, Ganson i think it was had an ideal oppertunity again to make a name for himself and send him of for a perfectly good tackle

!

When I played under 16's I was sent of after 7 seconds for fighting
