A frustrated piggy in the middle Folkestone player got sent off for an altercation with a Billericay keeper and footage has gone viral.
It came in the 75th minute of the Isthmian League Premier Division fixture, with Tom Derry being dismissed for going in on the goalkeeper Sam Donkin, with Billericay 2-0 up at the time.
Another player, Matt Johnson was involved in winding up the Folkestone player, amused fans inside the stadium and on social media calling it shithousery.
They highlighted the absurdity of the situation where Derry’s frustration over a game of “piggy in the middle” led to his dismissal.

Ben Steward delivered an inch-perfect cross for Ashley Nzala who headed into an empty net to put Billericay ahead on 49 minutes.
20 minutes later, Nzaka doubled his side’s lead, Frankie Merrifield keeping the ball in and provided for Nzala in the box who fired into the top corner.
With the game going to a close, Ibrahim Jalloh capitalised on a Folkestone defensive error and curled the ball into the back of the net.

@ShaunHarley06: This is some of the greatest shithousery Iโve seen!!! Hook line and sinker.. Well played ๐๐๐๐
@th3reddot: i mean that is a straight red isnt it
@MorganSmith1000: Most non-league thing Iโve ever seen @matthew_oregan
@EmanOlaj: The fact that he stayed in the middle is beyond me ๐๐. Melt ๐ญ
@steve_merry7: Amazing ๐
@Mark74NUFC: Iโd have fully earned the red card and gone in 2 footed on the keeper after the red card was shown.
@tommygirlinnit: A red was ridiculous for that
@cwarb1: Use your brain manโฆ what was he gonna do once he got the ball – there was a player down receiving treatment so itโs not like the game was ready to carry on anyway!!
@united_boy2002: What a stupid bastard ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
@Tonyjon43690955: 3 times they do it. Just walk off after the 1st one geezer still down injured. Absolute clown. Straight red as well
@lewiscarter11: That striker is a fucking idiot ๐๐๐๐ what a thick cunt hahahaha
@rowjoelane: Love it. @BTFC boys totally taking the piss out of him. Up the #Ricay
@SibsMUFC: I was at this game yesterday groundhopping. One of the funniest things i’ve ever seen on a football pitch.
@alexbishop86: Defender & Goalkeeper had him on strings. A thing of beauty!
@MoorsNeil: Brilliant. So much to unpack. Which one was the match ball? How come deemed only a (second) yellow? What was Derry trying to achieve anyway?! Isnโt that Folkestoneโs fifth red this season? Superb.
@jsouthgatee: Iโm all here for this
@__Fr3nch__: Loooooooooooool ah bro youโve bitten massively ๐๐๐๐๐
@RefereeSouth: I mean, what hope does anyone have when grown men, cannot control their emotions over a playground game and use an act of violence because they feel aggrieved. I understand I may have made this sound a little bit worse than it is and the GK is fined but this is comedy.
@hithisiswes: Greatest red card of all time?
@DougieHeaps74: The best sending off youโll ever see @FIFC
@BenMacca8: The beautiful game ๐

@asguntu: Right call ref, great vision linesman!
@SheridanSparkes: I take back everything Iโve ever said, this is the funniest thing Iโve ever seen on a football pitch.
@ILPadrino1994: How the fuck can he be complaining about that?! ๐๐ blatant red
@8balltiger: Love the ” ‘ Ave it” once he’d got the ball.
@DougieHeaps74: This is the greatest sending off in history lads
@Daniel_Markinch: Acted like a 5yr old ๐คฃ
@SportyJosh6: Get that idiot some anger management classes.
