A non league clash on Monday sees 5 red cards dished out in Whitehawk v Three Bridges with one outrageous tackle causing a stir..
Whitehawk finished with 9 men while their opponents Three Bridges down to 8 with the latter winning the Isthmian League game 1-0.
After a quiet first half, the game came into life in the 63rd minute when a foul by Jamie Splatt on Bryan Villavicencio ended in a mass brawl.
Splatt, Joe Stone and Noel Leighton were all given marching orders after the referee consulted his two assistants.
This ladies and Gentlemen is why I LOVE Non-League football

After 20 minutes, a poor ball by home keeper Nathan Stroomberg-Clarke gave Leighton the opportunity to score the only goal of the game.
There was another sending off for Alex Malins, which at the time meant both sides were down t nine men, but it got even worse for the visitors when Villavicencio received a red. See it all in the highlights video above.
It was one tackle in-particular that got people talking on social media with footage of it going viral with nearly 100,000 views within 24 hours of it being uploaded.
As mentioned, the non league clash sees 5 red cards and Twitter couldn’t help but read on it, see what they were saying below…

@JosdaCo19943749: Clearly a yellow… and he is not pointing at the ball, he is pointing at the cow field that make him slip 😉
@ThorpKieron: Games gone soft yellow in my day
@markbeard37: That even makes my tackles look tame 🤦♂️
@butcherboy180: Credit to the player that got dropped kicked!! No retaliation. No rolling about. By the it’s a straight Red. Simple.
@BN9_BHA: 😧 😳 WTF is he arguing about?
@AlexWadey1: The best highlights package I’ve ever seen I think 😂
@inmyroomcouk: Very high leg, dangerous career ending sort of tackle. Well done to recipient for not reacting – straight red imho
@ljacques3: How is that lad even pleading with the referee, he should have just admitted the horror of it and got off the pitch before the card was raised
@BeddallStuart: Embarrassing from those players involved, both clubs should be fined and players banned-and what’s worse is they get paid to act like that-imagine being a parent with your kid and explaining that game to them after
@WilkinsonCT: What’s with everybody saying he protested saying he won the ball when they’re clearly pointing to the ground where he slipped?
@Dave_Stacey87: Who cares what he’s claiming, it’s a fucking ridiculous tackle worthy of two red cards 😂
@macpherson_p: Jesus Christ – and he’s pleading his innocence!! A wee bit high mate….
@Dazzla84_SSFC: A wee bit? Any higher and he’d have needed air traffic control 😄
@Mr_Recruitment1: A proper game of football
@Rachelrocket74: That player would have been down for 5 minutes in the premier League!
@Alastair_Ross: Always love you see a player doing the “I got the ball! Look I got the ball!” gesture when the ball’s gone in completely opposite direction to the way it *would* have gone if they’d *actually* got the ball.
@WeveGotConte: If anyone’s looking for some entertainment, this highlight video I stumbled across is definitely one of the wildest 9 minutes of football I’ve ever witnessed 😂
@oria77: “C’mon ref i played the ball, 50/50 challenge…!!!”
@anthonytmufc: If you have a spare 9 minutes then watch the highlights of this game, fucking madness 😂😂😂
@jackbraz29: When people ask me what English amateur football is really like, I’ll show them this footage from now on
@joesweeney4: Premier league, this is how you react to tackles
@VJNicholls: How’s he even tried to argue there haahhahaah
@AgutterChris: This game is carnage.
@byndjspr: Quite possibly the worst challenge i have ever witnessed
@BatFloke: Viewer discretion is advised… including one of the worst tackles you’ll ever see
@Joedenny_10: On my life this one of the most eventful games I’ve ever seen
@LordThomas31: Looool what in the world
@BenBacon9: I’m in the small minority and looks terrible from this angle, but if you saw it live he actually slipped and flew up in the air 😂. He isn’t saying he got the ball he’s saying look at the 5 yard slip mark. Either way it looks unreal 😂
@jamiecog17: By far the worst refereeing performance I’ve witnessed at any senior level.. completely lost control of the game, which lead to a shocking 45 minutes of football
@JakeRobbo9: Sussex police need to have a look at this one.
@MatthewLangley6: Fucking Nora. This is amazingly shit and fantastic all in one
