TOP 5 CRAZY Referees Vs Players Moments / When Referees ATTACKED Players

Hello friends! We know a lot of cases when the players swore at the referees during matches, but we hardly remember those occasions when they argued with the players themselves! We have gathered just such examples in this video!

Kieran Gibbs sent-off

Six years ago, Arsenal and Chelsea met at Stamford Bridge in the London Derby. During the 16th minute of the game, while at the score of 2:0 in favor of Chelsea, the referee Andre Marriner sent off the wrong Arsenal player for a professional foul!

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain handed the ball out of the Gunners' goal line and Marriner awarded a penalty, but for some reason sent off defender Kieran Gibbs who was on the sideline. Oxlade-Chamberlain immediately ran up to the referee and said: "It was me, not him!" However, Marriner didn't care and sent Gibbs to the dressing room!

Too obscure for a simple mistake and we will assume that the referee had something personal against Kieran, because how else to explain his persistence after recognizing the real culprit?

Anyway, after the loss of the defender, Arsenal finally collapsed, suffering a 6:0 defeat, but it's good that in a matter of time after the final whistle, the Football Association still “cleaned up” the matter after Marriner, canceling Gibbs's suspension.

Bjorn Kuipers vs Neymar

Bjorn Kuipers is among the most principled referees out there. He has a tough character and can’t stand players trying to convince him to doubt his decisions! Kuipers once felt a special sort of enmity for Neymar.

At the 2018 World Cup, the Dutch referee served the Brazil vs Costa Rica game and Neymar was of course in the spotlight. He most often collected fouls on himself, though Kuipers did not believe every Neymar’s falls. Throughout one of the episodes, the Brazilian fell down and furiously demanded a free kick, but Kuipers did not like the player's excessive behaviour. He gave him a yellow for diving and then ordered him to close his mouth and go to hell!

Now that was too hard to hear from a referee! Neymar did not expect such a response and actually stopped putting pressure on Bjorn!

No doubt, this guy doesn’t allow himself to be offended and knows how to show even the most emotional football players their place!

Messi's yellow card

Well, it's still possible to calm Neymar down, but what if Lionel Messi himself blatantly breaks the rules? Do you just close your eyes to the chaos, or do you equate him with all other players and punish him with the same severity? In November 2020, La Liga referee Alejandro Hernandez faced such a choice but did not hesitate to take action!

Last November Barcelona played Alaves in an away match. At the 39th minute of the tie, Messi got angry at his opponent for not being shown a yellow card for a foul. The Argentinian snapped by kicking the ball towards the referee and La Pulga just couldn't get away with it!

Hernandez immediately showed him a yellow card, calming the 7-time Ballon d’Or winner! Yes, it was that simple! And yet, looking at the repeats of this episode, it is difficult to argue that Messi kicked the ball at the referee on purpose. Even if we compare this action with those frankly aggressive tricks of Neymar, then Lionel is an Angel! Okay, he released quite a bit of unnecessary emotions, but this leg swing is more like a disappointment with the game episode, and not a specific complaint against the referee. Despite this, Hernandez decided to show that he is in charge, not Lionel!

Disappearing spray in the face

Diego Carlos sent-off

Howard Webb vs Lewis Holtby

Marcelo sent-off

Attention: it’s not about Marcelo from Real Madrid, of which you are thinking about right now! No, the victim of the referee in this story was Marcelo from Lyon! In 2017, at the Ligue 1 match against Angers, the Lyon defender fouled hard on the opponent, receiving a yellow card in the 50th minute. An ordinary occasion, if not for everything that happened afterwards!

While turning his back to referee Mikael Lesage, Marcelo waved aside in frustration simultaneously as the official lowered his hand with the card. Consequently, the Brazilian player accidentally knocked it out on the lawn! Lesage decided that it would be too long and tiring to bend down to collect the fallen card. And why does he need it anyway, when the red one is much closer! He just had to reach into his back pocket!

Marcelo was sent off for absolute coincidence when the score was 1:3 in favor of Lyon. The loss of the defender struck the team hard and in the end Angers were able to get things done to a 3: 3 draw ... We can put the blame on Marcelo, state him being a clumsy fellow, partly this is also true, but still it’s a nonsense that his move was regarded by the referee as something rude and offensive!

Another rule for players: you cannot wave your arms not only in the penalty area, but also when receiving a card!
