Kid Calls 911 After Soccer Ref Gives Out Red Card During Man U-Real Madrid Match
MSN - During Manchester United’s clash against Real Madrid on Tuesday night, the referee issued a red card to Manchester player “Nani” — sending him off the field. The call annoyed an 18-year-old fan watching the game at home so much that he called 999 (Britain’s 911 equivalent) to report a crime. “The man realized his bad judgment and apologized and we decided not to pursue it further,” said Chief Inspector Ted Antill, sternly asking the public not to waste authorities’ time with nuisance calls.
Now I know we don’t do soccer much here on Barstool, but even I head about this red card. Completely fucked over Man U in the Champions League. I don’t know shit about soccer rules because everyone is always flopping left and right. I think it should be like in the NBA – if you’re going for the ball its not intentional. But then again he fucking kicked this guy in the stomach – soccer players act like they get shot when some kicks their shins, so theres no way a cleat to the gut isn’t gonna get a red card or whatever.
Anyway, enough about soccer. It just got me thinking about this kid who was so upset he called the fucking police to report this blown call. If you could have called 911 on one sports call in history, what would it be? The cops couldn’t change the call but lets say somehow the police at the very least could have charged the umpire/ref/official with a crime and ruined his life. Now for me, my life as a fan is pretty fucking pathetic. Not like I have one call that cost me a World Series or a Super Bowl or anything like that. So as per usual I’m going with my hateful, spiteful self. I’m calling 911 on left field umpire Rich Garcia for his Jeffrey Maier Home Run Call. Its basically the home run that launched a legendary hall of fame career of Derek fucking Jeter. Who knows – if Tony Tarasco just catches that ball or Rich Garcia calls fan interference, everything could be different. The O’s win game 1 and that whole series plays out differently. Maybe no 96 World Series for the Yankees. Maybe no Captain Clutch reputation for Jeter. Butterfly effect, man. That son of a bitch Jeffrey Maier and that idiot Rich Garcia started off a 15 year stretch of Derek Jeter misery for me and all Mets fans. Rich Garcia should die of gonorrhea and rot in hell.
How about all of Montreal calling 911 on chara….
I love these soccer players – shocked that someone got a red card for what looks to be a grazing at worst – spend all their time trying to embellish the slightest touch into a red-card worthy offense. The law of unintended consequences is a beautiful thing.
I seem to have lost the ability to post to any Boston blogs… hmmm…. I guess all the haters win… Congrats fellas…
i know this will instantly be discredited because it relates to boston, but game 2 of the ECF last year (AKA the Rondo Game)… refs had lebrons nuts in their mouths, cost boston the series, not that im complaining.
Rumor has it that several Mets fan wanted to call 911 after watching the team in spring training but it was determined the Mets were already dead.
Right field.
I like how the article put quotes around Nani’s name. That’s not his nickname retard.
@pat bateman, that is not his name. It isn’t even one of the 5 he does have.
How about I call homeland security because I’m pretty sure this video is a secret Al-Queera recruiting video. They have soccer players dilly dallying, (fucking twinkle toed, bros kicking balls around) on screen while in the background Osama Bin Lamin’s god son is barking catch phrases like “If you like what you see, report to Neil, he’s with us!” or “Blow your self up for 72 Renes and a rim job from Pres!”
1985 World Series. – Don Denkinger – Worst call in sports history
Shaun O’Hara holding/bear hugging Richard Seymour and Adailus Thomas getting held/facemasked on the edge during the David Tyree catch… I’d sentence the refs to castration, should have been a sack 11 times out of 10.
I’m calling out Brett Hull on his game 6 “kick in” goal, handing the Dallas Stars the Cup in 1999. Fuck the Stars and fuck Brett Hall. That town should stick to playing shitty football.
Nani’s real name is Luís Carlos Almeida da Cunha. Nani is his nickname fucktard.
brett hull in the crease robbing the city of buffalo
mr bateman his real name would be Luís Carlos Almeida da Cunha so yes nani is a nickname
tuck rule
Kent Hrbek pulling Ron Gant off the bag in the 1991 World Series. Fucking horrible call. And since I was 12 or 11 at the time it woulda been ok to call 911. Hated the Twins ever since.

Armando Galarraga’s perfect game call
I’d like to murder Bernard Pollard and then dial 911. Similar to the situation at the end of Slingblade.
I almost called the cops after Jose Offerman got called out after not being tagged by Chuck Knoblauch in the ’99 ALCS.
@buster hyman – problem with the tuck rule is it was called correctly according to the rule book so you couldnt charge the refs with any crime. maybe charge the NFL with putting a dumb rule in there to begin with i guess.
That Turkish cunt of a ref has fucked over English teams a plenty in the champs league. SAF should have started Rooney and Valencia and had Nani come in around the 60th minute. Like Jose said “The best team lost”
2010 NBA Finals Game 7…Lakers shot like 25 more free throws than the C’s, very fishy.
Montreal Screwjob
@harryjohnson next morning you could find me pulled over vommitting on the mass pike after drinking myself into bolivian due to depression

100% call the cops on ed hebner in 1997

i would call the cops on the whole game six of Lakers Kings in 2002. Most blatant rigging of all time.
I doubt it counts cuz Tim Donahey admitted/claimed that the game was fixed in order for the series to go 7, but game 6 of the ’02 conference finals, Lakers vs Kings. Especially the 4th quarter when the Lakers took 18 more free-throws in a single fucking quarter. There’s a dramatic video of it on You Tube that’s like 8 parts long and kinda good called The Greatest Tragedy in Sports. The Kings were a cool team that year with C-Webb in his prime, Peja averaging over 20 a game, Bibby, and freaking Vlade Divac playing well.
Any fan of NBA needs to know this part of history and that the ’02 Lakers 3-peat was an absolute shame. Again the video is a bit dramatic but 100% worth the watch! Part 5 sets it up but this link is the one worth watching, fucking Lakers. WATCH IT

I know he’s not an official but I’d like ruin Jeffrey Maiers life anyway if its all the same to you
this is disgusting. they should have brought this kid in the middle of the field and had one of the players fake kick him in the shin to set an example
jeffrey maier , next guest on KFC radio?????????
Beowulf37, way to pull that one out of the mothballs! “Butterfly effect” indeed.
Gotta call 911 on the no-call of Charles Smith getting murdered by Jordan and Grant in 93. Or the no-call of Jordan pushing off Byron Russell in 98 in Utah. Both brutal no-calls.
Good job Stoolies, now let’s get that dipshit imtough outta here on the rest of these sites too
Chuck Knoblauch’s phantom tag on Jose Offerman, forget the year.
Offerman is a huge douchebag though.
Eric Gregg and his god damn 8 foot wide strike zone in game 5 of the ’97 NLCS. I’m still pissed.
