    David Beckham Got A Red Card

    David Beckham Got A Red Card

    Oh David Beckham, we never in our right minds had you pegged as an embarrassing dad!

    The footballer appeared on the Jonathan Ross show last night and revealed that, while watching his son play football, he was 'sent off' for criticising the referee. Jonathan asked David to elaborate and he told the story in detail:

    "I was watching the kids play the other day, it was the game just before they were playing. 'It was the younger kids of Romeo’s club, and they’re playing in the game and there was a penalty given. And the kids are seven-years-old and he sent the kid off."

    Oh oh. We can see where this one's going...

    "And I was like, 'Come on, he’s seven-years-old, referee, you can’t send him off.' And he looked at me and was like, 'Yes, I can.' And I was like, 'Ok, well, you can’t, he’s seven-years-old.' And he came over and gave me a red card. He told me to get out of the park. For real. The gate was only 20 yards away and I waited and went back in when my son’s game was on."

    N'aw, he got a red card for sticking up for a child that wasn't even his own? That's just too adorable.

    David Beckham, you truly are perfection personified. Hot bod, great dad, general superman. We salute you!

      Yes but Ref has No powers over Spectators !!

      Hey there UK. In California they've instituted rules for spectators since parents have lost control and started yelling at, and occasionally attacking, kids during matches. As a volunteer coach, I'm informed by the league that parents can be ejected and that it's my responsibility to keep them in line. Unfortunately, the refs enjoy that power a bit too much.

      so at what age do you think a player should learn the rules of the game, or do you think they should be like some of the older players who think they can get away with any infringment, and I cant think of anything more toe curling than to have a dad or spectator interfering with the Refs decision on your behalf --Beckham should teach respect

      You forgot "no respect" for the referee, they have to learn young, foul or dirty tackle and you get sent off. Becks by having an argument with the ref has undermined him. Not cool beck not cool

        The upshot of course is that Becks DIDN'T undermine the ref - he got a red card, was sent out of the park and - went .. So the kids learned that the ref is not to be messed with no matter who you are.How is that undermining the ref?

      everybody knows that the referee's decision is final - even if it is a wrong call - come on david, lead by example

      He may be a 'prat'. QT but at least he is our 'Prat'! Incidentally, DB is a great ambassador for sport, not just football, a huge role model to all, not just the kids and a hugely successful businessman - he built up his empire from nothing - didn't come from a wealthy family. DB, all self respecting Englishmen salute you!!
