The Darwin Awards Come To Lisbon

You know that rule which states that if you take off your shirt for a yellow it’s an automatic, non-negotiable yellow? Of course you do, and the great lot of you probably aren’t professional footballers.

Simon Vukcevic either forgot that he was sitting on a yellow or has an IQ of 1, which would also be the highest he can count. The scene is fairly obvious: Vukcevic scores, takes off shirt, gets a second yellow, final score is 2-2 with Fiorentina netting a precious second away goal late.

I don’t know too many who are fans of this ridiculous rule, but if a player is stupid enough to take off his shirt while sitting on a yellow, he deserves everything the ref can possibly hand down.
