Several footballers have had run-ins with teammates on the pitch, resulting in red cards for violent conduct. One notable incident was between Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane at Old Trafford, which led to Gueye's dismissal. Another example is Derek Hales and Mike Flanagan, who clashed during a match between Charlton and Maidstone in 1978-79.
In 1994, Craig Levein and Graeme Hogg were sent off after coming to blows during a Hearts vs Raith Rovers pre-season friendly. Meanwhile, Graeme Le Saux and David Batty argued over the same ball during a match between Spartak Moscow and Blackburn in 1995-96.
More recently, Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer got into a physical altercation during Newcastle's defeat to Aston Villa in 2005. Other notable incidents include Ricardo Fuller being sent off for hitting his captain Andy Griffin of Stoke City in 2008.
In December 2022, Atiba Hutchinson made his debut for Canada after waiting 22 years since his initial call-up in 2003. The longest gap between international debut and a World Cup appearance is held by Craig Gordon, who has been without an opportunity to play in the tournament for over 20 years.
Additionally, some teams have suffered heavy defeats at home to opponents from lower divisions or other leagues. One notable example is Huddersfield Town's promotion to the Premier League despite having a negative goal difference.
There have also been instances of players being promoted to the international team under managers who are already well-established figures in the sport, such as Dick Advocaat taking Curaçao to the World Cup.

football can get pretty intense sometimes 
like those guys had some serious beefs on the pitch 
i mean idrissa guyeye and michael keane got into it 
at old trafford 
crazy! 
teams can go from superstars to struggling clubs in a blink of an eye 
like huddersfield town's story 
they were promoted despite being shambolic 
️ and then there's atiba hutchinson finally getting his chance on the canada team after 22 yrs 
patience is a virtue, right? 
. 22 years between initial call-up and debut is crazy talk, but he made it happen! I also love how Huddersfield Town defied expectations and got promoted despite having a negative goal difference 
. It just goes to show that anything can happen in football, and surprises are always welcome 
. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to see Dick Advocaat take Curaçao to the World Cup? The man's experience and guidance would've been invaluable 
️
.
football matches can get pretty intense! I mean, who doesn't love a good rivalry on the pitch? But red cards for violent conduct? That's just not cool 
. And what's with all these old stories of players clashing back in the 70s and 80s? Like, we're still seeing it happen today! 
It's like, guys, let's keep our cool on the pitch, you know?
. I mean, I guess it shows that anything can happen in football? And Atiba Hutchinson's 22-year wait for his international debut? That's just crazy long 
.
.
I mean, Atiba Hutchinson waited 22 yrs for his int'l debut! What's going on with those sports leagues? Are they really prioritizing player well-being over a win at all costs? 
! All these crazy incidents on the pitch got me thinking... what's going on with all these red cards? Can't we just sort things out before it gets physical? 
. And can we talk about how some players are taking way too long to get their international debut? Atiba Hutchinson waiting 22 years?! 
. Anyway, it's interesting to see teams getting promoted despite all the drama 
. I mean, Idrissa Gueye vs Michael Keane? That's just crazy talk! In my day, we'd get a telling-off from our coaches and that was it 
. What's the world coming to? I remember when players like David Beckham used to be international stars by their mid-twenties 
. Nowadays, it's all about who can come in out of nowhere and still put up a good show 
.
️. But seriously, shouldn't they be working on turning their team around instead of just waving magic wands? 
You gotta feel for the guy who's been waiting that long to get a chance. And Craig Gordon being stuck out in the cold for so long? That's just heartbreaking 
. It's a reminder that even at the highest level, we're still human beings with our own emotions and flaws.
