Has a player ever been shown a second yellow card while being substituted? | The Knowledge

There have been instances where a player has been shown a second yellow card while being substituted. In 1980, Stoke City's Denis Smith was sent off for time-wasting after limping towards the touchline with an injured ankle and lingering on it as his substitute Paul Johnson wasn't properly warmed up.

Later that year, Sheffield Wednesday's Jermaine Johnson received another yellow card for kicking a water bottle into the home support after being subbed. This happened after he had been booked earlier in the game for a foul.

A more recent instance came about in 2013, when Clarence Seedorf, of Botafogo, was booked twice while trying to leave the pitch with his head held high.

There are instances where countries have refused to participate in World Cup tournaments due to various reasons. For example, Scotland declined to participate in the 1950 World Cup after finishing second in their qualifying group.

Other fascinating facts about football include instances of brawling teammates, most notably between Tony Rees and Tommy Watson, who both got sent off in a match for Grimsby against Darlington.
 
🤔 I think it's pretty weird when someone gets two yellows while they're being subbed out. Like, what's the logic there? 🙄 The fact that players are still getting booked for doing something like trying to leave with their head held high just seems like an unnecessary hassle. And can we talk about how some players just seem more prone to these kinds of mistakes than others? 😂 I mean, Denis Smith back in 1980, that was pretty questionable too. 🤷‍♂️ What's really interesting though is the whole thing with Scotland not participating in the '50 World Cup because they finished second in their group. That's like, a weird reason to ghost a tournament altogether. 😅
 
I just learned that some football players get sent off even when they're subbed out lol... it's crazy! What I want to know is, why do these guys keep going on like that? Like, what's the point of risking another yellow card or being benched for the rest of the game? It's just a big waste of energy and focus 🤔. Can't they see that football is a team sport and you gotta have your cool when things get rough? It's all about strategy and trust with your teammates, guys!
 
omg i just thought about that rule about not being able to stay on the pitch after getting booked like what if u need to go toilet lol or something? 🤣 anyway, did u know that the world cup has the most viewers ever this year?! i'm watching it with my friends online and we're all so hyped 🎉👍
 
You know what's crazy about football rules? Like, I get it, fair play and all that, but can't they just relax it a bit? Like, if someone's getting subbed and is clearly hurt, why keep 'em on the pitch? 🤷‍♂️ It's not like they're gonna magically recover in 2 minutes. And what's with this water bottle thing? It's just a prank, calm down! 😂 I mean, I've seen some wild stuff on the pitch, but kicking a water bottle at the other team's fans is low even for football.

And I love how sometimes players just kinda... give up 🤣 like in that one case with Clarence Seedorf. Like, what are you even doing, dude? You get booked twice trying to leave the pitch? That's some dedication (or desperation?) right there 😂. Scotland not participating in the 1950 World Cup is cool though, but like, why didn't they just talk it out or something? 🤔
 
idk why refs are still so inconsistent when it comes to yellow cards... like seriously, Clarence Seedorf trying to leave the pitch with his head held high and getting booked TWICE? what's up with that?! 🤯 shouldn't he just be allowed to exit the field without drawing more attention to himself? 😂 but for real, have you seen all those brawling teammates stories? like, Tony Rees & Tommy Watson got sent off in the same game?! 💥 that's wild! and Scotland not participating in the 1950 World Cup because they didn't want to face England... i feel you guys 🙅‍♂️.
 
aww man that's crazy how some players get so emotional on the field 🤯😂 i can imagine being subbed out and just wanting to sulk... but kicking a water bottle into the stands? that's just not cool, Clarence 😒 sorry to hear you had a rough game, at least you tried to leave with your head held high 💪 those Scottish guys who bailed on the 1950 World Cup? that's some pretty serious stuff 🤕 i hope they're okay... and grimsby vs darlington sounds like a wild match 😂
