FANS were all left saying the same thing after the referee sent off a Shrewsbury player in hilarious fashion.
The Shrews lost 1-0 to opponents Accrington in both sides’ second game of the season in League 1.
But it is a match that will likely only be remembered for the viral moment when Shrewsbury’s Tom Flanagan was dismissed in the 57th minute.
He was caught up in a penalty box melee and could be seen chucking Accrington’s Sean McConville to the ground in the dust-up.
Eventually the referee calls him over and dismisses him by showing him two yellows.
What the referee said as he delivered the bookings has left many fans amused.
