Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The incident occurred in an FA Cup first qualifying round tie. Matthew Ashton – Images A goalkeeper was sent off in an FA Cup tie for “urinating in a hedge” during a first qualifying round match.<\/p>\n

Blackfield & Langley FC’s Connor Maseko was caught short in the 76th minute of his side’s 0-0 draw against Shepton Mallet FC when the ball went out for a goal-kick.<\/p>\n

– Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, MLS, more (U.S.)<\/p>\n

The referee decided to show Maseko a red card for the incident, with Blackfield & Langley co-manager Conor McCarthy saying “sometimes when you have to go, you have to go.”<\/p>\n

“The ball went out for a goal kick,” McCarthy told the BBC. “He needed to go to the toilet so he went up against a hedge and their players started shouting saying ‘what’s he doing?’ to the ref. The ref went up to him and decided to send him off.<\/p>\n

“He protected himself. He was inside the hedge. Sometimes when you have to go, you have to go.<\/p>\n

The replay of “urinate gate” is Tuesday 6th September as @bandlfc make the trip back to The Playing Fields in the @EmiratesFACup. After an unusual red card in the first tie (possibly a first) we are looking for a match sponsor. Plumbers or portaloo companies, take advantage!<\/p>\n

\u2014 Shepton Mallet AFC (@Mallet_AFC) September 3, 2022<\/p>\n

“I was gobsmacked. I didn’t expect that [the red card].<\/p>\n

“We’re all pretty shocked by the decision.”<\/p>\n

The tie will be replayed, and Blackfield & Langley’s official account tweeted to say they hoped they would get “plenty of toilet breaks on route” while Shepton Mallett also posted to say they were looking for a match sponsor, urging “plumbers or portaloo companies” to take advantage.<\/p>\n

“See you Tuesday evening (hopefully get plenty of toilet breaks en route),” Blackfield & Langley said.<\/p>\n
