Salford City goalkeeper Max Crocombe just couldn't control the call of nature mid-match and relieved himself peeing beside the goalpost during the game against Bradford Park Avenue on Saturday. As a result, he was red-carded. 

The news spread beyond the 533 spectators watching the match when Bradford Park Avenue tweeted: "87' - We can confirm that Crocombe has been sent off for urinating during the game. We are not joking. #greenarmy (1-2)"
