Fans baffled by ‘stupidest yellow ever seen as Burnley star is booked for ‘timewasting’ after just 25 SECONDS
DARA O’SHEA was booked for timewasting after just 25 seconds as fans labelled it the “stupidest yellow ever”.
The Burnley centre-back started in the middle of defence alongside Maxime Esteve as Bournemouth made the trip to Turf Moor.
O’Shea went into the game knowing he had a tough battle on his hands up against in-form Cherries striker Dominic Solanke.
But the Irishman was on a tightrope from the very first minute after his petulant act of timewasting.
The ball had gone out for an early throw in for Bournemouth down their right wing.
But as Solanke held the ball over his head to take the throw quickly, O’Shea hilariously jumped up and headed it out of his hands.
The defender tried to apologise and play it off as an accident.
But referee David Coote saw straight through his pretend innocence and brandished the immediate booking.
