Left It All On The Field: A Soccer Stadium Announcer Made History By Getting A Red Card As He Was Wandering Around Celebrating A Goal

[Source] - But upon netting their third goal of the evening, and subsequently putting themselves out of sight of Basaksehir, the celebrations quickly turned sour when madness ensued on the touchline.

A fracas between both sets of players and staff broke out, with the referee dishing out red cards to coaching staff for both sides.

But the most unbelievable moment came when the official showed a straight red card to the Craiova stadium announcer - who was still giving it his all into the microphone celebrating the Romanian club's third goal

Love this guy. Every team in every sport needs an announcer willing to get ejected for celebrating a goal and wandering around with he mic. No clue was the dude was doing on the field with the microphone but I'm also not familiar with Romanian soccer traditions, so maybe that's just normal there. Either way, this man became the first announcer to get ejected for celebrating. Hilarious watching him not stop talking into the mic as the ref gives him a red card.

I think I've said this before but soccer refs are too big of assholes for me. The way they strut around and demand you come to them so they can show you a card, it's the worst. No one has ever looked more smug than the ref giving an announcer a red card. Not even sure how that works, announcer can't get penalized, not like the team goes a man down because the announcer gets a red card. You just boot them outta the field, plus what can the ref do about an announcer? 

Give this announcer a raise. If he's willing to take a red card for the team in the middle of a fracas on the touchline, he can announce for my team any day of the week. Dude apparently knows how to piss people off and he has a mic at all times? Use that to your advantage.
