Getting sent off for wearing a cowboy hat is a cool way to leave the pitch. and amongst it all "you followed all the rules this week" is a great line. Edited by sitdownstandup (13 Feb 2016 12.38pm)

I vaguely remember a story (can't remember the source) where a player got sent off when the ref blew the whistle and he went "f**k me that was loud". The ref didn't like the swearing and gave him his marching orders. Someone is bound to be able to flesh this out with names and places, I am too lazy.

By the way, if that was referenced in your link then apologies. I can't click the link at work!

It's number seven in the attached link, but there are some other classics in there as well:

Sorry didn't see that you couldn't do links, it says: Not nearly as stellar as some of the other names on this list, but Todd has been unofficially credited with the quickest red card of all time in October 2000. Todd lined up for the start of the Sunday League match between his team, Cross Farm Park Celtic, and opponents Taunton East Reach Wanderers. Todd had his back to the referee as the whistle was blown for kickoff, and in his shock exclaimed: "F*** me, that was loud!" The next sound he heard was the referee blowing the whistle again, this time to stop play and show Todd a straight red card for using foul and abusive language. "I wasn't swearing at the ref or anyone else," said Todd. "Anyone else would have done the same—he nearly blew my ear off."
