The match of the 3rd round of the FA Cup between Brentford and Wolverhampton (1:1) was an unusual event. In the 9th minute of this meeting, the chief referee Tony Harrington removed from the field football player of the guests Joao Gomez and showed him a red card unusual, oval shape.
However, the use of such a card is not contrary to the rules of football. Moreover, as it turned out, in England during the last few years in some tournaments not only oval cards are used, but also round ones.
This choice of referees is due to the desire to emphasise not only the colour, but also the shape, that it is a penalty and not a warning.
