When you've gotta go, you've gotta go and the call of nature was too much for Salford City goalkeeper Max Crocombe, who was sent off in his side's 2-1 away win at Bradford Park Avenue this afternoon.
The Ammies, who are backed by Class of 92' members Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, Phil Neville, Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs as well as Valencia owner and mega-rich businessman Peter Lim, came away with a hard-fought win in the National League North.
But their task was made that much more difficult when Crocombe, the 24-year old from New Zealand, saw red in the 87th minute.

Initially, there was confusion galore as to what he had been given his marching orders for, with both club's Twitter accounts having no idea whatsoever.
However, it soon transpired that Crocombe, formerly of Oxford United and Carlisle United, desperately needed a piss and couldn't hold it in anymore,
As quoted by the BBC, Bradford PA's secretary Colin Barker said the following about the incident:

"He was told by the steward twice not to do it and he went ahead and had a pee.
He went to the side of the stand as I understand it. I didn't actually see it, but the referee definitely sent him off for it because he was alerted to it by his linesman."
The sheer absurdity of the incident, which is proper Sunday League stuff, has led to it well and truly blowing up on social media.

The man himself has taken to Twitter to apologise for his conduct, saying:
"I'd like to sincerely apologise for the incident today. I was in a very uncomfortable position and made an error in judgement which spoiled a great win.
"My intention was never to offend anyone and I'd like to apologise to both clubs and both sets of supporters and it won't happen again. Max."
Crocombe has proper taken the piss today...
