Jose Mourinho saw red for the third time this season, as Roma faced bottom of the table Cremonese in Serie A, and he was accused of calling the referee a 'c**t.'
It's fair to say that Mourinho's relationship with authority has not always been the best, with the manager never scared of letting his feelings about officials be known.
The former Manchester United manager had already been sent off twice this season, before Tuesday night, and his behaviour has rubbed off on his other staff.

Earlier this season, Roma coach Salvatore Foti was banned for a month, following his tirade at officials after the Giallorossi were knocked out of the Coppa Italia.
That was against Cremonese, who were yet to win a Serie A game, and still hadn't when Roma visited Cremona on Tuesday night.
Frank Tsadjout gave the hosts a shock lead in the first half, and the visitors manager couldn't have been happy at seeing his side go behind once again to a team with very limited success in the current campaign.

He took his frustration out on the officials at the start of the second spell, and was given a red card for dissent in just the second minute after the half time break.
Fans accused the Portugal manager of calling the referee, or one his assistants, a 'f***ing c**t.'
"Pretty sure Jose Mourinho just got sent off for calling the ref a c**t. In English," one fan said, and it's easy to see why when you try and read his lips.

"Mourinho red card and Roma down 1 to Cremonese - panic button," added a second.
A third posted, "José Mourinho doing Mourinho things. Handed a red card at the start of the second half for abusing the officials as Roma trail Cremonese."
"At this point, Mourinho has more red cards than his actual players," joked a fourth.
Another replied, "Mourinho legit has more red cards than Sergio Ramos this season."

And referencing his previous sendings off, a sixth posted, "It wouldn't be a Roma match if Jose Mourinho didn't get a red."
Cremonese's season has been somewhat of a ridiculous ride, considering they are yet to win a league game by the final day of February.
As well as beating Roma in the cup, they also knocked out runaway Serie A leaders Napoli, who are 18 points clear of second and third place.

However, following Mourinho's sending off on Tuesday they actually went on to win their first league game of the campaign, despite Leonardo Spinazzola equalising for the team from the capital.
Daniel Ciofani grabbed the winner from the penalty spot, in the 83rd minute, perhaps Mourinho will make his players pose for another awkward post match picture as a punishment.
