Red Card For Wrong Player

The referee shows the red card to the wrong Millwall player in the FA Cup match against Bradford. I presume the right player, Mark Beevers, owned up and eventually went off?

English referees are known for that.

Not sure about that. I can only remember it happening once (Ox/Gibbs). Any others?

Its probably better to be known for that than match fixing though eh @MIP

I also forgot match fixing, spot fixing and giving out 3 yellow cards to a single player.

What match fixing and spot fixing?

Never mind colleague. It is not important. Let us come back to the topic.

To the topic: I haven't watched the above video since I am living outside UK. BBC website says "Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory"

No, quite. It is more prevalent in Kenya and surrounds as I'm sure you're aware.

Couldn't really see it from the clip, but it did look like the correct player owned up
