As bizarre it may sound, a dog just got sent off by a referee in Serbia. A dog who repeatedly invaded the pitch during a friendly soccer match between Serbia's second-tier teams Radnicki 1923 Kragujevac and Kolubara Lazarevac was sent off after play had been stopped several times in bizarre fashion.
Belgrade daily Sportski Zurnal published a photograph on its website of referee Marko Ivkovic flashing a red card to the dog who had chased the ball relentlessly every time it ran onto the pitch before it finally scampered off.

Radnicki 1923, who top the 18-team first division standings at the winter break on 40 points from 17 games, lost 3-0 against Kolubara, who are fourth on 29 points, in the warm-up match.
It¡¯s just been pointed out to me that dogs are colour blind and he probably didn¡¯t leave the field as he only thought he¡¯d been booked rather than sent off... https://t.co/3xLBwEkvS5
