Bath City get knickers in a twist
Bath City had five players sent off as an FA Youth Cup tie descended into farce following a row over underpants.
Bath manager Billy Clarke was also shown a red for dissent after the first of his players was sent off for the underwear violation 20 minutes into their eventual 6-0 loss to Newport County in the FA Youth Cup qualifying match. The BBC explains:
Underwear must be the same colour as the shorts but Bath's white pants were visible below their black shorts.
"It was all very surreal. I was angry with the officials," said Bath managing director Paul Williams.
"Why didn't the officials check the colours before the start?"
