Here's a curious record that most teams will not be able, or even want to emulate. I came across it by chance recently, but it was a report into an enquiry by the West of Scotland Junior FA into incident which took place in 1964 during a cup tie between Yoker Athletic and Cambuslang Rangers during which the entire Yoker team were sent off when they refused to allow a penalty awarded against them to be taken. Apparently, the penalty spot had been obliterated by water lying on the pitch and the Yoker team were not happy that the kick could be taken without it. Whilst handing the Yoker right-half John Canning, a 7 day ban for ungentlemanly remarks made at the referee's expense, a further enquiry was ordered into the behaviour of the rest of the team. Sadly, I have found no record of the outcome of the subsequent findings. That's excellent research, Yorks! I can't help but wonder how many cards Graham Poll would have handed out that day had he been around to referee that game?!
