Now Notts County midfielder Ollie Norburn has thrown his hat in the right to join the bizarre dismissal society. The midfielder was given his marching orders against Chesterfield on Saturday afternoon after throwing an opponent's boot off the pitch. Norburn was already on a yellow card when his opponent Armando Dobra's boot came off in a challenge and he decided to take things a step further. The 33-year-old flung the loose boot backwards off the pitch, almost striking his own team-mate Nick Tsaroulla in the head. Referee, second yellow card, off you go, early shower for you, Ollie Norburn.'
