Deaf football player sent off.
Deaf football (They call it soccer in the USA), player sent off after missing whistle. Kilsyth player PJ will miss next two games after being sent off. A DEAF footballer ended up being sent off in a Lothians cup tie because he kept playing after the referee had blown his whistle.
Philip John Dolan – known as PJ – went on to score a goal, not realising that he had been ruled offside during the Armadale vs Kilsyth match on Hogmanay.
As he turned to celebrate he was immediately given a yellow card for failing to stop playing. The card stood despite protests that he could not have heard the whistle and, when PJ picked up a second yellow for allegedly diving just moments later, he was sent off, leading to a probable two-game suspension.

Oh right! To hearing people, that's your fault for not 'listening'. Damn hearing people!

from my previous comment; I mean from hearing people to deaf people "that's your fault for not 'listening'.

PJ should be common sense to see other players stopped. I agreed PJ suspended two games.
