Goalkeeper of the Italian Serie D club "Messina" Armando Prisco was removed from the field during the match against "Igea Virtus".

The goalkeeper received a red card from the referee for writing during the match not far from his goal.

The footballer admitted his mistake, but was justified by the fact that he drank a lot of water for a day.

"I drink 2-3 liters of water every day. As soon as we arrived at the stadium I went to the toilet, then again - before the warm-up, and again - when we returned to the locker room, and also - during the break in the match.

I just could not take it anymore.. And when the match was stopped to make a substitution, I decided to take advantage of the situation. I pretended that I was stretching for a billboard.

No one noticed me there except the judge.

I apologized and did not argue, because I understood that the referee did everything according to the rules. I want to draw your attention to the fact that I did not do anything indecent. I know that there were many children at the stadium, so I tried very hard not to notice my actions. I understand that I did wrong, but believe me, I could not stand it any more, "Prisko said..

Note that the match itself ended in a draw (0: 0).
