VINE: Furious Brazilian midfielder hits referee with clothesline from hell

Premier League referees would want to count themselves lucky that the worst they have to contend with is players tugging on their top.

It's a whole different kettle of fish in Brazilian football. During a lower league game between Jacuipense and Juazeirense, Jacuipense midfielder Meidson Maciel took umbrage with the match official and came thundering in with a good old fashioned WWE clothesline. Hats off to the referee though, who popped straight back to his feet and responded with a red card (from hell). The offending player could be slapped with a ban as lengthy as a year to go along with a significant fine which is proper order. Vine via 101GreatGoals
