Rugby Park linesman vomits on the touchline – and then gets shown a red card

Think refs lack a sense of humour? Not Craig Thomson as he shows he’s game for a laugh.

Assistant referee Andrew McWilliam has a quick vomit

An assistant referee vomited on the pitch as he ran the line at Rugby Park today – and left on-lookers sick.

And if he thought he was due any sympathy, he was to be left severely disappointed.

Because instead of an arm around the shoulder he was shown a red card by the ref.

Andrew McWilliam was the far-side linesman in the clash between Kilmarnock and Dundee .

Craig Thomson shows assistant referee McWilliam a red card as Jones sees the funny side

But in the early stages of the game he took ill and started spewing on the sidelines.

And in a rare moment of humour FIFA referee Craig Thomson showed him the red card as players erupted in laughter.

Even McWilliam saw the funny side, and was to continue officiating.
