Catch the big match yesterday (8 March)? No, not Forest beating Man City and not Liverpool netting three in the second half for a win against Southampton.
I’m talking about the bunch of YouTubers and influencers having a kick about at Wembley to raise millions for charity.
Selling out on the mega London stadium, Sidemen’s annual charity match against the YouTube AllStars once again provided plenty of viral moments for fans with a whopping 18 goals on the board.
And levelling up from a previous trick he’d pulled, one player pulled out a shredder after he was given a yellow card by the referee mid-football match.

Mark Clattenburg was back in his kit as ref on Saturday when he pulled AllStars defender Max Fosh over in the second half.
The comedian had given away a penalty for fouling YouTuber Joe Weller and was instantly booked.
But as Clattenburg pulled out the yellow card, Fosh pulled out a mini shredder from his sock to destroy it.
Although, it was pretty cringe to see at first as the stunt didn’t exactly go to plan.
The 29-year-old fumbled with the card as the shredder simply wasn’t, well, shredding. Laughing at his fail and throwing it to the ground in a jokey tantrum, he realised it wasn’t switched on as he ran back to the ref to retrieve the yellow card.
Finally providing him with his meme-worthy moment, the card was then shredded to pieces as the fan-filled stadium roared.
Users joked on X: “Bro KNEW a yellow was coming.”
As another said: “Hahahahha what entertainment.”
Following the match, Fosh said of the mishap: “I've been working on that shredder for months. I've been testing it every single day.
"When I made the challenge, the batteries came out and I heard no whizzing.
“I threw it to the ground and it caused the batteries to go back into place, so turns out all you need is an Uno reverse card."
And an Uno Reverse card is exactly what he pulled out back in 2023 at the Sidemen Charity Match when Clattenburg served him up a yellow.
It’s a fan favourite moment that at the time they called ‘epic comedy’ and in response to this year’s shredder stunt, they said: “No way he pulled this sort of stunt twice.”
“Blud always got something up his sleeve,” one said.
While some just found the whole thing embarrassed and accused it of ‘ruining sports’.
