That's unsporting bee-haviour! Burnley mascot Bertie Bee sent off for handing a pair of glasses to linesman



Mascot Bertie Bee was sent off after handing a pair glasses to the assistant referee during Burnley's Championship encounter on Saturday.



Bertie has the crowd in stitches with his cheeky gesture just 15 minutes into Saturday's top-of-the-table clash against QPR.

But referee Simon Hooper failed to see the funny side and sent him to the stands at Turf Moor.

And Bertie also felt the long arm of the law if a picture on Twitter is to be believed, with crestfallen Bertie siting in one of the cells underneath the main stand.

But it all ended well for Bertie as Burnley ran out 2-0 winners to consolidate their place at the top of the Championship.



It is not the first time Bertie has made the headlines. During a match with local rivals Preston, the mascot rugby tackled a rogue streaker before celebrating with an impromptu worm dance.
