Apparently August 15th 1999 (though text gets it wrong with 2019) when Charlie Oatway got sent off for biting a Darlington player ... https://darlingtonfc.co.uk/news/pic-from-the-past-brighton-1999

My favourite thing about that was the radio coverage. The commentary box was really close to the Darlington fans, and the commentators were battling to be heard over their shouting. As the ref was reaching for his card to send Oatway off, the commentators paused to see what card was coming out and a Darlington fan shouted really loudly and clearly "C*nt". There was just dead air for about a minute as they tried to work out what to say. I think was crying with laughter for the rest of the game.
