In a top English football match, Reading's mascot was sent off by the referee in a game against Newcastle United.
The referee defended his decision to give the red card to Kingsley -- a giant lion who wears Reading's blue and white hooped shirt - saying it was confusing him.
Reading's manager Steve Coppell says he can understand why the referee was confused.
He says the mascot looks like so many of his players
