Send yourself off.

Andy Wain was having a difficult day last Sunday even before officiating a testing match between Peterborough North End and Royal Mail AYL. So when the North End keeper disputed a goal, Wain lost it, untucked his shirt and squared up. It was an indiscretion and one that couldn't go unpunished. So he sent himself off. "If a player did that I would send him off, so I had to go", Wain explained. "It was totally unprofessional." It's difficult to dispute the principle, although practically it could have been better thought out - with half an hour to go and no referee, the game was abandoned.
