The British football star, who plays for Los Angeles Galaxy, was watching a match at his second son Romeo's sports club when a youngster was handed the punishment for a foul and sent off.
The decision didn't sit well with Beckham and the star confronted the referee - only to be given a red card too before being booted out of the park.
He tells chatshow host Jonathan Ross: "I was watching the kids play the other day, it was the younger kids of Romeo's club, and there was a penalty given, and the kids are seven years old and he sent the kid off. And I was like: ‘Come on, he's seven, referee, you can't send him off.'
"He looked at me and was like: ‘Yes, I can.' And he came over and gave me a red card. He told me to get out of the park. For real. The gate was only 20 yards away and I waited and went back in when my son's game was on."
