Yellow card question

[ReddOrDedd]

Just watching the Manchester derby, and Ireland picked up a yellow for what I thought was not too bad a challenge. He'd already been penalised for a fairly bad tackle on Berbatov, the one that led to the goal.

 

Anyway, what I'm wondering is this: Does a player's previous conduct in a game officially have any bearing on whether he gets a card, or should the decision be taken solely on the basis of the foul that's being penalised itself?

 

Does anyone know the rule?

Must do, because you can get done for persistent fouling, can't you?

I'm not sure - that's why I ask - can you?

Right, well then I suppose you can. Does leave quite a lot of leeway for interpretation, in terms of what the referee considers 'persistent'.

 

Is twice 'persistent'?

My ex wife thought so.

If you read the rules and then watch how a game is refereed you will see that the vast majority of decisions come down to discretion. If the game were played strictly by the rules there would be a free kick every minute. There is so much inconsistency in football because the rules are in reality impractical. Look at the difference in how games are ref'd in Spain vs. here. Same rules, different interpretation.

True enough.

 

I was just curious about the yellow card question, but I think you answered that pretty clearly. Ta.

[ReddOrDedd]

Boom tish. Repped.

[ReddOrDedd]

Boom tish. Repped.

 

 

 

Although I don't know why I repped you when you just negged me on the other thread for NO REASON other than I disagreed with you because you thought Mark Hughes was throwing the game. Honestly.

 

Some people.
