Never thought about that before but I’m definitely going to keep this in mind


My view is, how would I like it? Lying face down in the mud then turning round to see ref standing over me brandishing a card...
If you have decided in your mind what you are going to do, then there is no rush
In the clip, there is no mass con or players sprinting in to influence your call.
By all means have the card out, but, show the guy a bit of respect and wait till he is standing up before carding him.
 
I dont think the whole isolation thing has any focus at the higher levels they just want the sanction administering and moving on

Yeah, I wouldn't mind if it was the same all the way down the ladder. In the practical training sessions I had, it was explicitly said not to copy how they do it on the television. No cautions and pointing etc. Isolate, name, card. I'm not really a fan of the isolate procedure personally, but there we are. :(
 
Even on the lower levels here where a yellow isn't a sin bin in NL, players often understand what they've done an want to get on with it. The flashing of a card is generally liked over the slow procedure. Of course, when the game needs slowing down, I'll use that technique, but otherwise it's the card and on we go
Doesn't change the fact that you don't send someone off when they're still sat on the ground

You don't? Why not? I can see holding off a while if the player is injured but even then, if they end up being carried off you should still show the card before they leave the field. If the player is just sitting there for no good reason (trying to milk it for sympathy, often) I don't see anything wrong with it. In this instance it wasn't done in an aggressive or confrontational manner and looked perfectly fine to me. On the other side of the coin, waiting too long before sending a player off can have its own downsides as well and (in the words of Macbeth) it's usually a case of, "If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly."

The lack of control of the ball and the non-likelihood of gaining control.

The other three considerations are met... but not that one.
He had about 15 yards to control a ball rolling (bouncing very low?) in front of him. The only reason he didn't control it was that his 'ball controlling foot' was clipped. For me, there is no question over the likelihood of gaining control had he not been fouled.
