Left winger takes the ball passed the right back whilst going down the wing. Right back attempts to block the run and both players go down as I award the direct free kick.
The winger then in frustration has a pop at his opposite number which when I had a few goes on the whistle defused. However I cautioned the winger for unsporting behaviour and adopting an Aggressive attitude for his lash out.
The question is this- should I have reserved the direct free kick as the yellow yard is the more serious offence despite it happening after the original offense with the ball technically out of play?
Cheers
