I was running the line yesterday in an open age game. Yellows where attacking down the right wing (far side from me) and three or four players started a scuffle directly in front of me and one yellow 'kicked' the opposing defender (it was more of a poke, there was no real malice)
I called the ref over immediately to tell him and said I thought it was a caution. He cautioned the player.
There was no doubt in my mind that the kick was nothing more than reckless but should it have been a red card? From my interpretation of the LOTG it's a yellow but I have never seen a ref in pro football do anything but send off the player. Was I right?
