Persistent infringement

[PP62]

So Smalling should have told his players to make sure only players not yet booked should kick Hazard.

No, he should have just done his job as captain when Mr Oliver spoke to him.

Hi
We get told 3 on about 15mins or 5 in the match .

Sounds fair. Although hard to keep track, especially for "5 in the match".

Agreed - I think it's best to avoid these kind of strict rules and work mainly on intuition. If you start to recognise the same guilty look on a player's face a few times, have a word. If you see them foul again, go to your pocket.

5 in a match for one player sounds a lot! Even at youth level guaranteed there will be shouts of "how many more times ref?" after the third...
