I don't think that's right or fair. We are told to punish the physical and manage the technical, this is a classic example where it can and usually should be 'managed'. Clearly we are lacking the context, but this caution on face value seems unnecessary unless the player was an utter dick who had gone past his last chance or the match temperature warranted a caution.

I know it's correct in Law, but at my level at least i'd be expected to manage that. The OP hasn't really explained why the player wasn't allowed on as soon as the throw-in was taken, and it could be that the referee has been seen to cause the offence, so to speak.

You sum up my point well. In the bigger picture, we would be dismissing a player for 2 yellows who has not committed (or at least been sanctioned) for a foul. Bear in mind in no way am I saying that can never be the case but, it sounds like although you can be supported for the 2nd yellow, you can also be supported (subject to conditons) in managing it too

Really? I'm more than happy to delay a player re-entering if I think there's a danger of him gaining an advantage by coming from an opponent's blindside. I thought that was fairly standard practice and I've never had much objection to doing it.

Yes, this is way I've been taught; Allow a player back on when they're not in the immediate playing-zone where they can gain an advantage.

Anything outside that (including the ref stopping play to issue a caution for e.g USB etc) is an IDFK.

That was my logic at the time. I went with IDFK.

Is it not fair? Only if the ref has cause a confusion for reasons you already eluded to. Not right? I guess that depends on if it's fair or not.

My understanding from OP is that the payer knowingly entered without permission 'to help his team'. It wasn't an oversight or confusion in which case I would encourage managing it.
