I'll Decide ...
This Green No 8, regardless of his age is flouting 3 aspects of the LOTG, all 3 of which are cautionable.
1. Failing to respect the required distance....
2. Delaying the restart of play......
3. Unsporting behaviour......
Nail it next time, straight away. (No need for cards).
"Number 8, the next time I see you stand over that ball after I've given a free kick - you will be cautioned. Stop it now. Last warning."
Of course, you'll have to stick by your guns and issue the yellow if/when he does it again, but when he or his coach bleats about it - just quote what's written above. Like DaveMac said earlier, it's primarily about educating youngsters first in this instance.
