39th min - Anthony Taylor in the middle. A nice little microcosm of everything that is wrong with the handling of dissent on TV that makes football such a mess lower down the pyramid.
No dissent of note up until this point, unless you count Rafa trying to educate AR1 that the whole ball has to be out for a throw in!
Anyway, 39th min, Kennedy is not happy about a throw in decision, complains, then shakes an arm/fist, then clearly says "filho da puta" at Taylor.
Just the arm gesture is enough for a yellow card depending on the context. The language makes it an easy yellow. To do absolutely nothing is criminal.
Any grassroots/amateur league referees watching... this is exactly that first dissent in a game moment. If you do nothing, you will be on the back foot and be made to pay. You've already lost. If you really can't justify the YC at least stop the game and give the player both barrels and a very clear warning that the whole family can understand.
