Junior/Youth he's already on a booking ref!

[Kent Ref]

Reffing an under 16s this morning and a player on a yellow fouled an opponent going towards the penalty area but away from goal (about 5 yards outside the area).

Possibly breaking up a promising attack but im not sure.

I then have 5 or 6 players from the other team saying "he's already on a booking ref, send him off".

I turned around and said "thanks for your help but it's not phone a friend yellow team".

Said player played no further part as he twisted his ankle and the last 5 minutes played out with no further incident.

Would you have considered the second yellow?

I'm am not sure about the reason behind your question.

Would I consider a second yellow because he is on one already? Yes I would but because it would be a second I would use a more degree of certainty to give it.

Would I consider a second yellow because of the circumstances of 'stopping' a promising attack you described. Yes I would but I would need to know more or be there to see it to be able to say if it was a yellow. SPA has a lot more consideration than what you have given.

Would I consider a second yellow because the opponents ask me to. Of course not.

It’s a yellow card to ask for a yellow card... just remind them of that... soon shuts them up!

Unsportsmanlike Conduct! Like waving an imaginary card!

I use that one as well and it does shut them up quite quickly and stops them asking again

If the play is moving away from goal, it is hard to justify a caution for a promising attack. Sounds like it was not a booking.

While you didn't answer my question, the terminology you used did
