So far I’ve only been doing youth games and haven’t done too many (started last season so everything’s been interrupted, once I get a string of games together and build confidence I might consider a change)
Still I feel my card count is very low. As in, it’s 0. After 20 games. I know youth football has a very low rate of yellows from my time playing (I saw 7 yellows and no reds in 13 years of playing from U6 to U18) but the standard of refereeing tended to be quite poor in terms of tolerance. The yellows were probably reds (and still didn’t tend to be submitted into the league) and a yellow card offence wouldn’t be booked.
I didn’t give too much thought into it, but reading on here has made me question whether it’s enough. I know every games different but not a single yellow card offence in 20 games? Has anyone else experienced this in youth football? Is this just the way it works? Am I just incredibly lucky? Too lenient? I know it’s hard to judge without watching me, just give me a general idea of what you’d expect at this level if you can. Thanks very much
