Towards the end of the match, a player appears to headbutt (or at least attempt too) another. Then Grant gets upset about something and ends up with his shirt ripped off. The ref then shows Grant a yellow card, followed by a red (as this was his second yellow).
Now my question is about man managing, something has happened to make the player (Grant) react in the manner that he does. Reports from fans that side of the pitch is that another player was racist towards him( although this can not be proven, it would explain the reaction) So, should the ref, not have taken him to the side and spoken to him about why he was upset, rather than using the cards to manage. If it was down to racism the ref has not helped the situation here, by using the cards.
When I started refereeing I was always told that my mouth is better than the cards to manage a match. Recently it seems to be the other way round.
