Welcome To The Jungle Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 So I was watching a game a few weeks ago and a player committed an offence that I felt justified a yellow card for two reasons. A similar and more obvious example would be Chiellini's foul on Saka in the Euros final last year. It was a professional foul, which would make it a yellow card, but he committed it by dragging Saka to the floor by his collar, which would also be worthy of a yellow card, regardless of the circumstances. Can referees do this, and if they can, should they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRFTG Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 Dean Windass was sent off 3 times in one match when playing for Aberdeen, the second and third of which were for continued dissent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight reds can be appealed whereas a red from 2 yellows cannot. If neither offence was deemed worthy of a red card, then to give the straight red would probably result in it being overturned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same thing, so no you can't give two yellows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
