A Question For The Experts

[Mossfinn]

A player was booked twice, two yellow card offences, so not a straight red amongst them, the ref forgets the first and no one gives him a gentle reminder.

The player subsequently finishes the game.

Will he suffer retrospective punishment, or will it be a case of, what's done is done?

It happened last weekend.

I was at the game and the ref had a mare. I believe one of his assistants pointed out his mistake, but the ref then said that he had actually booked a different player, not the one who had been booked earlier. It would be interesting to see the ref's book and the names he wrote in it.

Anyway, I reckon we ought to be given 5 points as compensation.

I wopuld say it would all depend on who the Ref thought he booked first & in wrote in his book which judging by what the previous Poster wrote, wasn't the Man who received the second Yellow so no consequences..

Ref's name wasn't Uriah was it ??

If it was the same player who got booked twice, i don't think there would be any further punishment apart from the fact that the two yellows would go towards the total of 5 yellows for a ban. Not too sure though.

i think it goes down as referee error and the player will get away with one yellow in that case. as m singh says it'll depend on what's in his notebook, but since refs are supposed to write down the player's name and number, he shouldn't have made the mistake.

i used to love 'you are the ref'.

No experts here.

But I think if the same name is in the book twice and the ref realizes his mistake after the match, it will be counted as a red card and that player will serve a suspension next match.

Ouch, that's harsh. As my son and myself were there, I at least know who Mossfin is now as he would have been the third man!

Strange how our tiny crowd makes more noise than twenty thousand spectators plus at a nearby team from the Thames Valley.

Waddya mean third man, I was the Ref, that is why I am asking advice what to do!!
