Tut tut. The power of the banhamner has gone to his head on 13:40 - Aug 15 by PhilTWTD
I was having a joke with the person I was sitting with! The lack of bookings for cynical fouls had got a bit silly by the middle of the second half.

I reckon the referee forgot to do his arm raising warm ups, that's why there was so few cards. Only way I can process how few cards Stoke got for a lot of those cynical/professional fouls.

I see it’s now a booking if players ask for cards. Led to Rotherham losing a player for, apparently overcelebrating a goal, and then asking for a card. Having seen what Stoke got away with it looked a total farce.

It's an interesting one.
I'd like to know if players are also getting booked simply for telling/asking the referee to book someone i.e without using the gesture itself. If not, it seems pretty harsh. I'm pretty sure it's always been foreign players who have waved the imaginary card, presumably because it's easier than trying to say it in broken English. I don't think I've ever seen an English player use the gesture. Not against it overall, players have got away with a lot for a long time.

Whilst I get the point, there is more dissent being shown through the gesture than the words which the crowd won't be aware of and I think the idea is that the rule changes might lead to greater respect for the officials.
How about ‘he must be getting close to a card ref!’ You are not saying he should be booked but are respectfully sowing the seeds. Who was the Bolton player in the playoffs that was booked for reminding Barry Knight that he hadn’t been booked.

Come for the red card… but stay for the absolute howler that led to the opening goal…
