These 'mouth covering' red cards 21:58 - Jul 1 with 891 viewsZx1988

I understand the reason for the rule, and agree with it entirely, but it all ends up looking a bit playground doesn't it?

Player says something beneath his hand, and the opposition all go running screaming to the referee going 'Sir! Sir! Sir! He covered his mouth!'.

You ain't a beauty but, hey, you're alright.

Yeah, but at the same time, if you aren't saying anything dodgy, why cover your mouth?

I think everyone knows why they should be red cards. I couldn't agree with this rule more. If it's just regular sledging, then there'd be no reason to cover your mouth.

Bad teeth? Bad breath even? An act of charity sees you sent off and miss the match of your life.

They are a rare recent innovation from FIFA that is actually a good thing but they aren't proper World Cup red cards which should be more like Rijkard and Voller or Benjamin Massing.

Canobbio's sending off against Spain, and the subsequent reaction, was more like it.
