Question for a ref

[CoachMikeLHS]

Here is a classic. Player gets a yellow early in the game for a late tackle. Late in the 2nd half, commits another one, but no card is shown. Play resumes. Ball goes out of touch, and coach subs the player. Just to make sure he doesn't get another. After the match, and players have left field, the ref comes over to the player and says, I forgot to give you this. Shows a yellow, then a red.

Is this right?

No. Cards can only be shown at the next stoppage after the offense (if an advantage is allowed to play out). If that happened, that red should not stand.

 

That's the procedure for USSF, at least.

This was a high school game. So TSSAA may have a different law implied.

You are correct even for High School.

Wow, if that team won the game, then the losing coach would have a really good gripe. Because depending on the score and time left in the game, that team should have had to play short the rest of the game.

It would have been a soft red so the player would not be allowed to play but the team would not have to be shorthanded. Only a straight red results in playing with 10 men. This is one of the big differences between High School and Professional Soccer.

Online, TSSAA changed that rule this year. The team would have played down.

Thanks, I was not aware of that change.
