You've nailed it. He is either a TA occupant or he isn't. That rules out a caution for the manager as we know who the offender is and he either leaves because he isn't allowed to be in the TA or he can stay because he is a TA occupant and has only been cautioned.

Sometimes you just have to be wrong in law in the spirit of the game. This is one of those incidences.

So far off topic. You'll be getting a warning ⚠️ 🤪 Still not changing it back...

Yes, was meaning to dig it all back up again just pointing out that is what IFAB said. Counter points are valid and agreed with, especially an incapacitated ref, as the ARs won't/may not have a whistle to stop play in the event of a foul if the game is continuing under them. A bizarre rule...
