“A foul is a foul”

Funny one today.

Two identical careless fouls, player slightly ahead of another and the other catches their heels.

First one away defender running back towards goal and attacker does it, defender is winded but there’s honestly nothing in it.

Second one home attacker around the half way line running towards goal on a counter, away defender trips her in an identical way. Yellow for SPA.

Afterwards away manager asks the difference, I explain they’re both just careless, not reckless, so the tackles themselves don’t warrant a yellow but the circumstances of the second warrant it. He says “a foul is a foul”.

“Except when it isn’t” was my reply.
