As we all know, a reckless tackle warrants a yellow card. However, what code do you use to record it? Unsporting Behaviour?
 
The Referee Store
Unless the appropriate FA report method offers a suitable reason e.g. 'foul tackle', then yes, put it down as unsporting behaviour.
 
We have 3 codes for tackels:
Y1 - USB: Late tackle
Y2 - USB: Reckless Tackle
Y3 - USB: Foul tackle from behind.

All of which are Unsporting Behaviour codes, but would depend on where the tackle was made from.
 
Unsporting behaviour - Reckless Play.
 
Is it an FA game?

If not then simply C1 is all that is required at county level. The USB codes are not needed - so says the form anyway!
