Reffing an under 16s this morning and a player on a yellow fouled an opponent going towards the penalty area but away from goal (about 5 yards outside the area).
Possibly breaking up a promising attack but im not sure.
I then have 5 or 6 players from the other team saying "he's already on a booking ref, send him off".
I turned around and said "thanks for your help but it's not phone a friend yellow team".
Said player played no further part as he twisted his ankle and the last 5 minutes played out with no further incident.
Would you have considered the second yellow?
