The Ref Stop

Birmingham Vs Pompey

The Ref Stop
the only one who got booked?

it's a sh*thouse thing to do, definitely unsporting...but a caution definitely a stretch, it's a totally normal football action after the defender chose not to play the ball
 
An example of the benefit of using voice - "Going to the other team, gents"
That creates a social contract and makes the required outcome clear.
That said, on the basis of the video the attacker who played the ball did nothing wrong in law, and was very restrained when the opponents grabbed him. A caution seems harsh.
