Watched a game this week (as a spectator, not an observer) in which the referee sent the home captain (a qualified referee) to the sin bin for the second time after 60 minutes.
Three minutes later the team's coach made his third and final substitution (no injury involved, so presumably tactical)
After 70 minutes the coach and captain were shouting for the captain to come back on. Request refused, explanation given, coach used language which resulted in a red card for him.
Captain offered the view that the referee should have explained the law.
Match continued after some 7 or 8 minutes . . . and the 10 men lost 1-0.
