Rescinding yellow card after game

[police_bhoy]

I am genuinely interested in getting feedback to this situation.
The referee cautions a plyer and gives a free kick. The free kick is taken, the ball goes out for a corner and then the corner is taken, before the referee blows for full time.
As the cautioned player now has accumulated four yellow cards, he must serve a one game suspension. The coach informs the referee of this and tells him that he hopes thast the referee does the right think and not put the yellow card in his match report.
The players and officials leave the field of play. Two hours later, the referee submits the match report nd does not include the caution. When asked why, the referee states that he changed his mind.
Is this allowed? Can referees rescind yellow cards after a game? I know they can rescind a card on the field of play (VAR/advice from assistant etc).

No this is not allowed. If, post game, the referee genuinely believes he has made an error in law, he should submit the cards as usual but then send a note to the relevant County FA with his reflections.

Short answer - no

Assuming we have an accurate statement of facts in the OP, for me this is one of the worst kind of LWR we can get. As a referee administrator I would first confirm the facts and if so a good suspension is in order.

Five yellow cards before the end of August is quite the achievement.

Absolutely can't do this and if you know for a fact this happened then really it should be reported to the relevant people. As others have said, if he thinks he was wrong in law he can let the CFA know and they can deal with that.
