No. It often results in a caution because it's used to Stop a Promising Attack, which is a cautionIs a shirt pull a mandatory caution ?
Hmm, now wondering if I put a caution through as the wrong code on Sunday. U13s - player had blatantly held back opposition player who'd won the ball off him, but deep in oppositions territory. Spoke to said player and warned him. Five minutes later virtual carbon copy so a caution. Put it through as C1 SP (pushing or pulling). Was that wrong? SPA isn't even a code on WGS?I think we’ve had the debate on here before. There is nothing specific in the Laws that makes “blatant holding“ a cautionable offense. SPA is, in general, where a caution for a tactical foul is punished. To caution for a non-SPA fould for holding, the R would have to conclude it met the general criteria for USB. Some will argue that is making stuff up, as SPA has been defined in the magic book. I think there are very unusual cases in which the nature of the hold is sufficiently contrary to the spirit of the game that It qualifies as unspecified USB. (For those who have to put such a card in a box, it would have to go in the disrespect for the game box.)
Nah, be fine. PULLING = shirt pull.Hmm, now wondering if I put a caution through as the wrong code on Sunday.

Thank you!Nah, be fine. PULLING = shirt pull.
Either FT or TR usually, depending what I remember of the challengeThank you!
As an aside and in advance of it almost certainly occuring in one of my games, what code what you give to SPA, or does it fall under the most soitable other code (eg FT, SP etc)?

Stopping Promising Attack is just a flavour of Unsporting Behaviour so is covered under the C1.Thank you!

Thank you James.Stopping Promising Attack is just a flavour of Unsporting Behaviour so is covered under the C1.
Note none of the FA codes really relate to offences listed as examples of Unsporting behaviour.
The FA code is a data gathering exercise and they aren't really interested in the specifics of what the Unsporting behaviour was but more how the Unsporting behaviour came to be.
So you are quite right in that cautions for SPA we have to select how the SPA occurred which could be a SP, TR, FT (possibly others).
On that, lad I booked Sunday began to hold again shortly afterwards and I shouted at him to let go and he immediately did. I've always taken the view that prevention is better than cure (in this case second yellow then red). I'm due a match day coach visit at some point soon - would doing something preventative like that be an issue?Shirt pulling is very much a 'depends on the circumstances' issue.
Punishment (if action taken), can range right through from simply a free kick, through YC and even a RC (e.g. if it is the means used when committing a DOGSO (S5).
With that caveat that lots of observers/coaches will have their own personal preferences, I suspect it will be seen as a positive.On that, lad I booked Sunday began to hold again shortly afterwards and I shouted at him to let go and he immediately did.

No ”blatant holding” is not in the LotG but has previously been coached (guidelines!) by UEFA etc.I think we’ve had the debate on here before. There is nothing specific in the Laws that makes “blatant holding“ a cautionable offense. SPA is, in general, where a caution for a tactical foul is punished.

If you are due a match day coach, then presumably you are going 7 - 6 or 6 - 5.On that, lad I booked Sunday began to hold again shortly afterwards and I shouted at him to let go and he immediately did.

Get to 5 and decent chance of FA appointments. That's one reason to get there.Thanks @GraemeS and @Kevin0954 - really helpful. I coached/refereed youth football before switching so the comms thing whilst reffing has carried over!
Yes - 7-6. Not really interested in progressing up the pyramid as such (49) but just looking to challenge myself improve.
