This relates to a specific incident in a pro game, so please move if necessary.
In the Middlesbrough v Reading game yesterday, a Reading defender fouled Adama Traore on the edge of the penalty area. The ref stopped play, signalled for the free kick and took his book out of his pocket. At this point the same player booted the ball away so it almost reached the halfway line. He was cautioned for something, but from the stand obviously you can't tell which.
I believe there's no reason in law that he couldn't have received two cautions at the same time, and so been sent off. Other than the fact that the first caution hadn't been issued by the time of the second offence, it's no different to the incident with Morata the other week. Am I missing anything?
