So a player commits a cautionable offence but you play advantage and make a mental note to administer the caution at the next stoppage. And that comes when the same offender fouls the same player again, again cautionable. I was waiting / hoping for two simultaneous yellows....

i noticed the same thing and nearly posted as such on here!

both were clearly yellow card offences within about 5 seconds of each other...
 
Didn't this double caution scenario happen in a Northern Ireland match last year? Only time I've ever seen it.

Could have been two separate reds!

The trouble is that with cracking down on dissent we're going to get soft reds for not much while hurting an opponent "in a genuine attempt to play the ball" won't even get a card. It's odd that that any tackle from behind, once a red card offence because of the inherent risk of injury, now seems OK even if it leaves the opponent in a crumpled heap.
 
I think Pawson realised he had a problem and sold it well, and will probably have done the caution is persistent infringement - he pointed back down the pitch to the 1st foul and then to where the second was.

Shows why a lot of referee coaches and assessors advise against playing advantage on a caution unless it is a very, very good advantage. You never know what the player you are about to caution is going to do next ..!!
