The Ref Stop

What's the latest time in a game you've given a card?

EDIT, got the wrong incident
Yeh, late challenge. Caught him in the foot as defender jumping to avoid contact.

It got pretty willing in the last 25 or so minutes

The mystery remains unsolved!
Ah sorry, forgot to answer…

It was for not releasing the ball, so yes, IDFK, was not a delay of game card but USB - my bad. USB because it was not the first time. The GK and teammates had been repeatedly delaying restarts. IIRC I had already warned verbally, cautioned two players, as well as a discussion with the captain. So, then GK has the ball - we are in added time for all the timewasting in a grassroots match that in this league only has added time in exceptional circumstances - repeated verbal encouragement from me to release, does not, so I cautioned as well as the IDFK.

This was in my 3rd (?) year so I didn’t have the “tools” I have now. But I thought I did a lot to try to avoid sanctions and then to sell them. In this case, the team were frankly NUTS! (Crazy coach, Latin roots throughout the team and they do get into the craziest match situations).
