Agree with the comments that this is a disproportionate
punishment. I don't think the SG referee who forgot to bring his
cards with him got any sanction at all?

Another ridiculous, bordering on disgusting, decision from an
ever increasingly out of touch elitist minority who couldn’t
give a toss about football outside the professional game!

Reminds me of a game I refereed in 2001 between a Nottingham
Forest XI and a local amateur side who were unveiling their new
floodlights. As it was a 'friendly' fixture I joined in the
spirit and presented both skippers with a Jaffa cake instead of
a coin and said "Chocolate or sponge to decide kick off, whoever
guess's right also gets to eat it". The Forest skipper (Alan
Rogers) guessed correctly and when I gave it to him to eat said.
"I can't eat that, if the trainer finds out i'll be for it" - so
waste not want not I swallowed it.
I'd probably be disciplined nowadays and made to undertake
'healthy lifestyle' training :)

Was it Lee Mason who'd forgotten his cards and mimed without
them when he was required to caution a player?

Three week ban... I have seen referees make serious errors in
law (eg giving 2 yellows without a red) and get less. Absurd.

In the early days of red and yellow cards I once saw Norman
Glover caution a player and then lifted up and showed his
notebook instead of a yellow card. Everyone, including Norman,
just laughed when it happened.
For goodness sake, what is the matter with the FA? Presumably by
the severity of the sanction they believe Mr McNamara has
brought the game into disrepute. Well, judging by some of the
shenannigans that the FA has allowed on its watch, they have a
very distorted view of what makes for disrespect.

I have on many occasions forgot to take a coin out with me, when
the skippers came together I was open with them and explained
the situation, I would just say to the visiting skipper ends or
kick off, and that would be the end of it. If the home skipper
said anything, I would just say well you have home advantage let
them have something, that usually got the laugh and the game
went on its merry way. The 'ivorytowers' personnel should be
hanging there heads over this, surely but surely there are more
important issues that they have to administer than worrying
about the triviality of this. However thinking about it, it is
the trivial that they excel at spending time over, rather than
the important issues in todays game.
