       > I found it quite interesting that Andy Woolmer seemed to put
       his red and yellow out the same notebook! I’ve not seen that at
       quite a high level before. It looked like he had one red and one
       yellow in the same notebook. I’ve seen some referees have a
       notebook with two yellow cards in but never have I seen it that
       way at such a high level.

       Danny Makkelie had both cards in his notebook until quite
       recently. I think he's gone back to having them in separate
       pockets again now but only the last month or so.

       If I were officiating I’d use Simon Hoopers’  style of cards,
       one with the notebook inside with the cover all yellow.
       However, I’m not sure where he gets his from.

       The long lamented A&H used to sell a notebook with a yellow card
       on both sides of the inside front cover and a red on on both
       sides of the inside back cover.  You could then use the notebook
       to record the caution / sending off and then use the appropriate
       inside cover to show the card.  Simples.

       Are you seriously asking that question?  He's thrown the ball at
       a player not looking at him, not with any force so it isn't
       violent conduct, but he then does it again.  Once he might get
       away with, twice he is really asking for trouble, and doing that
       when already on a yellow card is just sheer stupidity.
       [/quote]
       He didn't throw it AT him, he threw it TO him, twice.  Too often
       teams get away with blatant time wasting with no attempt by the
       referee to deal with it.
       [/quote]
       No, he threw it at him, I did say without any force but I don't
       see how there can be any doubt that it was thrown at him, twice,
       and on both occasions the opponent wasn't looking.  Had he
       rolled it to his feet and he then didn't pick the ball up then I
       agree, you are then in the grounds of cautioning for delaying
       the restart, but he didn't.  He tried to take the law into his
       own hands and it backfired on him, he only has himself to blame.
       [/quote]
       So do you think he threw it at/to him because he wanted to hit
       him (gently) with it or so he could get on with the game ?  And
       the reason the opponent wasn't looking the second time was
       because he was too busy feigning a pathetic potential injury
       after having the ball bounce gently off him. Which player was
       the greater afront to the integrity of the game? I know which I
       think and I think anyone who thinks otherwise, including
       presumably the way past his best Andy Woolmer, is lacking in
       empathy for the game.

       He threw it at him to get a reaction, especially the second
       time.  In any case, it appears he wasn't sent off for the ball
       throwing, rather what he said to the referee afterwards.
