       Someone who understands FIFA rules can explain this one? I am
       scratching my head

       Leaving the field of play without permission? Doubt the referee
       would have given permission for him to go and sign autographs
       while ball was in play!

       He had been substituted, left the field and then went to the
       crowd, was not part of a goal celebration

       I believe that he entered the stands to sign the autographs
       which under FIFA rules you cannot do. I can think of many
       reasons why this shouldn't be allowed although in this case it
       appears harmless. Them are the rules.....

       Thank you. I guessed there must be something buried in the FIFA
       naughty book
       Good spot by 1 of the officials or overly officious? I know
       which end I stand.
       Had he changed and done it, would it make a difference?

       Probably overly officious however as is said on here many many
       times, you can't pick and chose which parts of the Laws you
       implement or ignore (and yes we all know it happens...)

       Surely that makes it a competition rule rather than the Laws of
       the Game?  Didn't realise you could caution for competition rule
       breaches that don't contravene the Laws of the Game.

       m'learned friend makes an telling submission. He should be
       retained for any appeal.

       Also, you can't blame the referee.  Turning a blind eye might be
       the common sense thing to do, but if he is going to be marked
       down as a result its going to negatively impact future
       international appointment prospects.
       You gotta do what the bosses tell you to do.
