Yes.

What are you on about now?

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Is it for when a player refuses to go for a,tackle?

 

[5Ways Gull]

Is it for officials reffing games against teams like united and Villa who have had enough and just want to surrender.

White stands for kind acts

White card issued for first time in Portuguese football match

The card was shown during a women's cup match after medical staff from both sides rushed to help a fan who had fainted in the stands, with spectators at the match between Sporting Lisbon and Benfica cheering and applauding the decision.

If it's for medical emergencies for people in the stands I am confused. Earlier in the season the authorities said they would stop stopping games as there was no need. I am inclined to agree as emergencies never used to interrupt matches and there is always help on hand in any case so it makes no difference.

In England yes. Might be a different approach in Portugal.
Agree it is usually no real need unless maybe it creates chaos in the stands.

Used in Portugal as a show of good deeds done or fair play i believe

It’s just giving referees carte blanche.
