Referee - where were his cards?

In the first half I think it was Bong who brought down one of their players and the referee had to go across to his assistant to get a yellow card.

Then right towards the end Lansbury made an obvious foul on Knockaert and he didn't get booked . Just watched it on tv again and the referee looks in every pocket for a card and didn't have them!

How can he lose them twice ? Sunday league game for him next week .

Should have been in charge of the Middlesbrough match last season!

Watching the replay straight after that incident, whilst Albion are on the break and the ref is sprinting up you can see the yellow card fall out of his pocket in the centre circle. It's quite obvious he was gonna book Lansbury but didn't have his card on him. Maybe the shorts weren't quite right?

I thought referees carried two yellow and red cards, one when they want to show a single card, and a second of each they keep together when they want to show a second yellow with the red.

Sure the answer is a couple of extra buttons on his canister. A brief and wispy cloud of yellow or red smoke would make something artistic and punishing. The wrongdoer would walk through the colourful scent of YOU'VE BEEN WARNED or GET OUTTA HERE, learning their lesson as they went.

Thankfully he missed Skalak's first half shin drag. That should have been a straight red.

I thought so too. Dangerous challenge.

I couldn't see the Skalak challenge from where I was sitting in the WSL but my son was watching it on Sky and texted me instantly to say that Jiri was very lucky not to see straight red. Sounds like he got away with one there.

Lansbury was very lucky that the ref had unbelievably lost his cards as seemed destined for a certain booking after the foul he committed. I wondered what on earth was happening when I saw the ref "patting himself down", then failing to produce a yellow. Extremely poor show by a professional ref to have got that wrong in a Championship game.

He didn't according to the BBC's team sheet, and the ref certainly did't produce a yellow at the time

He did according to the Sky page though, and the Albion tweeted that he did.

Mind you, Sky also has this
"Knockaert breaks away down right-hand side, before playing the ball to Baldock who tees up Murray to finish with a neat header."

You don't actually need to show a yellow card for a caution, it's a mere visual indictaor that the player has been cautioned.

There is a new referee kit out this year, maybe the cards don't sit as well in them as the previous years.

In terms of how many cards referees carry, I know some who carry two sets but most top level only carry one and put the yellow in the left front and red in the rear right hand side. image.jpegimage.jpeg
