Yellow and red cards were first introduced in the game by British referee Ken Aston and its first major use was in the 1970 World Cup:\nThe cards are shown to the players who have committed a foul. The color of the card depends on the severity of the foul.\nA yellow card is shown by the referee to indicate that a player has been officially cautioned.\nA red card is shown by the referee to indicate that a player has been officially send-off or expelled from the game, and must leave the field inmediatly and won't be able to play the rest of the game.\nThe referee can give as many cards as needed, the amount of card given is related to the number of offences (requiring a card)  during the game.\nDuring one game a player can receive:\n1 red card the player,  and the player is expell from the game and no substitute player can come in. \n1 yellow card (the player has been officially cautioned)\n2 yellows card, which is the maximum allow, and it's equivalent to 1 red card and the player has to leave the match (and that's way the referree after the second yellow shows the red card). And like a direct red card, the player can't play the next game for the team and no substitute player can come in.\nBut during the tournament the player can receive any number of cards.

First question: they do that because if their opponent gets one more fall then he gets a red card then the other team is short on a player.\n\nSecond question: because if there was a score then someone would have made a goal. So there is NO score!!

obstruction whether it is meant or not. player b awarded an indirect free kick. the time when this rule is most abused(ignored by refs)is when a player is "sheilding" a ball to run out of play.the defender hasn't touched it so its not in his control,and he blatently obstructs a forward from playing the ball with no intention of playing it himself.

It has to do with the league or the tournament. \nFor example\n\nIn the world cup during the groups phase if you get two yellows in successive games you loose the next one. If however your team passes to the next round the all the yellow cards are canceled and we start all over again. \n\nIn other leagues if a player get two (or three or five) yellow cards, regardless if the games are consecutive or not them he gets suspended for one (or two or three) games.

Hey there,\nthe referee was too busy holding up time arguing over a foul with a player who had already been red carded and should not have been on the field. If he had of removed the player 1o min earlier when he should have, no time problem, goal to Australia. It should have stood.

Football is played in two halfs - 45 minutes each. That's the actual time of the game. But the referee keeps track of the time lost during the match to attend to some injuries and fouls. These minutes (ranging anywhere from 1-3 minutes) will be added at the end of each half. \n\nWhen the players commit a foul (play against the rules - like obstructing a player physically, causing harm to the players, etc.), the referee will book them for the offence. An yellow card is a warning. A red card means that the player will be sent off immediately. If a player gets two yellow cards in the same game, he will also be sent off (2 yellows equals a red).

when he gets a red card or 2 yellows in the same game. 2 yellows equal a red. Cards are given at the discretion of the referee. If you tackle too hard, do something unsportsmanlike, or malicious. Slide tackling someone without contacting the ball is a card, stuff like that. Punching someone, elbowing, arguing etc.

For some reason the bans don't start straight after the red card...so maybe not.

A referee presides over a game of association football (soccer). The referee has "full authority to enforce the Laws of the Game in connection with the match to which he has been appointed" (Law 5), and the referee's decisions regarding facts connected with play are final, so far as the result of the game is concerned.\n\nThe referee is assisted by two assistant referees (formerly known as linesmen), and in some matches also by a fourth official. The match officials utilise a positioning system known as the diagonal system of control.\n\nThe vast majority of referees are amateur, though they are usually paid a small fee and/or expenses for their services. However, in some countries a limited number of referees - who mainly officiate in their country's top division - are employed full-time by their national associations and receive a retainer at the start of every season plus match fees.\n\nReferees officiating adult competitive international games are required to be selected from the FIFA panel of referees; this restriction does not necessarily apply to non-competitive (so-called friendly) games or youth games.\n\nThe referee's powers and duties are described by Law 5 of the Laws of the Game. [1] The referee's tasks include:\n\n        * enforcing the Laws of the Game;\n        * controlling the match in co-operation with the assistant referees and, where applicable, with the fourth official;\n        * ensuring that any ball used meets the requirements of Law 2;\n        * ensuring that the players' equipment meets the requirements of Law 4;\n        * acting as timekeeper and keeping a record of the match;\n        * stopping, suspending or terminating the match, at his discretion, for any infringements of the Laws;\n        * stopping, suspending or terminating the match because of outside interference of any kind;\n        * stopping the match if, in his opinion, a player is seriously injured and ensuring that he is removed from the field of play. An injured player may only return to the field of play after the match has restarted;\n        * allowing play to continue until the ball is out of play if a player is, in his opinion, only slightly injured;

Two yellow cards in one game means that the player is sent off immediately. The player must then sit out the next game.  Two yellow cards accumulated over the course of more than one game results in a one game suspension within the stage.  Cards do not carry forward into the next stage as all sins are forgiven and all players reset to zero.\nRoy

yes the yc status gets removed if he didnt get a yellow card in the other match like if he gets one in the first game and doesnt get one the second then for the third his record is clean. But if he gets yc on two games in a row then it counts like a red and he cant play in the next match.

It's not going to happen that the referee scores a goal; they are never close enough to the "meta." It could happen that they "unwantedly" prevent a goal, though, but still is very difficult. This is like hopping for a cop to run a red light without noticing.\n\nAnyways, if it happens, I don't think it counts. The referee is supposed to be neutral in the field; thus, any move of the ball which involves him it's not to be validated, unless it doesn't affect the game.

well , only those who have 2 yellow cards will miss the next match, and the ones with red cards. and if someone get a red card directly( I mean if the referee give him just a red card, not Yellow+yellow=red) he will miss next two matches.but those who have only one yellow cards will be in the next match.

Well the whole thing about the teams is that each one tries to get a yellow card at first to be intimidating. then play clean from there. The refs are just over doing it. It's not the players. that ref that game definitely messed up that game with his lame calls.
