Players receive red cards in Brighton vs. Lehi semifinal match

[@ChiefBerry]

Both players were each given a YC. Referee must have know that the second player was on his 2nd YC as the RC followed. The procedures was a little strange. YC to one, YC to the other, then the RC for the 2nd YC. Then a RC to the first player. I think he released then that this was the first players 2nd, and not his 1st, YC hence the delayed RC.

[@neymarjr2764]

ChiefBerry I'm sure he was meant to give a straight red for the first player, and the second player was already on a yellow. So he had to give a yellow to make a red

Kinda hard when you have another player in your face yanking at you.

[@andrewsmith9174]

@@raywhichway1790, it was the retaliation that won the red card.

[@andrewsmith9174]

I think that the second blue player involved received yellow. The retaliation by the fouled player was strong enough to deserve red straight off.

[@maconescotland8996]

It looks as if each must have been previously cautioned (yellow card) and when each received a second caution it correctly resulted in both being dismissed (red card). I'd be very suprised if the referee considered this footage merited a straight red card - because a straight red, following a previous yellow, constitutes a more serious level of disciplinary offences - something that not all football fans realise.

[@kanifuker721]

Why is he walking off like he's shat himself?.

[@mbkincaid1]

must have been a fun game if they both got a 2nd yellow. could make a case for purple getting a straight red - orange for sure

[@wedge5896]

I hope his coach made him go pick his shirt up, little cry baby

[@ShinTzaddi]

It's football...everything is an argument.

[@jdski8926]

ref made a good call

Just play the game Some players want to be tough guys all the time

'What? We are in a football stadium'

[@soccerbeastcr]

My teammate got a red card once for standing in front of the ball to many times when the other team had a freekick

[@SuperCabrito14]

I got a red card for shoving an oponnent and yelling, "get up bitch" then spitting on him

[@SuperCabrito14]

OdezZah i know 😔

[@mileschicken1]

depends on the ref. I conceded a free kick and as they put the ball to take it quickly i kicked it away and the ref just gave me a warning without any cards.

[@futuredoc2014]

RogueSaint88 you were lucky. I'm a ref. That is delaying the restart of play and is a cautionable offense. Cards aren't just things we feel like carding. There are specifically 7 things we can give cautions for and 7 things we can send players off for.

[@mileschicken1]

Yeah I had a feeling I was lucky. I play in the top league for our region so you'd be forgiven for thinking we'd get the best refs. As a defender I have to make a lot of recovery challenges and tbh just this season there's been 3-4 I could've easily been sent off for but have received a yellow or no card.

[@equinoxproject2284]

Would love to see a rugby ref do a soccer match. The back talk would end right quick.

[@FishermansFriend-ml7xf]

It wouldn't though would it.

[@joeb2860]

Agreed i ref soccer now and these punks think they own the field. Lack of respect.

[@tombowers6713]

Rugby players definitely talk back but it's usually the backs becuase the forwards are always winded 😂

these guys are on the right field, playing the wrong game...

Soccer, where even kids can mouth of to the refs and it's the refs fault

[@aizekkemp9024]

As a ref i feel this

[@a.d.1563]

Well....Soccer....a name that is just used by like 3-4 countries while a game played 99% with the Ball carried with hands is called FOOTball....

[@navkc135r]

Not this ref; I hustle whiney kids, coaches and parents out of games every weekend.

[@lukejanis2016]

Did they both already have a yellow card?

[@itsinthenet]

That was a bit confusing what the referee did. What was the call. Were both players carrying yellows? Were the yellows given to two different players?.

[@joeloon545]

itsinthenet yellow given to both players. But the boy in white had already one yellow for a different offense

[@mileschicken1]

the ref flashed another red card to someone off the frame though?

[@hockeyman1]

He gave both second yellow. Not realizing they BOTH been already cautioned

[@filipbuskovic3373]

The point is the white team player who committed the foul, would not be given red card , if blue team player did not got it who just reacted.

[@tubelooker71]

White got a straight red

[@sarnobat2000]

Is there a team in America called Brighton?

[@SuperCabrito14]

Probably a high school

[@tintin11th22]

There is also a place called Birmingham in the US , I think .

[@navkc135r]

Brighton High school is in Utah

[@adrianshilling593]

Where do your referees go for training??? The one most important ingredient missing from all this performances is the use of common sense!! FFS train them properly!! Anyone can learn the rules but it only takes one idiot to screw it up!!!! Teach these mugs some common sense!!!

[@chrisbradley1192]

Context: both players deserved a yellow for their behaviour (which they got). If they had already received a yellow earlier in the game then 2 yellows = a red.
