Question Number: 18773Law 5 - The Referee 4/13/2008RE: rec, competative Under 18 Doug Anderson of Orillia, Ontario Canada asks...This question is a follow up to question 18449 I strongly agree with the sentiments expressed about the ability to give a card post match, for cause. He questioned the refs authority was given a reasonable chance to walk away and chimed in with something he ought not to have.
But, isn't dissent a yellow, not a red?
DSA Answer provided by Referee Keith Contarino Dissent is a caution and yellow. Language that is abusive, insulting or offensive is send off offense and a red card. It's up to the referee to decide what constitutes either case. For me, someone mouthing off after a match is usually being insulting or offensive and is punished accordingly.
