Yellow Cards

Here's a little secret for all you players: the referee fraternity is a tight knit group. They talk and share information with one another.  If you are argumentative on the pitch, if you give a lot of fouls, if you are awarded a yellow card caution or a red card send off, word gets around.

You need to work on your player / referee relationships gracefully and with tact or you will see yourself accumulating cards based on your reputation in the referee community.

Honor and respect the game.

Honor and respect your team.

Honor and respect the officials.

Honor and respect yourself.
