Has a player ever been shown a second yellow card while being substituted? | The Knowledge

There have been instances where players have received their second yellow card while on the pitch. One such case was in 1980 when Stoke City's Denis Smith was sent off for time-wasting after limping towards the touchline with an injured ankle and lingering on it as his substitute, Paul Johnson, was not properly warmed up.

Another example is from a 2008 match between Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United. During this Steel City derby at Bramall Lane, Jermaine Johnson kicked a water bottle into the home support after being substituted. He received another yellow card for this incident despite already having one earlier in the game for a foul.

Lastly, there's an instance where Clarence Seedorf was booked twice while attempting to leave the pitch during his substitution in 2013. The referee initially warned him and then booked him again after he ignored the instruction and tried to leave via the entire pitch.

These examples highlight instances of players being given their second yellow card while on the pitch, often due to actions such as time-wasting, unsportsmanlike conduct, or simply not leaving promptly enough when substituted.
 
I feel like some players just don't get it πŸ€”. I mean, come on, you already got a yellow card for something, do you really need another one? It's like, I know it's frustrating to be substituted and not have your team warming up right away, but kicking water bottles into the stands or holding onto an ankle that's clearly hurt is just silly πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. And then there are players who try to make a dramatic exit by walking all the way off the pitch... yeah, no thanks, just get on with it already! πŸ˜…. It's like, you're not exactly impressing anyone with your antics at that point in the game πŸ™„.
 
Idk why they dont just give a red card if they're gonna throw another yellow... it sounds like more of an excuse for refs to get creative with the cards lol πŸ˜‚. Like, I get it, players want to slow down the game or stir up drama but come on, 2 yellows is still not cool. And those examples are pretty crazy, especially with Clarence Seedorf trying to make a break for it during his sub 🀣
 
idk why refs still dont get this πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ its like they think players are gonna magically know when subs r coming and just chill on the sideline lol. newsflash: they dont! and yeah smith was a total dud, wasting time like that is so unsportsmanlike πŸ˜’ meanwhile jermaine johnson kicks water bottles in frustration? idk who's worse πŸ€” Clarence seedorf trying to leave the pitch all dramatic? like dude just chill on the bench or what??
 
I'm so done with these refs! πŸ™„ like what's the logic here? You get a second yellow and you're outta there for good! That Seedorf guy was literally being told to leave and he just didn't wanna go πŸ˜‚. And that water bottle kick from Jermaine Johnson, dude was already in trouble and then he goes and does it again... what's the point of even having a second yellow card? It's not like players are gonna suddenly start playing better just 'cause they've got another warning 🀣. Time-wasting is one thing, but come on, can't we just move on with the game already?! ⏱️
 
I'm like "what's going on with these subs?!" πŸ˜‚ I mean, you'd think it's pretty obvious that players gotta get off the pitch ASAP when they're getting replaced. But nope, there are some weird cases where guys just can't seem to wrap their heads around leaving the game quickly enough.

I guess what gets me is that the refs have to be aware of these situations and try not to give out two yellows in one go. It's like, you're trying to send a message about player conduct, but at the same time, you don't wanna be too harsh because it could end up being an own goal for your team.

It's all pretty frustrating when this happens, 'specially since these instances are relatively rare, so it feels like they're just gonna sit back and let guys like that get away with it.
 
πŸ˜’ another day, another example of the refs messing up πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. can you believe some players actually think they can waste time and get away with it? like Denis Smith in 1980, I mean come on, dude, go to the sidelines already! 🚫 and Jermaine Johnson just kicks a water bottle into the stands, what's wrong with that kid?! 😑. and Clarence Seedorf trying to leave the pitch during sub is just laughable, like he thinks he's gonna outrun the referee or something πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‘Ž. these instances show how some players don't respect the game or the refs, and it's a shame because sportsmanship should be the norm not the exception πŸ€•. btw, have you seen the latest economic reports? inflation is through the roof in most countries, yikes πŸ“‰πŸ˜©
 
omg u think its funny when a player gets 2nd yellow card lol that sounds like so much drama i mean imagine if thats me on the field lol, not getting up and moving to my seat after I get a yellow card would be super bad move πŸ˜‚ i wonder how many times it happens and why players do this stuff sometimes they just cant control themselves or arent thinking about the game at all πŸ€” does anyone think its fair tho when u get another yellow card 4 time wasting or something?
 
πŸ€” I think it's a bit weird that refs can give these guys a second yellow card just for hanging around on the sidelines, ya know? Like, if you're hurt and need to get warmed up before you come back in, that's totally fair. But if you're just time-wasting or being a sore loser after getting subbed out, that's not the same thing. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

I mean, in the case of Jermaine Johnson kicking that water bottle into the crowd, that's some pretty serious behavior and it definitely warrants another yellow card. But if you're just limping around on the sidelines with an injured ankle like Denis Smith did back in '80, I think that's a different story altogether. πŸ€•

And can we talk about how confusing it is when refs keep giving players warnings for trying to leave the pitch and then book them again anyway? Like, what's the point of even having those warnings if you're just gonna book 'em twice?! πŸ˜‚ It's just not cool.

I guess the thing that gets me is that these yellow cards are like a double whammy. You get one for your actual foul or whatever, and then you gotta deal with another one for hanging around too long or being a bad sport after the fact. Can't we just have one clear rulebook and stick to it?! πŸ™„
 
I just think it's pretty weird that they would give someone a 2nd yellow card after already having one πŸ€”... like, what's the point of doing that? It's not like they're trying to send the player off, it's more like they're just messing with their head at this point πŸ˜‚. And yeah, it looks pretty unfair on the player too, 'cause they've already been warned once, so a 2nd yellow card feels like harassment πŸ’β€β™‚οΈ... I don't get why refs can't just use their common sense and not book someone twice for the same thing πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ.
 
Can you believe it? Players just dont wanna leave the game πŸ€”, especially if they think its gonna affect the outcome in their favor. I mean, I get it, its hard to just walk off when you're invested, but that's what the rules are for πŸ™„. Time-wasting is a big one, but what about when players try to psyche out the opposing team by delaying subs or doing some other dramatics? Its all part of the game, but at the same time, its gotta be fair and not cost them their shirt ⚫️. Those cases you mentioned sound pretty crazy, especially with Clarence Seedorf trying to leave the pitch like he was in a movie 🎬. I think its a gray area, but as long as it doesn't affect the game's integrity, what do u think? Should refs just let players have their fun on the sidelines or is there a line that gets crossed too far? πŸ€”
 
πŸ˜’ 2nd yellow cards are super rare but those examples show referees can get a bit confused when dealing with some players. Like, what's the logic in booking someone again for lingering around? It's just time-wasting, it's already been said... and on the other hand, Jermaine Johnson got booked twice for kicking a water bottle πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. Refs need to get their act together and be more consistent with those cards
 
πŸ˜’ I think it's kinda weird that some players get another yellows after already getting one... like, what's the point? It's not like they're trying to make up for anything. Like in the Stoke City example, he's clearly hurt and just wants to get outta there. Time-wasting isn't even a major sin, right? πŸ€”
 
omg can u belive referees are gettin it all wrong like again with this 2nd yellow card thingy?? i mean how hard is it to know when a player is tryin to leave the pitch already?? Clarence Seedorf got booked TWICE for tryna leave the pitch and it was still a yellow card? what's goin on over there? 🀯😑
 
😊 I think it's quite fascinating how referees interpret the rules surrounding player substitutions and yellow cards. In my opinion, these instances illustrate a common conundrum – the fine line between sportsmanship and technicality. While it's understandable to expect players to leave the pitch quickly upon substitution, the actions described in these examples seem almost instinctual, rather than deliberate attempts to evade discipline.

Moreover, it raises questions about referee training and the effectiveness of their communication with players. In some cases, it appears that referees may be too lenient or inconsistent in their application of the rules. Perhaps a more nuanced approach would be warranted, one that balances fairness with clarity? πŸ€”
 
It's like they're trying to tell us something about the game itself πŸ€”. These instances where players get a second yellow and get kicked out, it raises questions about the rules and how they're enforced. I mean, what's the point of having a second chance if you're just gonna waste it? πŸ™„ It's like they're giving them too much leeway, letting them get away with stuff that could be seen as unsportsmanlike.

It also makes me wonder about the referees' judgment. Are they really making these calls based on the rules or are they just going off their gut feeling? Because if it's the former, then maybe we need to revisit those rules and make 'em clearer. But if it's the latter, that's not exactly what we want in a referee, is it? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

And you know what this got me thinking about... stadium safety! If players are gonna linger around after being substituted, how do we ensure the player coming on doesn't get hurt or anything? It's like they're putting more pressure on them than necessary. We need to make sure our players' safety is top priority, not just their desire to sulk out on the pitch. 🚨
 
the idea of getting a second yellow card on the pitch is just crazy πŸ˜‚... i mean what's the logic here? like, if you're already out of the game and headed to the bench, can't you just chill for one more minute? πŸ™„ but seriously, these instances show that referees are still working on this rule and it's not always consistent. denis smith in 1980 was a pretty clear case of time-wasting, but what about jermaine johnson kicking a water bottle into the stands? that's just reckless and not exactly sportsmanlike πŸ˜’... and clarence seedorf trying to leave the pitch after his sub is also pretty ridiculous 🀣. i guess it just goes to show that referees have to be on their toes all game long, dealing with crazy situations like this all the time πŸ†
 
πŸ€” I'm kinda surprised that this still happens in football, you know? Like, we're all taught to respect the game and our opponents from a young age, so it's weird that some players still feel the need to deliberately wind people up or try to waste time.

I think one of the main issues is that referees are super strict about the rules, but they also gotta make split-second decisions. Like, what if Clarence Seedorf just genuinely forgot what he was supposed to do and didn't mean to ignore the ref's instruction? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ It's not like we're seeing a pattern of players trying to get in trouble or anything.

But seriously, it's a shame that some players can't even be bothered to leave the pitch quickly when they're being taken off. I mean, it's just common courtesy, right? πŸ˜’
