rules of red-yellow cards?

Question

What are the rules regarding the red and yellow cards in soccer?

Answer 1

2 yellow=1 red

Answer 2

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:
The cards are shown to the players who have committed a foul. The color of the card depends on the severity of the foul.
A yellow card is shown by the referee to indicate that a player has been officially cautioned.
A 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.

Receving a yellow card caution
There are seven different offences that can get you a yellow card:
# Anything that can be deemed as unsporting behaviour
# Dissent by word or action
# Persistent infringement of the laws, for example a series of fouls
# Delaying the restart of play
# Not retreating the full ten yards at a free-kick or corner
# Entering or re-entering the field without the referee's permission
# Deliberately leaving the field without the referee's permission

Receving a instant red card send-off
There are seven offences you can be shown a straight red card for:
# Serious foul play.This includes a tackle that endangers the safety of an opponent.
# Violent conduct such as throwing a punch
# Spitting at an opponent or another person
# A player other than the goalkeeper denies an obvious goalscoring opportunity by handling the ball
# A goalkeeper would be similarly punished if they intentionally handle the ball outside their goal area
# Committing an offence that denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (informally known as a professional foul)
# Using offensive, insulting or abusive language or gestures

Receiving Second Yellow card
If the referee shows a player a second yellow card in the game, the referee will show the second yellow card before holding up the red card, meaning that the player is sent off or expelled from the game.

Suspensions (Red card)
Rule: A red card implies 1 game suspension.

Carry on the cautions (Yellow card)
The exact punishments are determined by tournament or competition rules (not by the Laws of the Game). The cautions are accumulate for a certain phase of a the world cup tournament.
Rules:
* A yellow card is carry over, and 2 yellow cards equal a red and a 1 game suspension.
* A yellow card is carry on during the first and second phase of the tournament.
* For the quaterfinals is a clean start for all the players, except for a red card.
* Begining the quaterfinals the yellow cards are carry on, until the end of the tournament. And at the end of the tournament all the yellows cards are reset, except:
If a player gets his second yellow card, in the final game, he will carry over the punishment to the next international game of his team, when he plays.

Answer 3

This is a good question and I will try to answer it the best I can.

Yellow cards are cautions and are warnings for dangerous challenges, tackles etc. The player is now warned or cautioned that if he/she commits a similar foul they will be 'booked' (written in the referees book) again and will be given a red card.

A red card is an instant ejection and your side then plays with ten men/women.

Examples of what would constitute a red card would be what the referree perceives as a very dangerous challenge (eg a foot or elbow to the opponents head, or a high tackle to the opponents knees). Another example of a red card is tackling a player in the penalty are without touching the ball, or handling the ball in the penalty area by any defending player other than the goalie. I believe the goalie can also get a red card for handling the ball outside his area, although this one double check because it has been a while since I played and this one I would have to look up.

As someone who was booked on more than one occasion :) hope this explanation helps and enjoy the tournament.

Answer 4

It all depends on the foul. A yellow card is warning to a player. If the player gets another yellow he will be shown a red and he is ejected from the game. Also, he may miss one or two matches pending on the foul. A Red card can be giving directly if the foul is brutal or the player is the last defender committing the foul.

Answer 5

Whe a player fouls an opposing player for the first time and deemed to be violent and unwarranted then he is inevitably dished out Yellow card. If this happens twice to the same person then he4 gets the big RED one to F O from the pitch
