In Soccer, what is difference between a Yellow Card and a Red Card?

Question

How does a soccer player recieve notice by the referee of a Yellow Card and/or a Red Card and is there any other color cards?

Answer 1

The yellow card is a caution or warning card. Two yellow cards mean a red card. So the ref first shows the second yellow then he brings out the red. Red card (send-off) is automatic ejection from the game and in most clubs (FIFA included) you cannot play in the next game. I don't really get what you want to know by "How does a soccer player recieve notice by the referee of a Yellow Card and/or a Red Card." I think the answer to that is: they don't, you need to be under control when you play so you eliminate the chances of getting one. And most of the time you expect one b/c as a player you just know when its comming and when its not. You think to yourself "thats gonna be a card" or something like that.

There is another color card, the blue card. It is only used in indoor soccer and it means a 20 second timeout.

You can be shown a Yellow card for the following cautionable offences

"A player is cautioned and shown the yellow card if he commits any of the following seven offences:

1. is guilty of unsporting behaviour
2. shows dissent by word or action
3. persistently infringes the Laws of the Game
4. delays the restart of play
5. fails to respect the required distance when play is restarted with a corner kick, free kick or throw-in
6. enters or re-enters the field of play without the referee’s permission
7. deliberately leaves the field of play without the referee’s permission.

A substitute or substituted player is cautioned and shown the yellow card if he commits any of the following three offences:
1. is guilty of unsporting behaviour
2. shows dissent by word or action
3. delays the restart of play

You get sent off for this:
A player, substitute or substituted player is sent off and shown the red card if he commits any of the following seven offences:

1. is guilty of serious foul play
2. is guilty of violent conduct
3. spits at an opponent or any other person
4. denies the opposing team a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball (this does not apply to a goalkeeper within his own penalty area)
5. denies an obvious goalscoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player’s goal by an offence punishable by a free kick or a penalty kick
6. uses offensive or insulting or abusive language and/or gestures
7. receives a second caution in the same match.

A player, substitute or substituted player who has been sent off and shown the red card must leave the vicinity of the field of play and the technical area.

Answer 2

There are seven offences for which a player can be cautioned:

is guilty of unsporting behaviour
shows dissent by word or action
persistently infringes the laws of the game
delays the restart of play
fails to respect the required distance when play is restarted by a corner or free kick
enters or re enters the field of play without the referees permission
leaves the field of play without the referees permission.

There are also 7 offences for which a player can be sent off (red card):

Guilty of serious foul play
guilty of violent conduct
spits at an opponent or any other person
denies the opposing team a goal or obvious goal scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball ( this does not apply to the goal keeper within the penalty area)
denies an obvious goal scoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the players goal, by an offence punishable by a free kick or penalty kick.
uses offensive or insulting or abusive language and/or gestures
receives a second caution.

there are no other card colours. When a player is being cautioned he will have his name taken by the referee, show the yellow card and be warned of his future conduct. The same applies to a red card although he will be asked to leave the field of play rather than be warned of future conduct.

Answer 3

Yellow Card is a caution for any of these reasons:
1."unsporting behavior"
2.dissent by word or actions
3.persistently breaking the rules,
4.delaying the restart of play,
5.defenders failing to stay the proper distance away from the kicker on a corner kick or free kick
6.entering the field without the referee's permission
7.deliberately leaving the field without the referees permission

A red card means you are ejected from the game and may or may not be replaced. Reasons to get a red card are...
1.serious foul play
2.violent conduct
3.spitting at anyone
4.a deliberate hand ball to deny an obvious goal scoring opportunity
5.fouling an opponent to prevent an obvious goal scoring opportunity (e.g., holding to stop a breakaway)
6.using offensive or threatening language
7.receiving a second yellow card in one game

Answer 4

there r only 2 colors card. 1 yellow card in 1 match is a caution card but if u get another yellow in the same match then u have to leave the game but if u get a second yellow in the next match then u miss the next game.yellow is for minor offence but RED is for major and deliberate offence.1 red sends u off immediately and u also miss the next game.so yellow is the a caution but if u violate the caution then u get another and 2 yellows make a red and u have to leave the game!!!1yellow+1yellow=1 red

Answer 5

Yellow cards are for potentially dangerous plays, and act as warnings/cautions. Red cards are for dangerous plays/tackles/intentional handballs/there are others that I can't remember right now. Two yellow cards on one game equal a red card and ejection - the player also misses the next match. One yellow card per game in two consecutive games means that the player can finish the game, but misses the next. Here are the official FIFA rules: http://www.fifa.com/documents/fifa/laws/LOTG2006_e.pdf

Answer 6

red means you are out for 1-2 games
yellow is a really big warning and you dont want to get 2 because 2 yellow adds up to one red card..
no there are no other colors

Answer 7

Yellow cards like a warning..if a player get sthe red card hes out of the game.

Answer 8

Simple. Yellow card is yellow and Red card is red.

Answer 9

Yellow means a warning for fouls and such. Two yellows in a game makes a red. Red means an ejection of a player.

Answer 10

yellow is a warning while red is a automatic ejection from the match and a suspension, so to say, from the next match. 2 yellows in the same match result in the same way as a red card would, as far as the ejection from the match and the suspension from the next match.
