The video clip below is from a Premier League match between Sunderland and Manchester United on 5 October 2013. Without being too specific, there is a problem in the video. Can you spot it?
Stumped? Here’s a hint.

No whistle for the restart?

The referee booked the Manchester United player… the one who received the foul.

Don’t need a whistle for restart of play, the fault was issue of caution when player was still ok ground and not on his feet

That’s incorrect. Whenever a booking has been issued for misconduct, a whistle must be used to restart play.

A caution has been issued. The restart needs to be on the whistle.

Did not sound like he restarted properly after the yellow card was issued.

What referee issues a card with head looking at the ground? And yes, a whistle is mandatory after a card for the restart.

The problem was it was a yellow. O’Shea should always get reds, (kidding mostly)

Caution therefore there must be a whistle to restart

Card procedure is record, then issue (preferably when the player is standing) and a whistle is required for a restart after issuing a card.

That isn`t always the case. I have given many cards where there could be a retaliation if I take my time. At a certain level, this chance increases.

The restart should have been indirect as well, ( Impedes the progress). With a whistle restart for the yellow card.

It’s a trip, therefore direct free kick, not indirect for impeding. The more serious offence always prevails.

The referee was way too far away from the play when the foul happened.
Also, he yellow carded the blue player, but let them take the kick.
