SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer Why only one yellow?

I realize that we have yet to establish the correct ruling on removing/lifting one's uniform over your head, however, can anyone tell me why two players from SA did this and only one received a yellow? I don't want to discuss what if's and scores, just curious to know why the ref only gave one.

probably only saw one....its hard to see the whole field sometimes.

Well, that would be okay, except that they both ran into the middle of the field together. Kind of hard to miss.

soccermommy,
I don't mean to interrupt this mother/son bonding, but the Ref did see Jamal pull his over his head. He did not see Goose pull his over cause his back was to Goose. For all the Ref knew or saw, Goose could have just been adjusting his jersey or something else, and not performing an act of excessive celebration as he did see Jamal do.

striker, I haven't been disrespectful to anyone on any post, please don't do it to me. For the record, I don't even know soccerboy, as I stated in a different post, I actually have a child playing soccer at Irmo. All I wanted was an answer to my question. Please feel free to not address any of my posts if you're bringing your attitude with you. Thanks.

soccermom, I think you need to bend striker over your knee and WEAR HIM OUT!!!

I believe that I read on another post that the ref was questioned by one of the Irmo players about this, and his response was that he did not see Gus (or Goose) take OFF his jersey, he only saw him putting it back ON. (huh?)

Now, personally, I think that answer is a little silly. Sure, I understand that the ref did not specifically see the keeper doing that, so he couldn't give him a yellow card for it, but he had to "KNOW" that is what he did. That's what the ARs are for. So, he could have given the keeper a yellow card based on the ARs observation.

And, I am not blaming anyone for anything here...merely answering the lady's question (okay, and adding just a tad of opinion).

tell ya what...

why don't we just forfeit the state championship to Irmo because the referee did not issue two yellows to jamal and goose, they did not call a goal on what the irmo contingent resoundingly calls "an obvious goal", the referee did not signal for a penalty at the "obvious handball" (they have it on tape!!!)

That referee and his crew did the best job all weekend. Did you see the Girls 4A final??? That was a bad referee and it turned out to be the most exciting game I personally saw all weekend, despite him. I don't see Fort Mill or West Ashley complaining. I don't see anyone else complaining for that matter.

2004 Striker gettting beetch slapped bya soccer mom.........FREAKIN PRICELESS!!!!!

PS....Goose was wearing a garnet uniform w/ the garnet T shirt under couldn't tell he took it off.

The garnet jersey and garnet shirt is a very good explanation. The ref's eyes were on Jamal after he scored and the ref started marking in his little book thing and when he looked up Goose was on his to the net and Jamal was in front of the ref. The ref issued the card to Jamal and then turned around to look at Goose who was adjusting his jersey. As the ref went over to inquire, senior captain Rob Sucher looked over and talked to the ref and then went and talked to his goalie.

Even if Goose got a yellow card, it would not have mattered. There was no over the top physical play from him that would have led to a red card. The backup keeper could easily hold his own for 5-10 minutes while they regrouped to get them back in. The whole post is really irrelavant and I mean that with no disrespect whatsoever.
