Is it time to consider the issuing of three yellow cards for red card?
Cards were introduced for offences 50+ years ago. At the time, it was rare enough to be booked, and only the most serious fouls saw a straight red.
Nowadays, the same rules apply, but the amount of things players can be disciplined for has risen dramatically. So referees now often let fouls go unpunished, and they are often reluctant to issue a second yellow if a player is already booked. A yellow card is a caution, but what is the point of a second caution when it's an automatic red card anyway?
So should there be a change in the laws to reflect the increase in bookable offences over the years?
