Cards in volleyball
"In volleyball a red card is used in a similar manner to football (soccer) and field hockey, resulting in a player being sent off. Yellow cards are also used."


 * I believe that in volleyball, a yellow card is a warning, but carries no immediate additional sanction. A red card, however, results in a point being awarded to the non-offending team. In at least some levels of competition, a player (or coach) is disqualified or ejected by being shown both a yellow and a red card simultaneously. 76.21.8.213 (talk) 06:22, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Yellow Card Accumulation
I've been looking for more information on yellow card accumulation rules for association football. Does the rule vary? Is it incorporated during the normal season or only in tournaments? Any information would be appreciated in the article. Thanks - cgilbert(talk 19:57, 22 June 2008 (UTC)


 * There is no such rule in the laws of the game and it simply depends on the competition, it is one of the competition rules as opposed to a sport rule, I believe that in the UEFA Champions League accumulating two yellow cards (in different games) carries a one match ban, in La Liga a match ban is given after a player has accumulated 5 yellow cards.

 * More information on this should indeed be added to the article (I'm surprised that Yellow card does not have an article of its own, BTW). At the FIFA World Cup, there is a ban after two yellow cards, in the German Bundesliga it's 5 yellow cards. The German WP even has a separate article Gelbsperre on the accumulation ban. --Roentgenium111 (talk) 19:13, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Accumulation: Suspensions as well in the UEFA Champions League as Euro League, FIFA World Cup, FIFA Confederation Cup, UEFA Euro and other international matches are, in the most part, handled after a very few cards. (Suspension after Red Cards is very rigorous). - German Bundesliga: Always after 5 Yellow Cards (informations from earlier time say, that a suspension was after 4 games, there is nothing told about accumulation, perhaps always after 4 cards). - Austria: "Highest league" (and all lawer leagues): At first after 5 yellow cards, next after 4, next after 3. - In "national cups", as well in Germany as Austria, there are other laws (because there are not so many draws). - If a player is cautioned with two Yellow cards in a match (he is cautioned with an "Indirect red card") he is suspended for one match, and both Yellow cards don't count for the accumulation. If a player is cautioned with a Yellow card, and later in the same match with a Red Card, the Yellow card also don't count for the accumulation. - An "Indirect red card" in a "national championship" mustn't count for the "national cup" (player is allowed to play in a match in the "cup", if that match will be the next match after the match in the "championship" - vice versa, such a card in a match in the "cup" doesn't count in the "championship". (Another information is, that, as well as in Germany as in Austria in earlier time, Yellow cards from "championship" and "cup" were added. There is no information about "Indirect red cards" but in a consequence of these handling it is to suppose that those cards were added too.) - In contrast, Red cards count as well in the "competition" as "cup" - if the player is suspended, f.e. for five matches, the temporal order is relevant (May 11th "competition", May 15th "cup", May 19th "competition", May 22nd "competition", May 27th "cup", could be the time in which the player is banned). In the very past time in Germany, dismissed players (I prefer the word "dismissed" because it was already before the Cards were introduced, and the Bundesliga was introduced) were punished with the full vigour of the law (5 matches and more!), and there players who were banned for matches in national competitions were also suspended in international competitions (though there was no need for suspensions). Maybe, since in the late 1970ies, these additional suspensions were stopped. - On the other hand, curiously enough, in Germany suspensions regarding Yellow cards didn't be introduced until 1977 or 1978. Incident to do, was Mr. Walter Frosch, player in the "2nd Bundesliga Nord", who collected Yellow cards in series in the season 1976/77. There are different numbers, but, in all probability, 18 or 19 is the right one, and this number is high enough to be a record for one season.

Addition to Switzerland: Suspensions allways after 4 Yellow Cards.

Another important fact to point out maybe, what happenes with Yellow (and other cards) if a match will be abondoned (with the additional question referring, if such an abondoned match is being replayed) ? About Austria, I've the information that all cards are counting (exception: Yellow cards, if there is a system with replaying in part), and in consequence also a suspension counts (If a player was suspended for one match, his suspension is deleted, if it was for maybe three matches, one of it is deleted). Replayed matches: Only those, when there is a replay in part, are being relevant. In several Austrian local associationes replays in part are applied. Most important laws say: Yellow cards from the abondoned match are transferred, Accumulation takes effect with finish of the match. Players who were dismissed aren't allowed to take part.

Accumulation maybe transferred if a player changes the club. But laws in Germany and Austria say: At the end of a season there is no transfer of accumulation into the next season (and, if a player was shown the "Indirect red card" in the final match, there is no suspension for the first match of new season). Only red cards are transferred (and also suspensions). --213.225.38.186 (talk) 17:10, 28 November 2016 (UTC).

Red card in Association football
The categories of misconduct states in point 4 that "A deliberate handling offense to deny an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by any player other than a goalkeeper in his own penalty area" will result in a red card. I am not familiar with the accurate wording of this rule, but this is at least not how the rule is being used. A goalkeeper will also be given a red card if "deliberate handling offense to deny an obvious goal-scoring opportunity". This should be reflected in the article. Rubendw (talk) 07:52, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Article currently states The player who has been sent off can be replaced by a substitute player it is not in the laws of the game 2014 that a player sent off cannot be replaced This is clearly wrong - of course a player sent off can not be replaced by a substitute. The only exception to this is if the player is sent off before the game has started, in which case he can be replaced by a named substitute. I believe this needs to be edited on the article. --Kingmoose8 (talk) 21:47, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

In the. F.A.
In the F.A. yellow and red cards have been introducted later (1976?) and there were an interruption in the 1980ies (it was said, all players are English speaking, therefore there is no need for cards, decisions of the Referees can be made clearly). Are there exact data recorded about all that? --213.225.5.125 (talk) 13:00, 27 November 2016 (UTC).

Yellow card, yellow card, red card
Okay, this is coming from an American who basically knows SFA about soccer, so take that in mind when answering. In the article it states: "A player who has been cautioned may continue playing in the game; however, a player who receives a second caution in a match is sent off (shown the yellow card again, and then a red card)". Is this a sequence of three (Yellow card at the first occurrence, yellow card at the second occurrence, and red card at the third) or two (Yellow card at the first occurrence, both yellow and red cards at the second)? The description seems to be saying the second, but that doesn't make sense. Why bother showing the second yellow card if it and the red card occur for the same infraction? --Khajidha (talk) 16:30, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
 * The point is that it makes a difference wether you are sent off for two yellow cards or a single red card. If you get two yellow cards and hence also a red one, you are out of the game. But thats it (excepted that the number of yellow cards in sum make you not beeing allowed to play for the next game). In constrast, a red card is (that always depends on the league, cup ...) is almost always followed by not beeing allowed to play a number of upcoming games and possibly receiving further punishment. --Iksbat (talk) 03:26, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Then why bother showing the red card then? The two yellow cards would put you out of the game, so why make the referee take the time to show the red card too? --Khajidha (talk) 13:35, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Blue card in handball
The article is kinda misleading. The blue card is not always shown if a player gets disqualified, but it is shown everytime if a player does something that would make him get a red card directly, no matter what penalties he got before. Somebody should clarify that, but since I am neither english nor really into the formulation of the regulations, I will not be able to do so. --Iksbat (talk) 03:18, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Green card in association football
For the 2018 ConIFA World Football Cup, ConIFA introduced a new green card, which is issued to players as an intermediate punishment between the yellow and red cards for dissent and diving infractions; any player who is issued a green card is required to be substituted immediately and can take no further part in the game.
