After Tomiyasu was sent off against Palace for a second yellow card, is it worth checking such decisions for such game-altering events?
The intention here is not to embark on a granular dissection of whether Coote was correct in his decisions, but it is a good example to use because both bookings were at the very least debatable. For the first, Tomiyasu was deemed to have taken too long over a throw-in: he only actually held the ball for eight seconds, but Arsenal in general had dithered for much longer collectively, for which Tomiyasu was the individual punished.
In practice though, we know that’s not always the case: we’ve all watched a game where a player already on a yellow card has committed a bookable offence, but the referee has — perhaps unconsciously — decided not to send them off for it. There was a prime example of this in the Women’s World Cup final, when Spain’s Salma Paralluelo — who had already been booked — kicked the ball away and the referee appeared to reach for her pocket, before changing her mind.
That, inevitably, is going to result in more yellow cards for things like timewasting and dissent, which will add up to more double bookings and red cards. This is not an open-and-shut case. There are plenty of arguments against making a second yellow card eligible for the VAR, the most obvious being: what if the first yellow card was the dodgy one? If we accept that reviewing every single yellow card is stupid and excessively disruptive, the problem won’t be solved and you’ll still have people complaining.
