Re q's from CelticLad & Murphs_Jewels
Hiya lads,
Unfortunately, both of your questions relate to league rules, rather than the Laws of the Game. Neither situation is something the referees have any control over or can get involved in.
In the case of the cup game, while we would all say that this situation is not ideal, the administrators may be well within their rights. Request a copy of the rules pertaining to this cup competition from your league secretary (or from the FAI if it is a national cup).
In the case of the yellow cards, the referees just give them & then report it. What happens after that in Disciplinary Committees etc does not involve us. Again, get a copy of the league rules from your secretary.
In both cases, if your leagues have websites, the rules may be available for download there.
HTH!
