Interesting question.
Noticed in most cases a referee brandishes a 2nd yellow card, then a red card to an offending player. However I have also noticed referees have brandished a yellow card in the game, and then shows a straight red card (rather than showing a 2nd yellow card) to the same offending player.
Why is this? Are some referees too lazy to bother showing a 2nd yellow in favour of showing a straight red? Whats impact has it on the player receiving a 2nd yellow VS a red card?
