Cards

By , About.com Guide

Definition:

Used by a referee to enforce discipline in a match. A yellow card is a warning, and a player collecting two of these will be given a red card and sent from the field of play. A straight red card can be produced by a referee for a bad offense such as serious foul play or a professional foul.
