double yellow in highschool soccer

Re: double yellow in highschool soccer

I was 100% sure the player can play the next game but I emailed Justin @ FHSAA to confirm it. His reply is below:

"You are correct in your interpretation. A double yellow is disqualified for that game and does not miss any more games (no report). A blue card is the same except, no substitution."

Sincerely,

Justin Harrison
Associate Director of Athletics

This must be one of the FHSAA idiots who think that they are bigger than the game and bigger than the only true authority of the game FIFA. Just one more reason why HS sucks and his name is Justin Harrison, who has just proved he is an idiot! Justin needs to take his double yellow cards, which by the way is a red card, and his blue card and shove it up the collective x

Re: double yellow in highschool soccer

Under what circumstance is a blue card used?

Re: double yellow in highschool soccer

Blue card is for an intentional handball in a goal scoring situation. Player is removed from the game, team plays down a man, but the player is not suspended for any additional games. The rationale is that this foul is usually a reactionary one and not premeditated. A blue card is used so players, fans, and coaches see that the disqualification will not result in further game suspensions. It is different but this rule actually seems to make some sense.

Re: double yellow in highschool soccer

Anybody ever witness a blue card? I have seen lots of hand balls with yellow cards issued, but no blue cards

Re: double yellow in highschool soccer

Do you think that some refs use the double yellow instead of a straight red to avoid the paper work? and also knowing the long suspension time for high school red cards

Re: double yellow in highschool soccer

we had a handball in the Gateway Champioships in Jacksonville this year that was a handball in the box that drew a blue card
