Origins Red And Yellow Card in the World

Origins Red And Yellow Card in the World:

Is the use of red and yellow cards are known as modern football show? The answer is no. Red and yellow cards introduced at the 1970 World Cup.

However, his inspiration appears on the 1966 World Cup, the quarter-final between hosts England and Argentina. Referee who led the game originated in Germany, namely Rudolf Kreitlein.

For committing a hard foul, Argentine captain, Antonio Rattin, issued by Kreitlein. However, Rattin not understand what was meant by the German referee. He did not immediately leave the field.

English referee who took charge of the match, Ken Aston, then go into the field. With a little Spanish capital, he seduced Rattin to leave the field. The reason, which led the match referee, Rudolf Kreitlein, decides so. Because only know German and English, he had trouble explaining his decision to Rattin.

Because of this case, Ken Aston and then think. There should be a universal communication that can be directly known, when the referee gave a warning to the player or removing it from the field. Thus, the referee did not necessarily have to make a clarification to the language that may not be known to the player.

One day, he stopped at the intersection. Seeing the traffic lights, he then got the idea. Later, he suggested that the referee equipped with yellow and red cards. Yellow card for sending a strong or mild sanctions to players who commit violations. As for the red card for tough sanctions, and the player who commits gross violations that have come out of the field.

The idea was accepted by FIFA. At the 1970 World Cup, yellow and red cards are used the first time. Ironically, during the 1970 World Cup not one player a red card. Only a yellow card which had posted that a red card can not be "self-display" at the 1970 World Cup.

Although the idea came from the English referee, the country does not necessarily apply in their competition. Red and yellow cards had been used in the English football competition in 1976. Because the referee is too easy then remove the card and the protests of many players. Therefore, its use was discontinued in 1981 and 1987.

Interestingly, this idea was adopted in hockey sport. In fact, the warning cards in this branch uses three colors like a traffic light: green, yellow, and red. Green for warning, yellow to bring players a while, and red to expel players permanently.
