I still remember the days when locally we had about 40 offences for Yellow cards and over 30 for red cards. Was a tad ridiculous when 90% of them were just Y1 or R1 lol. There was everything from "Dangerous Lateral Tackle" to "Dangerous Studs Up Tackle". I seem to remember a 2nd yellow red card was an R27 or something ridiculous!

good luck trying to remember that off by heart! much more simpler now, and some YC offences can fall under 2 different catergories. eg...kicking ball away can be dissent or delaying the restart of play
