A ball is played cross field, where 1 defensive and 1 offensive player are within a playable distance of the ball. The defensive player makes the first touch on the ball out of the air, knocking the ball beyond his control. The offensive player runs straight through the ball heading it forward towards goal. The ball rolls clear and the defensive player hits the offensive player from the side, sending him tumbling to the ground, and eliminating his play on goal. The referee blows the play dead for a direct free kick, no booking is made. The referee has made a number of questionable and uncertain calls through the first half up to this point in the 42nd minute. The conversation with the referee proceeds in a completely calm and conversational manner as follows:

Offensive Player: “Of all the calls you’ve made in the game, that is the one that should be a yellow card.”

Referee: “There’s no yellow there.”

Offensive Player: “Well I didn’t expect you to know what you’re talking about.”

Referee: “That’s a yellow right there!”
