Northcote v Davenport in the Australian FFA Cup Round of 32. Referee Katie Patterson shows Northcote's Adrian Mancini for a foul in front of the traveling fans, who at this stadium are standing just behind the fence. Right after the card is shown and before Patterson has time to write down Mancini's name, Mancini grabs the fouled player in the chest, creating a melee with the fourth official stepping in. After consulting with the fourth official, Patterson shows Mancini his second yellow followed swiftly by a red, much to the delight of the traveling fans. Is this one of the cases where, technically, it's either a VC red or no card, like Brych's 2YC in the 2017 UCL Final? But one where, for the sake of game management, a second yellow works just fine? https://www.theffacup.com.au/match/northcote-city-fc-v-devonport-strikers-ffa-cup-07-08-2018/994533#
At the level most of us are at, it matters since how it’s written up may impact the suspension. In the Pros, a situation like this is likely to be reviewed by the league anyway who will then determine further punishment, often without worrying if it’s VC or 2Y
