yellow cards

Referee's formal warnings

Yellow cards are warnings issued by referees in soccer and some other sports to caution players for misconduct such as unsportsmanlike behavior, persistent fouling, or dissent.

The referee holds up a yellow card to signal the infraction to players and spectators.

A player who receives two yellow cards in a single match is shown a red card and ejected from the game.

He picked up a yellow card for time-wasting.
