: I assume this is about Gary Neville's red card in the tunnel?
: If so, the referee has jurisdiction over conduct until outside the ground in theory though I would imagine in practice, it would be until the players reach the dressing room.
: I don't know the full facts re. Neville. But hearsay suggests he was cautioned on the pitch for aggressive behaviour towards the ref. and red carded in the tunnel for continuing the same behaviour towards the 4th offical.
: A silly thing to have happened
Ok thank you for your reponse however, this happened at a match i was playing in,
A comment was made to the referee after the match had finished. The player walked away and was walking to the changing rooms and the referee called the player back, and showed him a yellow card. The player gave the referee their name,and entered the changing room. The referee was talking and did not here the players name. So called him back out of the changing room. Asked him for his name again, and then showed him the red card.
I have been looking in the referees rule book, but there is no information about misconduct after the match is finished and it is very unclear.
any help would be appriecated.
