Officiating world shaken by the “double yellow” manoeuvre

Just when we thought the world of refereeing couldn’t get any more exciting, German Thomas Metzen pulled an outrageous trick out of the bag over the weekend. Too busy to book the Mainz and St. Pauli players individually in this 2. Bundesliga tie, the official makes the best use of his time and his dual breast pockets. Efficiency from a German? I know, I’m shocked too.

Where did Metzen get the inspiration for the trick? This poster for DFB training courses might have given him some ideas.
