However, inspiration came in the 1966
World Cup in the quarter-final between hosts England versus Argentina. Who led
the match referee from Germany, namely Rudolf Kreitlein.
Because of a hard foul, the Argentine
captain, Antonio Rattin, issued by Kreitlein. However, Rattin did not
understand what was meant by the German referee. He did not immediately leave
the field.
English referee who took charge of the
match, Aston Kn, then go into the field. With little capital of the Spanish
language, he seduced Rattin to leave the field. Therefore, the referee who led
the match, Rudolf Kreitlein, decides so. Because only know German and English,
he had trouble explaining his decision to Rattin.
Because of this case, Ken Aston and
then think. There should be a universal communication that can be directly
known to everyone, when the referee gave a warning to players or removing it
from the field. Thus, the referee without having to make an explanation in a
language that may not be known players.
One day, he stopped at the
intersection. See the traffic light (red light), he then got the idea. Then he
suggested that referees equipped with yellow and red cards. Yellow card for
sending a strong or moderate sanctions for players who commit violations. While
a red card to heavy penalties and the player who committed serious violations
that should be out of the field.
The idea was accepted by FIFA. At the
1970 World Cup, yellow cards and red for the first time use. Ironically, during
the 1970 World Cup neither player a red card. Only the yellow card that was
posted. Thus, the red card cannot "show off" in the 1970 World Cup.
Although the idea came from the
English referee, but the country was not necessarily apply in their
competition. The new red and yellow cards used in the English football
competition in 1976. Since then the referee too easily remove the card and the
protests of many players, and then its use was discontinued in 1981 and 1987.
Interestingly, this idea was adopted
sport of hockey. In fact, in this branch uses three color cards, such as
traffic light: green, yellow, and red. Green for alert, yellow for issuing
players a while, and red to expel the player permanently.
