BensGrandad said:He couldnt have got booked for that as it i s an automatic Red Card if you slap or even gesture to slap somebody. This incident happned just after he had been booked and as somebody else posted ealier he wasd suprised that Cox wasnt sent off.
Can only assume that he was booked for something he said to the ref at the time of the free kick.
As Icy Gull said - it was for trying to gain an unfair advantage by taking the free-kick before the referee blew his whistle.
You can either take them quick, or you wait for the ref. You can't choose to wait for the ref and then change your mind and play it quick.
