Are you sure we want shame on green cards? The whole point of green cards is that they can be given when no punishment is warranted. The way the rules are set up is to require cards, but to allow green cards as a way to avoid punishment. It would be better, in my opinion, to create a new kind of card. That way we could leave green cards with no punishment, and still give the Ref options. (Repeat offenders get yellow cards anyway, so you just have to wait a bit longer.) Speaking of which, what does our Referee think?
