This is phenomenon that has perhaps avoided specific inclusion in the official Laws of the Game mainly because "waving an imaginary card" is a preposterous set of words to appear in the same footballing sentence. Nevertheless, the waving of imaginary cards is frequently cited as an unwelcome by-product of the foreign influx to these Premier League. Before 1992, we apparently made do with simply asking the referee to book an opponent -- which is fine, obviously.
