Thank you for the replies. I do normally go with the official version and just make a note of an erroneously recorded reference from any other sources e.g. newspaper or magazine.
However, the following case is interesting:
Liverpool v AS Roma – UEFA Cup 2000-01
The full match can be seen here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp8VO-WIorAIf you fast forward to minute 76’ 30” (of the game) the Spanish referee, José Garcia-Aranda Encinar appears to award Roma a penalty, then changes his decision and awards a corner kick. The Roma players surround the referee and he appears to issue three or four yellow cards (to Guigou, Zago(?), Samuel and Tomassi)?
Further into the match at 84’ 40” Tomassi receives a yellow card, this being his second, and is sent off. I am not aware he was booked at any previous time in the match other than the incident in the 76th minute.
Then, at 92’ 20” Guigou is yellow carded, but not sent-off, so I assume he can’t have been one of those booked in 76th minute incident.
On referring to UEFA’s official records
https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/match/66909--liverpool-vs-roma/ the only player noted to have received a yellow card in the 76th minute incident is Samuel.
Tomassi’s sending off in the 84th minute is shown as a yellow and a red card, indicating a previous yellow at some point, but this isn’t shown at any earlier time. Presumably, this is from the 76th minute incident and an error on the UEFA record.
Guigou is noted as a yellow and a red card in the 90th minute but the video evidence clearly shows he wasn’t sent off. I’ve not found any record of any retrospective punishment/suspension. Therefore, I assume the UEFA record is incorrect and should just be a yellow card in the 90th minute.
So, all a bit confusing and back to my original question. If the referee brandished three or four yellow cards in the 76th minute why didn't he report these or if did it is just a case of bad record keeping on UEFA.com's part?
Incidentally, the match appears to have been José Garcia-Aranda Encinar’s last European competition appointment, but whether this was related to his handling of the game or just because it was his last season I do not know.
