Yeah, if we're going to take that approach give a yellow card for every foul and move on. Except that doesn't happen. Consistency is what determines the reffing, as each ref really has their own way of approaching the game, or at least it certainly seems that way despite the rules being the same for everyone.
There's no such thing as "warning" this is not 8 years old kids. Referees in the pro ranks are not there to "coach" and warn players. Torres knew what he was doing, the referee gave him a chance on the first one which could-should have been red then let one foul go then the obvious second yellow. Please there's absolutely no debate there.
According to the rules and the spirit of the rules, the first one could have been a red and the second one was a yellow 100% of the time.
Busquets should have gotten a yellow though that's obvious.
Are you actually serious? Please explain how exactly.
It was a bad tackle.
In particular, a referee has no obligation to save a player from his own stupidity. If Torres wants to play in the latter stages of the CL, he better show the necessary discipline and refrain from idiotic but possibly harmful charges on the center line.There's no such thing as "warning" this is not 8 years old kids.

You guys make no sense, you have zero argument only complete bias. Stay in your ignorance and subjectivity all you want.

If you can watch that and tell me it was a egregious foul and not a blatant dive and attempt to receive contact from Torres by Busquets I'll drop it. Look how quickly Busquets is down and writing in pain from that faint brush of legs.
You'd think he'd stop getting calls because of his reputation for doing this all-the-time, but we all know that won't happen...
