Booked. Next. You saw the foul before it finished happening.
Quick whistle, fast card, no appeals process. You clock the foul before it's finished happening — sometimes, the Eye notes, slightly before it starts. Your booking record off the pitch is extensive and beautifully organized: the friend who's 'on thin ice' and doesn't know it, the ex who's red-carded from existence and three mutual friendships, the coworker currently playing on a second yellow they were never informed of. Justice from you is swift, decisive, and occasionally previous. You keep receipts the way other people keep houseplants — alive, watered, arranged by date. And the Eye understands the architecture underneath, because it's load-bearing too: somewhere back there, you waited. You gave a benefit of the doubt that got spent against you, you let something slide that slid directly into you, and you decided the lesson was speed. Never again the slow whistle. The question the Eye keeps replaying in the booth: how many of those cards were fouls — and how many were just people moving fast near something you love?
