Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 28, 2023

Not to mention the red card is yellow.

Pre-emptive foul.

first, why the red card is yellow? (unless I’m going color-blind here). Secondly, you two be gentlemen and fight in the game, please.

No biff clouds allowed on the pitch!

@Ling Today’s strip IS funny but it’s been done , the way the ref sends off our HERO Mr Andrew Capp and Chalkie before the game starts is Classic ;o) my avatar is a spoof of GOD wanting to sue the terrorists for using his name, but where can he find a lawyer in heaven ;oP come passerai il vostro Sabato mio piu meno vecchio amicho? our Saturday should be relatively calm we are both in a good mood and with no shopping too do or errands to run, we will just keep inside the house and keep hydrated because it’’s stormy outside keep safe and a bientot pal

The ref IS wearing RED socks.

Ref has a red card with Andy’s picture on it.

As both Managers shake their Heads in despair…

noooo wayyyyyy.

But that’s a yellow, or am i going colour blind?

They are off the field. Now to continue the “discussion” in the nearest Public House.

Good printed sound effects – “BIFF!” “PEEP! PEEP!” I think the “PEEP! PEEP!” should have come from the ref’s direction though.

Ref had a change of heart? Red to yellow?

The Count actually has a rugby shirt like Andy’s. No kidding. Time to dig into the closet archives and find it.

The colourists are morons… Or is there a red/yellow colour-blind condition?

Andy’s just hangin’ with his "peep"s.

When I refereed, I would often, in my instruction to the players tell them that the secret to avoid getting a caution or an ejection from me was to play to the 4Ps … 1) Play by the rules 2) Play the ball not the man 3) Pay attention to my whistle and most importantly, 4) Don’t pi… ah … Don’t perturb me!

Andy will just let his antagonist buy him a beer!

Red card? It’s yellow.

Yes, he can, Andy!

Nah is wearing a purple striped game shirt!

color blind ref

Where’s the red Tag it looks Hello to me

Pre-game jitters?

Hanson bros. HOCKEY! https://youtu.be/v_bLQQDJ7yo

Do colorists even READ the strip?

Some commenters apparently don’t even glance at the prior comments.

Andy is getting too old to both brawl and play so he’s got to decide before each game which one it will be.

Looks more like a yellow card to me. Looks like the colorist screwed up.

As Jesus said to Lucifer a hell of a place you have here; Lucifer replies, would not be so bad if the politicians would quit lying and shut up so the lawyers would quit objecting!

Besides, ref – you’ve got a yellow card…

That looks like a yellow card.

I do recall one instance where I had to break up a fight between two opposing players prior to the match. While I couldn’t eject them from a match that hadn’t started, I did inform the coaches that, although neither team would be penalized for the misconduct of their player, in the interest of safety and fair play, I would not allow either player to participate.

I also had the dubious distinction of having to eject two young women from a tournament match for fighting … and they were on the same team! ( It had to do with one stealing the other’s with a boyfriend, naturally. )

You cannot raise a yellow card and call out a red card. You can get to a red if it is a second yellow, but you call it out that way.

I get that the colorist messed up, but unless there is an initial tear off panel I’m not seeing here, there is no rugby or soccer ball to be seen!
