Where do you put the caution card?
In your left, right or back pocket, or, in your shirt pocket.
Do you carry one or two sets of cards around with you?

Left shirt pocket, yes I carry two sets, almost by default as I have the cards separate but carry a set in my card wallet....

I think the caution card should be in the right shorts pocket and nowhere else.
The red card in the back pocket perhaps.
I think it makes for a much better selling of the decision to get the caution card out and then carry it quickly to where you are going.
It seems to me to be a bit slow when it is up in the top pockets and referees appear to fumble around when it is up there and everyone is left wondering, well, what have they decided here?

Hi JD, Tried the yellow card in the right shorts pocket yesterday. I liked it. Had an incident where two players got up pushing and shoving following a reckless tackle. Reached immediately into my right pocket, pulled out the yellow card, held it down as I jogged over to the two players, they saw me coming with the card in my hand (held down) and straight away they stopped their bickering. I then raised the card to the player who committed the reckless tackle. Worked a treat. Thanks for the tip.

I like the sound of your player management style Eca.
You had only one caution for the incident, but, there was also some pushing and shoving happening, which, could have been, 2 or maybe even 3 cautions in some people's view.
But instead you say you got there quickly, dealt with the orginal issue, and the caution in the pocket trick worked to stop the incident continuing any further as well.

Oh yes, the spare set. It is a good idea to ahve the spare set in the top pocket. Good idea.
Nothing worse than dropping your caution card somehow and then being stuck having to ask the player for it back who is running around the field showing it to everyone having a great laugh!!! I had that happen once.
A good idea for the assistant referees to also have a set each as well just in case so they can help the ref out if there is a need of a spare.

My preference and suggestion is:
YC in left short pocket - Double yellows are quicker and easier as I issue caution with left and send off with right. No getting one card out and then putting it back and getting the next out then. RC in back pocket - allows time to think am I 100% sure I am correct. Notebook in Shirt (I also use write on cards so this is just in case I want longer notes on an incident). Agree spare cards are good idea.

I have tried keeping the yellow and red cards seperate on a few occasions. But invariably I go back the keeping both in the wallet in my top left shirt pocket. I have NEVER pulled the wrong card out because I can see both when I get the wallet out.
