I think it's a yellow card for doing that hand signal. I also think it should be subject to punishment afterwards if the ref didn't see it. Do it twice and you're out of the game. While they're at it, they can also hand out cards for crowding the ref and being injured outside of the pitch but then crawling back onto it to be able to delay play. In fact, if they do that I think one person in the audience should be shot at random.
Any thoughts on this?

Indeed. But what if a player put his hand to an imaginary pocket in his shorts, where a card could conceivably be hidden?...he hasn't pulled it out, but is the intention there? I'd introduce amber cards for this

Telling the ref that it was a booking stays between the two of you.
The only difference is that we see it happen so we care. It's that simple (and stupid imo)... no one gives a fuck if its person to person - its usually the foreigners doing it too cos of language barriers which fits the cheating foreigner stereotype.
