Lampard admitted to being 'emotional' after seeing red against Rotherham

"It's a new rule this year, yellow and red cards," Lampard said.

"My issue with it was that other managers and assistants are leaving areas all the time to talk to fourth officials and shout to the referee or linesman, and it's not being dealt with.
