I've started to reply to this about 4 times and stopped, but I'm going to give it a shot. From the OP some things are not clear:
1. What is it that every defender does when the ball is in his area?
2. What was the context of the conversation between the forward and the AR? Was it dissent or was he questioning what happened.
3.Was the gesture one of disrespect to the AR or was it something else? If it was a gesture of disrespect it's a card. If it's not, then how can you judge?
4. And the most important question was raised by kusskke - What was said in the disscussion between the AR and CR? There could have been something going on that no one in the stands knows about. For whatever reason, it was deemed not a cardable offense.
I 've tried to picture this play, but for me it's going to have to go down as one of those I'd have to have been there to be able to answer whether or not he deserved a card. I just have some unaswered questions from the OP.
