It's the closing minutes of the Wigan-Manchester City encounter at the DW Stadium.
City are looking to make a counter-attack, when a long ball over the top is deliberately handled on the half-way line by Maynor Fugueroa.
In the technical area, City manager Roberto Mancini is waving an imaginary red card at referee Martin Atkinson.
Atkinson ignores Mancini's promptings, and holds up a yellow to the Wigan defender.
But why is Mancini holding up an imaginary red card? It was only a few weeks ago, that the Italian was apologising for a similar reaction against Liverpool.
He gave us the impression then, that his touchline aberration was a 'heat of the moment' one-off.
In his post-match Wigan interview, Mancini plays down the red-card waving, saying that he can't influence the referee from the touchline.
But that is far from the point.
Mancini is a leader.
He is the one that sets the moral tone for the team.
He leads they follow.
He might feel he is not influencing the referee, but he is certainly trying to.
There is something inherently wrong about the manner in which Mancini is conducting himself.
He is adopting the behaviours brought into the English game by players from abroad.
Holding up imaginary cards; waving a finger at the officials if a decision goes against them.
Those responses have now become 'acceptable' in the game.
Even though they are clearly wrong.
Now Mancini is bringing theatrical over-reaction to the touchline.
In Italy this may be considered part and parcel of the theatre of football.
In England it isn't.
Mancini needs to be told in no uncertain terms by the governing body, this his red-card waving antics don't belong here.
Failure to do so, will simply lead to copy-cat behaviour by emotionally charged, under-pressure bosses.
The pressure is mounting game by game on Mancini.
Each match feels like a cup-final as City and United battle it out at the top of the league.
And that pressure loads into the emotions.
The wealthy City owners expect success.
And Mancini's job is to carry that burden of expectation.
Perhaps his card waving antics, betray his own internal anxieties.
Even the most passionate touchline characters like Neil Warnock or Ian Holloway, were never found be holding up imaginary red-cards at the officials.
It's not something grown men do! Yes they have let the officials know in robust terms, that they disagree with their decisions.
But the holding up of cards, somehow breaks the unspoken code.
The code which says that you do not try and get a fellow professional sent-off.
When the Argentina players used the surrounding the referee tactic to successfully get David Beckham sent-off in the 1998 World Cup, it was seen to be typically Argentinian.
Players who would do anything to win.
However unfair.
But in England fairness is meant to be one of core values, that upholds the games fine and long-standing traditions.
Mancini's actions appear inappropriate because he is breaking the code.
He doesn't care if an opponent gets sent off.
Because as manager of Manchester City, all that matters to him right now, is winning.
