Yellow card situation

[drc]

If I have the correct stats Wellens have 4 yellow card and could therefore be suspended one game if he gets another beofore the end of february (is that the correct rules ?)

Otherwise i don't think anyone close to the staring eleven is in any danger (Bruno have 3 me thinks).

[Wymsey]

5 yellow = 1 game ban (don't know if its immediately the next game)

I didn't think time came into the equation? I thought it was just throughout the entire season? I may be wrong though.

I was wrong about the February thing, hah

[drc]

you can see the stats here

http://footballstats.telegraph.co.uk/LeagueRankings10.aspx?SeasonID=105&Type=1

Tio: sort by position and you can see nuber of yellow cars below 5. Richie is high up there in fouls received and fouls conceeded also.

otherwise I read this (I'm not sure if it's the same rules today )

Disciplinary system

All yellow cards from the previous season are wiped out. However, any outstanding suspensions from the previous season due to red cards must be served at the start of the season (this did not apply to any Reading player for the 2007/08 season).

Any period of suspension for a red card will commence with the next game.

Any period of suspension for a yellow card will commence on the 7th day after the last offence (for example, if a player gets his fifth booking on a Saturday, any suspension would start from the following Saturday).

For disciplinary purposes, first team games and reserve games are treated separately. The only exception is that a player receiving a red card for violent conduct or serious foul play will be banned from all competitions until the relevant number of first team games have been missed.

Periods of suspension are as follows:

5 yellow cards - suspended for one match if accumulated before the last day of February (otherwise a warning)

10 yellow cards - suspended for two matches if accumulated before the second Sunday in April (otherwise a severe warning)

15 yellow cards - suspended for three matches

20 yellow cards (and every multiple of five thereafter) - punishment decided by disciplinary hearing

Red card for two yellow cards - suspended for one match

Red card for denying a goalscoring opportunity - suspended for one match

Red card for offensive language or gestures - suspended for two matches

Red card for violent conduct or serious foul play - suspended for three matches

Suspensions for red cards are increased by one game for each red card received earlier in the season.

Ok ok ok hang on there - I'm confused with the following:

5 yellow cards - suspended for one match if accumulated before the last day of February (otherwise a warning)

SO - if someone gets 4 yellows before the end of Feb then they are free after Feb to pick up another 5 before anything happens? Hmmm ok!

If he is going to get a 1 game ban I'd say Barnsley is not a bad time to pick one up, so he misses the home game against Bristol City and is back for Derby away

Dont talk shit.

I hope Wellens can hold on until the end of February so we dont lose him. We have had a good disciplinary record this season, hopefully that continues and we dont lose anyone, especially Wellens.

so this is the game we need Wellens to stay away from being booked !
