Was that his fith yellow card on tuesday? Big loss if it was especially as the tackle he put in was brilliant and he 100% played the ball. Goebern should relish this opportunity on saturday to really show what he can do for us. I was impressed with him on tuesday when he came on, thought he looked bright and could have scored a goal.
Glad you said that SAINTDON13. I had a vision of us missing a suspension and having points deducted...nervous sweat time.
No we are into the second half of the season so he can get up to another 3 before a one match ban comes into effect. He very much was hard done by with the booking on Tuesday. I think he got it because the foot was slightly raised.
Found this on another board, no idea what the source is but it looks official! The fines look a bit daft for professional footballers though: 5 Cautions If a player receives 5 cautions between the first day of the season and 31st December they will be suspended for a period of 1 match and be fined ã15. If a player receives a 5th caution after the 31st December they will be warned as to their future conduct. 10 Cautions If a player receives 10 cautions between the first day of the season and the second Sunday in April they will be suspended for a period of 2 matches and be fined ã15. If a player receives a 10th caution after the second Sunday in April they will be severely censured and warned as to their future conduct. 15 Cautions If a player receives 15 cautions playing between the first and last day of the season they will be suspended for a period of 3 matches and be fined ã15. 20+ Cautions If a player is cautioned 20 times between the first and last day of the season they will be charged with continuing misconduct. For every 5 cautions they receive thereafter they will be charged with continuing misconduct. The suspension received is from ALL football and is cleared by the qualifying matches that he received the cautions for. For example, if a player receives 15 first team cautions they will be suspended from all football until the first team have completed the relevant number of qualifying fixtures.
Actually that sounds like amateur rules, although I think they apply equally to the professional game except the fines of course........
although i really like chaplow as a player, whether you get the ball or not if both feet come of the ground and your studs are showing then it is definately a yellow sometimes a red
