A red from two bookings used to mean a two-match ban, but it was changed to one a few years back (maybe a couple of years, maybe more).
But Thudd gets two matches as it's his second red.
6 games he'll have missed without really making a tackle.

Losing Diame would have been a bigger part in us getting relegated.
The booking was light but Hudds shouldn't have put himself in that situation, it's a shame he hasn't got a clever brain to match his talent, I agree with what you said about him missing 5 games ruining his season and potentially oursNot sure what that has to with the Huddlestone situation...
Diame got crocked, not his fault. Huddlestone's going to miss six games because he can't keep a cool head.
Bruce should have taken him off after 48/49 minutes when he made a foul but they got the advantage. His next foul was always going to see a second yellow.
Makes Bruce's job easy to bring in diame!
I'm sorry, but missing six games of the season is unacceptable. He's a key player and one of our best paid player, who's going to miss a huge chunk of this season down to his own rashness/stupidity. Bitterly disappointing as he was starting to look himself again, but personally I think he should be fined by the club. He won't be as they won't want to upset him, but his lack of discipline could get us relegated.
Nah. Bruce pointed out the yellows were a bit soft all round, so he is hardly likely to throw the book at him when in truth he maybe should have taken him off early.
If he had done two of the first yellow, I may agree...
Agreed.I'm sorry but every player knows that when you're on a yellow, you're walking a tightrope. He could have walked on 48/49 minutes and he should have known that his next foul, especially in a dangerous area, would see a second yellow. I would have been flabbergasted if he'd got off with that second yellow.
Six games, eighteen potential points and one of our biggest players can't feature as he can't control himself. Had we lost yesterday I suspect some wouldn't be so forgiving and how we will do with compared to without him in these/those six games could easily be the difference between staying up and going down.

It's hardly like he lost it though is it? It wasn't even really a challenge, more like Vardy came bac across him just as he was about to try to get a foot in.
Admittedly, Dawson was covering but if that's a yellow card, along with Bruce and Dawson's, then there isn't much hope for the game as a competitive sport!
I think the booking and some of these comments are a bit harsh.
I wonder what people would be saying if Huddlestone hadn't chased Vardy all the way back and let him through to stick it in the back of the net?
Including the 4 he missed with his extended Christmas vacation.Sorry, I might have missed something.
Why does he miss six games?
