.. so then if Ramos had played Auxierre and received a yellow he'd then be suspended from the knock-out stage due to an accumulated total of two yellow cards? This is what confuses me about the alleged tactic of getting the yellow out of the way by getting a second booking for time-wasting
He will now be suspended for the next match and back to zero cards.
I am not sure which but confuses you.

Why should the slate be wiped clean? If they've been booked it's nobody else's fault except the player himself. The referee makes the decision on the pitch and that's what's wrong, too many people in studios picking referees performances to pieces. They call it as they see it, you and I don't always agree with it but it's not going to change anytime soon. So if they've accumulated a few bookings and risk the chance to miss a game in the knockout stages, tough shit, they shouldn't have got booked in the first place.
Bollocks, what you say is all well and good IF YOU COULD APPEAL YELLOW CARDS, which you cannot. SO like Zabba picked up a yellow for a non-foul Vs Fulham and is now suspended for a game. The whole world could see it was not a foul, but according to your rules, tough shit. That is wank. It is makes me say, Jose played to the rules in book and tough shit on UEFA as they can't do anything about it. If they didn't want this situation to arise then they shouldn't have a stupid totting up rule of yellow cards that carry accross.
