Re: Tonights Referee

What time is kick off im still at flippen work?.

This might be a stupid question, but why is it so significant that 6 players got booked last week and are in the starting 11 today?

Because if they get booked again tonight they'll be suspended for the next game.

So 2 bookings = a suspension?

That's what I thought - this is taken from Regulations of the UEFA Europa League

Article 22
Yellow and red cards
22.01 As a rule, a player who is sent off the field of play is suspended for the next
match in a UEFA club competition. The Control and Disciplinary Body is
entitled to augment this punishment. For serious offences the punishment
can be extended to all UEFA competition categories.
22.02 In case of repeated cautions:
a) before the group stage, a player is suspended for the next competition
match after two cautions in two different matches, as well as after the
fourth and sixth caution;
b) from the first match in the group stage, a player is suspended for the next
competition match after three cautions in three different matches, as well
as following any subsequent odd-numbered caution (fifth, seventh, ninth,
etc.).
22.03 Single yellow cards and pending suspensions are always carried forward
either to the next stage of the competition or to another club competition in
the current season.
22.04 Exceptionally, single cautions that are received before the group stage and
have not resulted in a suspension expire on completion of the play-offs.
22.05 Cautions and pending yellow-card suspensions from club competition
matches expire at the end of the season.

Was Craig Burley being serious when he asked whether or not Mancini would be disappointed if Tevez scored the goal that wins us the league?
