CS red cards?

[RandomJ]

Does anyone know what the rules are regarding red cards for the CS? As we're not technically in the season yet do they get disregarded or do they carry through to the season?

Don't think they do count for the season , no.

I seem to recall this being brought up , and answered on an Arsenal site about 3 years back.

Stupid if they aren't counted because that just gives the Rags licence to break Silva's leg and then miss the rest of the match but play first game of the season.

True, but it also allows Nige to kung fu kick them in the face if they try it...

All cards administered in pre season friendlies/community shield count towards PL matches, only if they are played in the UK.

EDIT: In fact it might be worldwide. Didn't Vieria get a 3 game ban for the TC he picked up in the US last year? Think he did didn't he?

Have things changed from a couple of years back ?

A red card will only count if it is for violent conduct. Bookings and other red cards don't count. That is according to Martin Tyler anyway.
