Pep's yellow card accumulation - possible targeting by PL PGMOL

[Blue_Lightsaber]

I know he was suspended when he got his 3rd yellow for the wolves game from being on the touch line and he picked up another yellow yesterday.

How many yellows is it for him to get suspended again per the rules now?

I don't know since they keep making up rules as they go along..

Rules for managers’ yellow cards were modified this season.
3 yellows: One game touchline ban
8 yellows: Two game touchline ban
16 yellows: Misconduct hearing
These apply over the entire season - no cutoff half way through like there is for players. Red cards are (obviously) more serious and trigger an automatic hearing and potential additional punishment.

I think it’s a bit silly to even have yellow cards for non players.

It’s like you’re legitimatising them acting like dicks, as long as they don’t go past the ‘caution’ stage.

Not surprised Pep gets yellows, if I was on the touchline I’d get reds most games with all the corruption and cheating going on, it’s fuckin ridiculous..!!! Good on Pep, he knows what’s happening but occasionally he loses it..! Quite fuckin right too..!

Yesterday, Bernardo barged unfairly off the ball by Souza, who did this all over the pitch, all game. Incredible number of fouls. The incompetent referee gives no foul. At the other end, any Sheffield United player even slightly touched...instant foul. I'd be on the pitch if I was Pep, it is just corrupt.

Yeah my wife said the same.. hard fouls on City players not given, but a shoulder tackle or a slight push and instant whistle for the opposition.

It's clearly rigged and part of their agenda to make players think twice about signing for City.

It's the forward backing into the defender foul that gets me, every single time there's a ball pumped up field by the opposition they get a free kick and a lot of times a booking for our defender.
Does my nut in as it dosent happen in anyone else's games, and when haaland does it it usually ends up being a free kick to the opposition

Different rules apply to other managers. Arteta should have at least one every game.

There's paranoia and then there's this.
(Happy New Year anyway.)

I have no problem with anything Pep does. I love it when he goes berserk on the touch line. More power to his passionate elbow.
