why i was hoping fab would be sent off

[rolypoly]

correct me if i am wrong but having been booked, which was his second booking of the competition, had fab deliberately got himself a second yellow card for a minor offence eg handball and sent off, he would have got suspension out of way both for sending off and third booking against olympiakos , a game he is unlikely to play in anyway and have clean slate for knock out stage.

right orwrong? genius or stupid? aint had time to look up the rules.

genius

doesn't the yellow cards count get cleared up for the knockout stages, like in the world cup?

(that's just me trying to guess)

A sending off would have been more then a one match ban and would have included the knockout stages.

I believe that all 'outstanding' yellows would be wiped after the group stages finish.

I'm not sure how that works with another yellow being picked up in the last game. (not a sending off). I'm sure you'd still have to serve a ban.

I.e if Cesc picked up another booking against Olympiakos I'm sure he'd still have to serve a one match ban which would be in the knock out stages. Where as all single yellows would have the slate wiped clean.

thanks for that but are you sure more than one match ban for two yellows in one game. i thought it was one match ban for starters only increased if eg violent conduct reason for sending off

Stupid!!! Yellow cards are wiped out at the end of the group stage


2 x yellow = 1 match ban. 3 match is for straight red

Sadly, I'm not sure.

I think it was a sensible (slightly Genius) way of missing the next game. You'd never quite know what the ref would actually send you off for. He only needed a yellow to get banned.
Besides, I'd doubt as a professional player he'd not want a dismissal on his records.

I would have said stupid without even reading your post

Was I right that dispite the yellows being wiped for the group stages that if you picked up a second yellow (not sending off) you'd still have to serve the ban in the 1st game of the knock out?

Personally this is not something I condone.

It's cheating.

And wouldn't the media have a bloody field day with it, another bloody stick to beat the team with.

I recall playing at power league one night when a foward got past me with fine turn and finished past the keeper. I had our goalie shouting at me that I should have tripped him up from behind and taken a sin bin. I told him to fuck right off and that I wasn't a cheat.

Can't have it I'm afraid.

Hopfully, you were sent to the sin bin telling your Keeper to 'fuck off'!?

But when it comes to "helping out" forum member's wives, you wouldn't mind a red card or two, eh Number 5?

Anything else in life, I'm quite the standard bearer for integrity.

Plus if a man can't take care of business in the marital bed he deserves all he (or in this case his wife) gets.

Cesc got himself booked deliberately to get a ban a couple of years ago. I can't remember against who? We had a Carling Cup game or something coming up.
