Derry & Suspension

[Ric-Roc]

Just read this on another site when a poster questioned Derry being banned after x amount of cards. It was put to him by a fan that all cards were wiped on 01/01/11 but this was his response;

There was an amnesty of the 5 card suspension at the end of December but there is still a suspension for hitting 10 / 15 bookings this season, and that will include all bookings up until 31st December. Derry has beem booked 10 times this season but one was in a cup game so I don't know if that will count towards the League, but 1 more booking in the League will result in a 2 game ban and thats for certain. Ask Charlie Adam he got his 10th last night

Can anyone clarify this?

I posted on another MB the section of the FA discipline books that applies to this scenario:

5 Cautions:
If a player receives 5 cautions between the first day of the season and 31st December they will be suspended for a period of 1 match and be fined £15.

If a player receives a 5th caution after the 31st December they will be warned as to their future conduct.

10 Cautions
If a player receives 10 cautions between the first day of the season and the second Sunday in April they will be suspended for a period of 2 matches and be fined £15.

If a player receives a 10th caution after the second Sunday in April they will be severely censured and warned as to their future conduct.

15 Cautions
If a player receives 15 cautions playing between the first and last day of the season they will be suspended for a period of 3 matches and be fined £15

20+ Cautions
If a player is cautioned 20 times between the first and last day of the season they will be charged with continuing misconduct. For every 5 cautions they receive thereafter they will be charged with continuing misconduct

Seems like that one applies then.

Cheers for posting. Looks like we will lose SD for 2 games at some point then. Not ideal at all.

SD could maybe do we a bit of a rest, so not a complete disaster (hopefully)

I kind of agree with that but who would fill the role successfully? Rowlands?

2nd Sunday in April eh, what are the chances of him not getting another one?

[Ric-Roc]

Lets hope its 2 of the 'weaker' sides.

Lets chip in and pay his fine.

[stainrodisalegend]

love the £15 quid fine, its like going back to Jimmy Hill's day - going to really ruin a footballer's week that is...

I know all games are vitally important now but id hate to go into a top of the table clash against Cardiff or Leeds without Derry,he holds us together.

Don't worry Warno is gonna work summit out so Derry will not miss the important games.
