Bridcutt close to another suspension

[AZ Gull]

Bridcutt picked up his ninth yellow card at Blackburn last night, meaning another booking any time before the 2nd Sunday in April will result in a 2-game ban.

While we have a relatively fit midfield he may as well go through a few gooners and pick the 10th up.

In his role, he will get the card at some stage soon and that two game ban. Shame, star this season, again.

In non combative games, we seem to have got that old habit back of collecting stacks of yellows.
It seems strange for a 'skilled' team that haven't got a reputation for rough house tactics.

Didn't the yellow card count get wiped over Xmas/New Year? Sure they said that on the radio last night too

Weren't they wiped on 1st Jan?

No, might as well serve his suspension after he's moved to Norwich

You do not get a ban for five yellows now, only for ten or fifteen.

He's got 9.

That's what I thought. They referred to this last night on BBC Sussex

Yep. Starts again.

Very difficult to find references. It would appear to me that there is an amnesty for 5 to the 31st December, then the second week in April for 10.

[h=4]ANSWER PROVIDED BY REFEREE JOE MCHUGH[/h]
According to the FA Disciplinary Rules 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 .
If a player receives a 5th caution after the 31st December they will be warned as to their future conduct.
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.
Players from the Premier League have benefited from the change to the date of the yellow card amnesty with the cut off date for five cautions now reduced to 31 December.
Previously, players collecting five yellow cards prior to the final day in February were subject to a one-match suspension.
Sanctions for players accumulating 10 and 15 cautions remain in place as do their respective amnesty periods.
In summary Joey Barton will not be suspended for one game on reaching 5 cautions after the 31/12/2010 but he does carry forward the 5 cautions and he will face a two game suspension should he reach 10 cautions by 10th April 2011.

There is no such thing as cards "getting wiped". A player receiving 5 bookings before Dec 31 incurs an automatic 1-game ban; therefore, a player on 4 bookings prior to that deadline faces a ban if they pick up another booking by Dec 31. If they avoid a fifth yellow until AFTER Dec 31, they won't have to serve an automatic 1-game ban (Ashley Barnes was in this position, having picked up his 4th booking on September 18, but he managed to avoid getting booked again before the end of the year).

Bridcutt picked up his 5th booking against Leeds and was suspended for the Peterborough game. If he picks up his 10th booking before the 2nd Sunday in April, he will serve an automatic 2-game ban.

I see you read my post after I had done a bit of research.
