Oh eck, ref for tomorrow...

[Trigger]

Urs Meier (Switzerland)

Euro 2004 stats...
Games 2
Yellow Cards 13
Red Cards 1

He looks a bit of a card happy chappy and with us beating Switzerland too...

 

[itszamora]

At least we can't get Mike Riley..

 

[John Dorian]

the worst one is the guy from sweden. the one with the blonde locks that makes all his actions look so animated and crap.

 

[CAFC Matt]

Will be interesting to see if Rooney can survive the game

 

[Captain Sensible]

Are all yellow cards wiped after group stage?

 

[Yorkie]

Are all yellow cards wiped after group stage?

Yes. All start with clean sheets again.

 

[Captain Sensible]

Good. If our Wayne can play like he did with conviction and just the right amount of aggression he won't do a Gascoigne if we could get to the final.

 

[Marc]

Yes. All start with clean sheets again.

I think thats wrong, in the Ger v Cze game last night they said a couple of players we're rested due to being on yellows and it was too risky to play them knowing they could get banned for the 1/4 match....I'll research some more.

 

[Wozza]

No, they're definitely wiped after first round.

The Czechs were being rested, that's all.

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

Definitely wiped out. Commentators eh? Some of them can't even tell the difference between Vassell and Campbell

 

[Marc]

cant find anything apart from yellow's in qualifying matches wiped before the tournament starts. yeah damn commentators....useless!

If they already had one yellow from the group stages, a second would have resulted in a one match ban (for the quarter final).

It is definitely a clean slate now - so unless you get booked in the quarter and the semi-final you are OK!

 

[Robbo]

If you get TWO bookings in the group stages, the suspension is carried over.

If you only have one booking after the group stages have finished, that yellow card is wiped from the slate.

Hence, when the Croatia game was sewn up by england, Sven took off Rooney, Scholes and Lampard to prevent them getting a second booking which would have meant they would have missed the Q Final.

Simple really.

That'll be Mr Frisk then, the :safeway referee of the championship.
