It weighs too much on the minds of players, and they are known to take a yellow to choose the game they miss. I'd rather the rule were :-
- two yellows in consecutive games = one match suspension
- three yellows in non-consecutive games = one match suspension
- five yellows in the competition = play no more games
I would do away with amnesties, the players only play fifteen games and I reckon the above is fair. You get a card's grace if you aren't booked in consecutive games and an outright ban for getting five yellows. I think that's pretty reasonable, should cut out plenty of needless yellows for time wasting, kicking the ball away, dissent etc.
Players will know that not getting booked five times in fifteen games isn't difficult, it also means instead of looking when to get booked for that suspension that they can't afford to take chances and chose to get booked and the game to miss. I certainly think it makes more sense than the current system
But that would mean more suspensions. Im just on about the final where the best players should be on show.
but if we get to the final and the mancs haveronaldo/rooney /tevez all suspended you'd be glad of the rule
