Cahill/Suspended Yellow Card Update!

[Neiler]

From The Offical site:


Tim Cahill is suspended for next week's visit of Tottenham.

Cahill joins Tony Hibbert on the sidelines for the game after picking up his fifth caution of the season in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Chelsea.

Hibbert received his fifth yellow card of the campaign against Wigan and also misses the game.

Phil Neville is now on four yellow cards, and a further booking before the end of February would see him incur a one-match ban - Steven Pienaar is in the same situation.

And a further European booking for Joseph Yobo would see the defender banned for one game.

Manuel Fernandes received a yellow card for dissent against Chelsea, but that censure was the first booking of its type Everton have received all season - the lowest in the Premier League.

i dont understand - i didnt see cahill get booked last night??

the ban is confirmed on the FA website too http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/Disciplinary/SuspensionLists/PendingPlayers.htm

but i dont remember tim seeing yellow yesterday!?

can anyone shed any light on this??

GOOD! I am glad this gives Cahill a break. It might do him good! On a side note, why didn't Hibbert's suspension apply to last night's game?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

The ref was waving his card around willy nilly so it was easily missed. I wonder what team Moyes will put out against Spurs now though. With Hibbert out that means Neville to right back, so are we likely to see 442 with Arteta-Osman-Manny-Carsley the midfield?

Unless Da Silva or VDM make some kind of lazarus style comeback I can't see any other option.

 

[jaymarsuperstar]

i think because the ban comes into effect after 7 days

therefore if there was a domestic game at weekend cahill could play

Two week break for Cahill.

Not a bad deal.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

He needs it he was neutralised last night by Mahelele.

 

[TX Bill]

Yep.

Makalele tends to do that to the opposition.

In the breakaway when Valente got booked, you could see in the background on the half way line Cahill dragged SWP to the floor, so after he cautioned Valente he did Cahill too

I didn't see Cahill get booked, I didn't even see him take out SWP! Even the Everton website hasn't got him down as being booked in the statistics.
