Quick Question on Footy Rules...

Dubai Blue · March 4, 2015

So Barry got his 10th yellow in the Chelsea game meaning he would get a 2-match ban missing both Leicester and Arsenal.

However since he got his 11th in the same game and thus sent off, did that mean he only got a 1-match ban and the double yellow in same game offense superseded the 10th yellow in the season offense?

Either way the guy played vs Arsenal and I am confused why.

ffs you folded too quickly

That's a crazy loop hole. Why would a lesser offense supersede the higher? Surely that can be exploited.

A sending off is not the lesser offence. Because he got a two-yellow red, the 10th yellow is wiped from the books. He's officially sitting on nine yellows.

I think what we did was illegal and we may face a points deduction as a fine.

6 pt deduction and we're right in the relegation zone.

Thanks barry, ffs.

Thinking a four point fine will be sufficient, and the Villa fans can say " At least were not Everton "

It can be exploited in terms of picking which game to win, yes, but it's still a harsher punishment. Because he was given a second yellow, it nullified both yellows, meaning he's still on 9 for the season. One more and he gets the 2 game suspension.

On that subject, I miss that @JamesBT lid posting his bird, and if it's not his bird any more then all the more reason to share, in fact I reckon he could probably wangle a free upgrade if there were promises of some sideboob etc.

They should thrown the book at Barry tbh.
