Yellow Peril
Comments (8)
I notice that we still have a couple of players still on 4 yellows for the season so far.
I heard that next Saturday is the last date before the amnesty. But that players on 4 yellows playing on Sunday (1st March) will not be walking the disciplinarty tightrope. Hardly seems fair to me as there are 4 games scheduled for Sunday, but rules is rules.
If Neville or Lescott do fall foul of the referee against WBA which game do they miss Blackburn on March 4th or the FA Cup?
If it's the cup-tie maybe DM should rest either or both of these players.

Anthony, if Moyes had the luxury of a full team, he might have rested Neville & Lescott.
With the injuries we have now, there is no way Moyes can afford to rest anybody - leave alone key players like Neville & Lescott.
Let us hope that Pienaar, Saha, Vaughany, Osman return to fitness quickly - otherwise, we could have another famous ’Everton taile-end’ of the season.
Anthony, excuse my ingorance and and laziness in not googling this myself, but what is the amnesty you refer to?
In my opinion, the manager should always name his best team, regardles of suspensions etc. Every game at this or any stage of the season is crucial, every point counts. The only time the manager should consider cards is if it counts towards an actual final.
Anthony, they would miss the cup game, suspensions kick in 7 days from when they were incurred.
Maybe we should organise a BNP rally for this Saturday, forcing police to change our game to the Sunday, then none of our players would be walking a suspension tightrope. Failing that, I would most definitely play our strongest team on Saturday, regardless of possible suspensions. We need to win on Saturday. so resting any player is unthinkable.
Lescott isn?t really the type of player to get yellows, his last one was against Villa for celbrating his goal, he has therefore been on 4 yellows for over 2 months. He will be alright (crosses fingers and sacrifices a tiny goat).
Tony,
Is that an unblemished goat or just a regular,tiny goat?
Santosh it is a slightly sullied goat, I am saving the "fresh" larger goat for if we get to the semis
