Everton Bad Boys, 1999-2000
With a 50,000
suspended fine imposed from Season 1998-99, and a further 75,000 hanging
over them this season, the woeful disciplinary record for Everton's
First Team players was actually improving... until much despised referee Andy D'Urso struck at
Leeds. |

It appears that the Rotherham incident was counted as a previous red card, or carried an additional suspended sentence of a further one-match ban. Dunne was also sent off when playing for the Republic of Ireland, but this should not have been counted in his club-level punishment. Notes:

The method used here to calculate points in the table above works like this:
|
The system is designed to reflect the relative impact to the club of each player's indiscretions. For example, although the various red-card offences carry different suspensions, the initial impact of all red cards is the same: the player misses the rest of the match. Then the suspension follows, and the player misses one or more complete matches. |
The Football Association's current disciplinary system for the 1999-2000
season works like this:
Yellow Cards
Red Cards
Periods of suspension will commence on the 14th day following the date of the last offence, and shall cover all domestic League, League Cup, FA Challenge Cup matches and Friendly matches, until such time that he player's recognised senior team has completed the number of matches appropriate to the punishment. Any period of suspension or part thereof which remains outstanding at the end of a season must be served at the commencement of the next following season. |
