In the games so far this season:
Man Utd vs. Middlesbrough Yellow: None Red: None Chelsea vs. Man Utd Yellow: Scholes Ferdinand Neville Berbatov Rooney Evra Ronaldo Red: None Man Utd vs. Villarreal Yellow: Tevez Red: None Liverpool vs. Man Utd Yellow: Tevez Vidic Nani Red: Vidic Man Utd vs. Zenit St Petersburg Yellow: Scholes Tevez Anderson Red: Scholes Portsmouth vs. Man Utd Yellow: Vidic Neville Red: None So that gives us 14 yellow cards and 2 red cards in 6 games, is that normal for Unitd ?  |

Vidic's and Schole's cards could easily have been avoided, it was just frustration due to the poor start to the season. Once things pick up we won't get many reds. We are normally a well disciplined side in terms of cards. The cards in the Chelsea game we know was a bit a of a farce.

Against Villareal I knew we'd end up getting a stupid booking. 2 shocking challenges on both Park & Fletch went unpunished and I said that one of our players would get carded for something less and Tevez ended up being booked for a nothing challenge. Against Chelsea, well that was just a farce TBH. I can understand Scholesy getting booked because he had a few nibbles earlier in the match and also Nev because he lunged in at Anelka. Also Rooney's wasn't really a surprise because he lunged at Ashely Cole, but the rest of them were more or less for nothing yet Joe Cole gets away with cynically bringing down Rio, he didn't even get carded

Tevez really likes to go in for the lunging tackle, with both legs looking to take the ball and the man at the same time. Sometimes it works, but more often than not, the player in possession just knocks the ball away, thus earning Carlitos a yellow card.

I 100% agree that our disciplinary record has gone downhill this season.. I made a comprehensive thread about it earlier in the Newbies.. Which clearly showed that our percent of receiving one has gone up by almost 2/3rds.. If any one is interested I could post it up here... Its shows number of games played yellows/red received and average of yellows received per game... for the last 2 seasons in comparison to this season...

The bookings at Chelsea were ridiculous.
The ref, as Fergie said, has been rewarded for being a moron by the Head of Refs - he's got the biggest game of the day to ref. We all know, that had he given seven card to the bin dippers, he would have been demoted to League 2 for the week |

Updated Hull (H)
Rafael and Tevez have one yellow card each in the Champions League so far.
Three yellow cards from the group stage onwards means a one match suspension and then a further one match ban after five, seven yellows etc. Domestic yellow cards so far: Four Yellows Rooney Three Yellows Brown Two Yellows Fletcher Vidic Evra Tevez One Yellow Neville Ferdinand Scholes Nani Ronaldo Campbell Berbatov A one match suspension is handed out if a player receives five yellows before the end of February. A two match suspension is handed out if a player picks up 10 yellows before the second Sunday in April. |
