Booking please

[Valiant62]

... for Tom Pope in the last minute of injury time on Satdy (assuming he hasn't already been booked) I favour a time wasting kicking the ball away because we're 2-0 up.

Followed by a one match suspension in JPT and a much improved disciplinary record thereafter.

[Tosh]

What if the JPT game gets called off for whatever reason he'd then have to miss the Chesterfield game!

[Jacko51]

Why not just avoid another booking until 31 December then he won't get a suspension anyway?

[paulvaliant]

If he doesn't get booked in his next two games, does he then have a yellow card wiped off for going 5 games without a booking??

Is that right Jacko, I thought that it was up until the end of November.

Will check, Nelly, but I'm pretty sure it's December.

[cooperpvfc]

five bookings is a bit of a joke to get a suspension anyway.

No, I think they tried that rule for one season about 15 years ago but then scrapped it.

So NO booking please Tom, for the rest of this year! ;)

[Dangerous]

To be fair forwards shouldn't be getting booked regularly, there will be the odd miss timed challenge but there's no excuse for getting booked for dissent as both Pope and Vincent have quite a few times this season. I'll let them off because of all the goals they've scored but I hope MA has had a word with them to keep their mouths shut in future.

 

If Pope doesn't get booked on Saturday will MA risk him getting booked in the JPT game?

JPT is a ****poor competition - unless you win it (a bit like the 1972 League cup). We have a decent chance of getting through to the fourth round and giving it a go - 1000 hardy souls headed off to walsall in the last round too. We're not going to win the FA cup right? Promotion is the priority, but for a club like ours I don't see why people are so down on the paint pot. So Popey, saintly behaviour 'til after crimbo please.

Agree the league has to be the priority.

Should take his shirt off when he scores his 3rd against Sheffield Utd...

[davehartshill]

No way. I want Popey up front terrorising Bradford in the JPT game as well. I want us to have a good go at winning it to be honest.
