Yes I believe there is a cut-off/amnesty type thingy whereby yellow cards don't count anymore for the current season. It may be after the Easter period??
One match ban for five yellows from start of season to 31 December, two match ban for ten yellows from start of season to second Sunday in April, no bans for hitting five or ten after those dates - I think it's three games for fifteen yellows at any point in the season though, and suspensions carry into the next season too. Or summat.
Yes, for 10 bookings it is 14th April. Basically unless they get booked in every game from now until then, they won't be suspended for accumulated yellows.
It's 10 bookings for a suspension now and Foster is the closest with 8. Next most after that is Mellis (5). Our disciplinary record is fantastic this year to be fair. Only Mellis & Foster have had 5+ bookings.
