10 man reserves lose 2-1


Recommended Posts

Straight red card, 3 match suspension, will we see him again ?

Reads like Jacobson had another great game, what's he got to do to get a first team start ?

 

I'm sure new rules have been brought in that mean a red card for the ressies means a suspension at that level only. That's what happened with Worthy earlier in the season.

No, anyone sent off for violent conduct in the reserves will be suspended until the first team has played 3 games in officially sanctioned competitions:

 

8. PUNISHMENTS – Relating to Non-First Team Matches.

 

(f) PLAYERS SENT OFF UNDER LAW 12(1), (2) AND (3)

A player who is dismissed from the Field of Play for Violent Conduct, Serious Foul Play or spitting at an opponent or any other person whether he has previously been cautioned in the match or not, will be suspended automatically from all domestic League, League Cup, FA Challenge Cup, FA Challenge Trophy, Football League Trophy, Play-off matches and all Non First Team Matches, but not from any Match sanctioned or regarded by The Football Association as a Friendly Match, commencing on the 14th day following the match in DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURES 343 which he was sent off and until such time as his Club’s recognised First Team has completed three matches in approved Competitions during the period covered by its opening match in The FA Premier League, The Football League and The Football Conference (National) and ending with the final match in which the Club is playing in a domestic Competition organised by The Football Association, The FA Premier League. The Football League or The Football Conference (National).

 

From FA Handbook Season 2010-11

A player sent off for less serious offences, such as two yellows, denying goalscoring chance etc will only serve suspension in non-first team matches. But the FA is clamping down on violent conduct and serious fouls at all levels of football, hence the harsher punishment for offenders.

I don't think Gareth Bale will be shuddering at the prospect of losing his left-back berth for Wales.

 

Not a bad backup though, you never know he might impress Inter Milan, and he wouldn't be the first Latics to player to represent his country while in the reserves :wink:
