I've always thought a straight red meant a three game suspension.

[Ian_D]

I know they're not exactly always right, but the BBC echo's my thought...

[Ian_D]

Cheers,

My wife works in the Rose she will be working tomorrow night so expect a less friendly welcome ;-)

Three games for straight red / violent conduct, one game for handball/red.

[quote=Chatham Gary Another worry is our increasing injury list. Are we simply unlucky, or is it a fitness/training thing.

Chatting to an ex special forces friend last night, they would run on a sandy beach for up to an hour, 4 or 5 times a week, and he admitted that extra training gave him legs of steel. I have heard this type of thing was done by Brighton players on Brighton beach. Perhaps LD could get the lads down to Gravesend prom and jog on the beach there!!!

 

 

 

 

 

This wouldn't be a good idea as it is in the public eye, meaning the club may have to have permission to do this? Though I do recall reading that in the 1950's the manager filled some of the car park with sand and set up an obstacle course for the players to complete which may be more feesable.

[Gordon T]

when Ferguson took over at the mighty aberdeen, he made them run on the beach, perfectly fine, nothing wring with it! And along with great fitness and tactical ability (also a number of stars) went to gothenburg and won the cup winners cup in 83

[BustaGut]

It amazes me that we talk about tatics, correct poisition,amount of injuries we have, After watching the Fleet for years now, I can confirm we only use one side of the pitch, the side the manager is standing, we never pull wide,stretch defences apart, we just leave a massive piece of grass for the opposition to bang the ball into, and attack us,On saturday time after time after time we tried to pump the ball down our left hand flank and into a crowded area, even when we won the ball off a opposing defender on our right side, we kicked it left without even looking, giving it away time after time,for them to clear it easily.

Our keeper is inclinded to kick from the right hand side of his area but to Daish in his dug out ,no matter what direction we are kicking, the whole team moves over to that side, leaving us vunerable down the other flank again.Tyan seems to be a very good keeper from what I have seen, but even there fans on sat could see he could only kick it one way, and a lot of the times that was out of play.

I would like to see Nade play in the centre of midfield, taking control and passing the ball down both flanks,to our forwards.We need a leader in midfield in my opnion.

Whinge over

 

Will be all forgotten if we win Tuesday.

Only use one side of the pitch? Down our left? Where the manager stands?

 

Miss the first half then?

[Hempstead Gaz]

They don't just play down the left - just on the opposite side to where I stand!

Surely they can play for Ebbsfleet United, then?.......FA showing their ignorance again?

[eufckev]

I always thought a 3 match ban came into place 7 days after the card had been given out, and not within those 7 days. I thought that was the case before.

[David Holden]

Suspensions for red cards start immediately, suspension for accumulation of yellow cards start 7 days after the trigger yellow card.

 

It's been this way for the last two seasons prior to this one.

[eufckev]

Thanks Dave.

[Ebbsfleet Fan Jamie]

according to bbc teletext mccarthy is suspended for 3 games and also james smith is out for 6 weeks

[Alan W (GNFC)]

As has already been said, its just the 1 game suspension for Macca as his sending off was for handball and not serious foul play. Its the BBC being as accurate as ever!
