FA on red cards

[Mad Dog]

I emailed the FA last week about the rules in general and they got back to me:

Thank you for contacting The Football Association.

A new ruling was introduced at the start of last season whereby if a player gets a red card in a friendly he gets a ban for his next friendly, not for competitive matches. If it is overseas, it is dependent on it being reported to us by the host FA.

In general terms, we retain the right to charge players in the most serious of misconduct cases and make sanctions applicable to competitive first-team fixtures if it is felt necessary.

I hope you didn't warn the FA that it was us, and you told them you were a plopies fan or something :lol: :lol:

I didn't mention which club I was a fan of, for obvious reasons. ;)

Tbf to the FA, I asked them in a constructive way and they got back to fairly quickly, given the amount of traffic they probably deal with. Compare this to the Conference, who will now be getting a second email from me. :roll:
