Right, MOTD said it, football extra said it, and now the official site is saying it - Kevin Nolan is suspended for the Liverpool game after picking up his 5th yellow of the season against United.

Now, I don't disagree that Nicky Hunt has had 5, but I'm sure, after going through the BBC results ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...lts/default.stm ), that Nolan has only been booked 4 times in the league this season.

 

Despite carrying the above story, the official site also seems to count them up and come to four:

As does ESPN, useful for stats if nothing else:

Has anyone got a clue what's going on? I'd really rather Kevin didn't miss the Anfield trip.

According to the FA he now has 5 cautions along with Nicky Hunt, who got one for holding nto the ball for 3 seconds!

Can we not appeal - I mean c'mon he was hardly timewasting.

How he got booked for that and Patricia (note the girly name) Evra didnt get booked for GBH on Guthrie is beyond me.

 

Really dont fancy Cid or McCann at RB against the scousers.

bookings can't be appealed unless it's mistaken identity. Clattenberg was just being a soft lad

Well, I suppose that's it then.

 

Don't suppose anyone can remember the fifth?

 

United

Birmingham

Arsenal

Boro

 

????????

 

 

Just seems odd that every website I have checked has the wrong info.

 

Maybe they've chalked up one of them to that Ian Nolan chap we always hear about....

Could be one in the league cup? They count in all English competitions don't they?

He wouldn't have got booked if that f?ckin welsh sheep sh@ggin rent boy illigitemate tw@t Giggs hadn't screamed at the ref to book him, god I f?ckin hate Giggs

Yeah, the FA just talk about 'First Team Competitive Matches'.

 

And Diouf served a suspension for having 4 in the league, one in the cup.

 

I still make Nolan just the four in the league though, and he's not listed as having picked up one against Fulham or City.

I update this after every game, only down as four bookings, none in the cups

What's your source?

 

 

I don't know why, but as soon as he said it on MOTD it just didn't sound right. Maybe I am autistic after all....

 

 

Having said that, Nolan did seem to be very disappointed when he was booked, suggesting he thought he was due a suspension.

The official site says he's suspended, so does the FA:

Yeah, not having a go, but both of those are in the first 2 posts in this thread.

 

But nobody I've spoken to can work out why.

is it not because he's got 5 bookings?

You could be right, there.

I mean nobody else can come up with those 5 bookings.

 

As I say, even the information on the official site lists him as having 4.

What about Guthrie on Sunday, is he eligible to play? To have to make 3 changes would be a shame.

Ineligible.

just a quick question but do bookings in friendlies count? or maybe its carried over from last season as red cards are? like i said just a question i have no idea myself.

Hasn't Hunt just beaten Joey O'B back to full fitness?

 

If Joey is back for Sunday, Hunt's booking could leave him out of the team for sometime - a shame really seeing it was his best performance for years.

maybe its carried over from last season

Aye.

 

He was booked against the Hun, Middlesbrough, Arsenal and Birmingham this season, and against West Ham at the end of last season.

Surely everyone starts with a clean slate at the beginning of a new season?

why does I get the feeling this thread will go on for some time, maybe even long after his ban is complete

Surely everyone starts with a clean slate at the beginning of a new season?

Aye, players can do what they want in the last month of the season without fear of reproach.
