    If you get 3 points you get a season-long ban. How long is the season? Winter football or summer football? If I got a "season-long" ban tomorrow, when could I post again?

    Good point. We define the season as running from August to May :)

    You need 3 red cards which is effectively 6 points. You only have one so you can relax as I'm hoping you are not planning on 5 more? ;)

    ps. I'll edit that now.

    It's a thread discussing the Soccer rules, actually in the soccer forum.

    Interesting question actually.

    Bias how? I'm in the US following MLS, kjacdl is an eircom soccer fan and PHB follows some unknown tiny english team. August to May is when the forum is the busiest and we run our "season" by the bandwidth.

    Cork dude.

    It works in your favour tbh.

    Get banned mid-season, and you be back before the season ends.

    Now sush and don't ruin it for us all.

    is it yellow card is 1 point and red card is 2 points?

    6 pts result in a season ban and 1 point is week ban?

    I cant find it anywhere!!

    It is in the charter for soccer, although we actually assume you can do simple arithmetic and didn't spell it out.

    2 yellow cards get you a red card.

    3 red cards get you a season long ban.

    The caveat is that a season long ban is at least 6 months long (so if you are banned on the last day of the season you still get a 6 month ban).

    The season actually runs August-August by the way :)

    Why can't points/cards/bans be appealed? Why do you get a straight yellow? Shouldn't the ref talk to you first and give you a warning about your conduct? Should the "black book" used in GAA be introduced to Soccer?

    :D Yes.

    I'd like to point out in my defence that I haven't once questioned your eyesight or mental competence.

    I still think you should get a warning before a booking. Where do I lodge my appeal?

    You were banned under the old rules, and therefore, it is stricken from the record.

    You should be on 0 points, like me. :)

    And, btw, your use of the "s" word was directed at a whole town.

    Should have read the charter shouldn't you. :p
