Bookings
Pearson is very close to a ban. (He's on 8 or 9 bookings atm).
Pearson is always close to a ban, AN needs to put some masking tape over his mouth to reduce them by 50%
Pearson and Seb Larsson are both on 9 bookings going into today.
The amnesty for 10 bookings is 'either' 37 league games or 2nd sunday in March (and that which one depends on whether you got a 5 game booking before Jan 1 or not).

So if he gets another booking is it a one match ban....and then does he go back to zero?
No it will be a 2.. (Wolves & Villa if he gets it next week @ Brentford...
The bookings dont revert they continue and its a 3 match ban if he gets 15 yellows by the end of the season.
As for general discipline PNE have the 2nd worst record in the league - behind Leeds who have had 6 reds - but we have the most yellows.......which isnt a great record to have.
DJ is also close to a ban........so was Hugill.

It isnt, youre right, the problem is its very much a part of how we play the game and it does give us that edge.
Not easy, I know as a supporter, but weve got to somehow learn that getting in the refs face is not going to change his mind. Those are the frustrating yellows.
According to TheFA discipline site neither are on 9 bookings so could be 8 I guess..

Hand all your yellow cards in on that date.
It's not a great record - it pictures us a dirty team which I believe we are far from it. I might see a few mis timed tackles, but hardly see any of the challenges that Cardiff put in against Man City the other week. They have 19 less yellows than us which surprises me as Warnock loves getting his players to play dirty.

It's ironic really, because one of the cleanest, most gentlemanly players ever to grace the game was actually called Trevor Booking. Despite his name, I don't think Trevor ever received even a yellow during his West Ham career.
Brooking.
but he did end up in the occasional brook after a good night out, I believe.
Cardiff are dirty but they have more experience in there team so probably know how to get away with things, where the boundaries are etc etc.
Some of our bookings this season have just been part of the naivety which having such a young team brings.
So, Pearson got his 10th yellow and a two match ban, as is well covered in other threads.
If he gets 5 more (which seems more than likely to me) he'll get a 3 match ban.
We cannot afford to have him missing for 5 matches between now and the end of the season.....

Well he's Injured, so the Ban is at the right time.

It's 6 a season minimum. For such a key player, and one who is likely to miss a few through injury anyway, it's not good he's missing around 10+ games a season.
I'm pretty sure he was warned about his future conduct last year when he was called to see the FA. He'll be called again at the end of this, I suspect he'll be giving an even bigger fine, but wouldn't be surprised to see them give him a further ban.
I might be in the minority but I don't think the booking on Saturday was even needed (and for a manager who has previously said he's had a word about cutting the needless ones out I'm surprised to hear Neil say it was), unless he was injured and thought he'd miss a few games anyway. The foul was in their half, Gallagher was also there and we had plenty back in our own half.
Johnson is one booking away. Hunts two bookings away. Fisher three bookings away. Not unrealistic that all three of them could pick up two game ban between now and the amnesty.
Whilst it would of been nice to have Pearson available for Brentford and Wolves, his recurring hip injury might be something that's gonna keep him out a while anyway.
As for bookings in general the team needs to cut the needless ones out. Snidely kicking the ball away or referee backchat etc. We don't help ourselves a lot of the time.
