We make the play offs are Ben Pearson’s bookings wiped?
If........
I wondered the same because it would be a bit unfair to carry them over to three extra games.
Even if they are I can't see him going the last three games without getting a booking. Worst case scenario is he get's booked against Burton and misses all three play off games (likely 2 games even, without him in the side).
Obviously the best case scenario is him staying clean and being available for all 3 games but I don't think they are wiped for the POs, and he'd likely miss the final because of his hot head in big games. (especially true if it's against Cardiff due to the nature of our respective playing styles.)
I think the best realistic outcome would be a card on Saturday, missing just the home leg which we'd stand a good chance of wining without him imo and have him back for the away and the final.

Haven’t we lost a player before in the play offs because of bookings? He was on loan. Midfield player

he can miss any/all play off games. 15th yellow will trigger 3 match ban including playoffs.
There is no world cup style rule in playoffs tho, ie a yellow in both legs would not miss the final. The only way to miss is accruing 15 yellows. Or a red of course. Or a player accruing 5 yellows post the 10 yellow amnesty reset.

You would think they would at least reduce the 14 to 4 to give the 10 game amnesty that would then give at least partial fairness. I know they won’t though.

isnt fisher also close to 15, would likely miss a play off game or two
Bloody hell, we could pay the ultimate price for refereeing inconsistencies. It just shows what a fine line it could be between earning and losing millions in this game. Frightening.
Pretty sure he's on 12, so he'd have to have a good go to get up to 15.
If you knew how I had spent most of today you would see it as good Karma ?

Went to my old fellas to clear some stuff out of his shed. Took the car round the back for ease of loading....spent two hours trying to dig the car out as it got stuck in the mud. Not how I anticipated today being spent.

The rules were changed this season so it's slightly different and the bits which have been published online don't specifically mention the play-offs.
Pearson - 14 bookings - 1 more booking and he misses 3 games
Fisher - 12 bookings - 3 more bookings and he misses 3 games
Huntington - 9 bookings - 1 more booking and he misses 2 games
Johnson - 8 bookings - 2 more bookings and he misses 2 games
Gallagher - 8 bookings - 2 more bookings and he misses 2 games
There was a cut off point, think it was after 19 games, that if a player didn't have 5 a more bookings by that point then they wouldn't serve a 2 match ban when they got to 10 - like Pearson and Fisher did. If that's the case, Hunts, DJ and Gally may not serve a suspension if they get to 10. However, I think Hunts missed the Ipswich away game in November so that was before the cut off point.
Got a feeling that the number of bookings will simply roll over and if Pearson is at great risk of missing part or all of the play-offs. However, I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

I'll take it .... hope it was a blue car though ....
