FA Cup - Yellow Cards

[Baboon]

I believe we avoided any Yellow Cards in the Liverpool and Shrewsbury games but picked up two (Moutinho and MGW) at Bristol and three (Coady, Boly and Neves) against Man Utd. The BBC commentator referred to a couple of Man Utd players who received YCs on Saturday and said they would be suspended for the semi if their club won the game as those players had now received two YCs in this season's FA Cup. Does anyone know the rule on this? Is the slate wiped clean after the semi so clubs can field their best players in the final? I'm a bit concerned that one or more of our players might collect their second yellow of the competition against Watford and be ruled out should we reach the final.

I worried about this too but on looking at the FA site the rule about 2 yellows leading to a ban stops after the quarter final. Therefore as I interpret it no-one is banned for the semis and no-one will be for the final either ( unless getting a red). Hooray!!

They are only counted until the quarter finals. We’re ok - only a red in the semi will see someone miss the final.
