Any chance UEFA changes the rule before the final and allows the myriad of players suspended from the final because of yellow card accumulation to play?

They better. I am hoping the 7 players that are suspended because of this rule sparks an early change to the rulebook.

Yep. No player accountability will lead to really shitty soccer.

It sucks that Alaba has to miss the final. I don't think he deserves that at all.

Then that goes double for Ivanovic and Ramires.

My question is, can they appeal AT ALL? like on Alaba's handball.. get them to retract it after watching it and realizing there was no intent?

I'm okay with the yellow card accumulated players playing, but Terry should still sit.

And I'm a Chelsea fan.

It is a terrible rule. Nothing wrong with a yellow card here or there. Most of those cards came out after the other player rolled around on the ground for a minute acting like they had a broken leg.

So your problem is with the refereeing, not the rule.

Both really. If the refs did a better job and were more consistent, the rule wouldn't be so bad. Still not a fan of it.

My problem is there is no reset. They are sitting for three cards accumulated over around 12 matches. That's stupid. I don't mind the accumulation rule, but there needs to be a reset. Terry has no argument.

Yeah but he's not in this conversation though. He got a red and he has to deal with it

Yeah except Alaba is better and cooler.


It would be cool if the yellow carded guys could play. It would be a much more entertaining final.

I don't think anyone wants to see van Buyten and Bosingwa playing center back
