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.

They reset it before the quarter finals in pretty sure.

Nope. Just read an article that said UEFA decided to adopt the reset for the Euros but that they don't reset in UCL. The reset rule is a FIFA rule.

ETA: can't link from twitter but it's on sky sports. Here is an excerpt.
quote:

The players' union points out that UEFA will adopt FIFA's policy for Euro 2012 where existing yellow cards are waived after the quarter-finals.

Yeah. When you consider these guys are playing top level sides and can only pick up 3 yellows the entire tourney. That shite worked back in the day before refs were handing out cards for every semi hard tackle.
