Discipline

[Llamaman]

New regulations this season. Cards for managers & staff in the technical area, yellow & red. Like players suspensions after yellow mount up, 1 game for 4, 2 for 8 & a disciplinary charge for 12 & reds. It has changed for players too, cards will apply only to matches in the competition they were received in. FA Cup & Trophy matches 2 yellows = 1 game ban, for Darts league games 5 yellows by 30th November, 1 game ban, 10 by 10th March, 2 game ban, 15 by end of the season 3 game ban. Kent FA to deal with any County cup misdemeanours.
Well I have re-joined the forum after the demise of the original & taking a summer. In the spirit of al the changes at PP I have changed my member name, just to be a bit of a .
Best wishes & good luck all the players, staff & fans for the coming season.

It’s just for the National league. It doesn’t apply to the North/South divisions

That's a weird decision. Seen as the North and South divisions are still administered by the National League.

The National League tend to think of themselves as an extension of the Football League and a lot of the rule changes tend to drip down as far as them. I wonder how many red cards the delightful Steve Evans will gather this season?

Terminology did for me I took the National League as a whole, not just the top division. It is a bit confusing the whole competition is th titled The National League, as well as one of it's division. That ok for The Premier League with only one division, but is too much for this addled old brain to deal when there are multi divisions . I may go back into retirement or change my name again. So managers & staff in our division aren't affected, but I have checked the FA site & the number of cards & cut-off dates are correct for the Darts players. With separate cards for FAC & FAT a bit more leeway to stack up cards before missing games.
