I seem to remember David Beckham collecting five yellow cards a couple of seasons ago, but didn't get a ban as he had gone 5 games without a booking, which takes one of them off.

Bellamy has now gone five games without being booked. Does anyone know if this rule still exists?

I think it does, Paul. Or something to do with an amnesty at the end of February??

Anyone know the full story?

Talking of yellow cards, one thing about Robert is that he does learn his lesson - got a couple of bookings for yapping at the ref and stopped doing it, a booking for a dive and stopped doing it. Deserves some praise for that...

He deserves a lot more praise than the xenophobic tosser who sits behind me gives him.

Talking of tossers, there is this loud-mouthed tw*t behind us in the Gallowgate who keeps up his abuse of the team for 90 minutes. Drives me loopy. Separately, I was told to "shhh" when shouting "United" yesterday because the bloke in front was on his mobile to his wife and couldn't hear very well...

Aye there are a few of that sort around me. One old bloke (who I honestly wish wouldn't turn up) shouts for us to hoof it up the pitch from defence then gets really p*ssed off when Given rolls the ball out to Hughes and it's brought up the field gradually.

I don't understand how he can't appreciate good football.

When we scored the third against Leeds he said that we didn't deserve it because we'd played badly for the whole match. That is one bloke who I would quite gladly hit over the head with quite a large hammer, if only to shut him up for the rest of the season.

Saying that, he is completely preferable to the ginger nobhead a few rows in front who sits with his two fingers constantly up, shouting stupid c*nt, French faggot at Robert as well as calling every other NUFC player a "deformed spastic" at some point during the season.

We've got a nice "must win the second phase" man behind us, who had a pal who found endless fun at calling Distin on Saturday

We are all guilty of it sometimes, I was sitting in a different seat against bolton , and when back in my proper seat for sarfamton three people behind said to me Where were you? you allways scream and shout the keeper held the ball for more than 6 seconds. and you missed the one where he got penalised. Well as i was sitting in the front that game (near steph) ellary must have heard me. :-)
