Isn't there a cut off point for bookings soon, meaning the count gets wiped and avoid suspensions. Or something like that?
I'm sure in seasons gone by it has happened. Is it end of March?

There's an amnesty for five-booking bans at the end of Feb.
But no amnesty for accumulations of ten bookings until near the end of April.
So both Fuller and Whelan will definitely be missing 2 games in the run-in unless they suddenly turn into Saints and escape a yellow for over 2 months.

Cheers FullerMagic.
Perhaps they should pick which game to get booked in to coincide when we won't need them most...

fuller was probably frustrated last night, he was marked out the game by powell and davies for long periods and never really got going. he has every right to bollock shawcross and co for the second goal and for the aimless long balls they kept hoofing up field when under pressure for him to chase. he is better running at people with the ball, not chasing long balls.
still, it was a great game and if players have that much passion and a will to win it can only be positive.

But I can't find a run of 2 games coming up where I'd fancy going in without Fuller. Anyway, if you told him to get booked, he'd probably head-butt someone in the balls and get sent off, rather than go for a cheeky kicking the ball away routine We could certainly do with him playing at Norwich and Watford. Maybe we could do with him timing it so he could miss the Blackpool and Wednesday games at the end of March. But I think the chances are remote, and he'll probably end up missing at least one REAL biggie before then IPSWICH qpr BURNLEY norwich watford BLACKPOOL sheff wed PALACE cov

Just maybe Fuller is still feeling a little down as he has just returned from Jamaica and was penalised for being a day late. It was the 1st time he returned to Jamica since his gran died so maybe like i said a little low? No excuse for throwing his toys out of the pram but we all do silly things when a close loved one passes away.

So Whelan, Fuller and Shawcross will all be missing for 2 games shorlty then? Maybe not Shawcross but he's on 7/8 isn't he?

Fuller was kicked non stop by Southampton to provoke him. No surprise he blew up - that was the plan

Looks like Shawcross is on 7 - so he might escape - if he's on his best behaviour.

What will Pulis say though?
It'll be the same as the last time Fuller's tantrums got him booked - "Well, that's what you get with Ric. You just have to put up with it".
WHAT!!!
No, you have to manage it and tell him he's letting the team down and letting the fans down who pay good money to see him play, not sit in the stands because he's suspended - yet again!
I think Fuller's possibly the best forward in this division, but he's also petty, spiteful and downright nasty at times. As for the last minute incident, the referee could have justifiably chosen to sent Fuller off much earlier so the incident wouldn't have happened at all!
Just for the idiots who only see a word or phrase in a whole article, he wasn't alone with the potential for a red card. There were several culprits on both sides who could have merited an early bath.
My point is that he is a long, long way from innocence and it's fairly easy to "separate" him from a fracas. He seems to talk a good fight.
