Just now, three players for Newcastle United are about to spend Christmas Day with their families. Football supporters frequently question whether players intentionally receive warnings or are dismissed from the game before December 25.
This weekend marks the annual culmination of a long-standing conspiracy as clubs all throughout England play their last match before Christmas. Football is traditionally consumed in large quantities throughout the holiday season, with Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day fixtures all on the menu.
A reservation in the next round of fixtures would ensure that those with four yellow cards could spend Christmas with their families. With three players, Newcastle has the second-most of any team. They are only one poor or shrewd choice away from missing their Boxing Day match at St. James’ Park against Nottingham Forest.
Joelinton, Sean Longstaff, and Jamaal Lascelles are the three people that are presently walking the tightrope; however, Joelinton is hurt, having strained his hamstring. The two other clubs with three players on four yellow cards are Aston Villa and Sheffield United.
After the 19th game, which for Newcastle is their trip to Liverpool on New Year’s Day, Premier League players are granted a break. There is even more motivation to make a reservation before the Christmas season begins because any warnings that are detected prior to this time are erased completely.
Anyone found guilty of deliberately getting booked could see themselves face disciplinary action from the top flight and the FA. Although this rule is in place, that has not stopped the scepticism from fans continuing each year.
