The rule concerning yellow card suspensions for players has sparked discussion and suggestions among fans. Specifically, if a player accumulates 10 bookings in their first 32 games, they will receive a two-match suspension. This rule was brought to attention on social media, leading to fans advising a player, Guimaraes, to deliberately receive a second booking if he already has one yellow card, preferably late in the game. Some fans proposed tactics such as waiting until the final minutes and intentionally fouling to receive two yellow cards if the player is booked.
There is an ongoing debate about whether this loophole should be addressed since the player in question is at eight yellow cards and cannot reach the threshold for an automatic suspension.
