I had a similar problem at Valencia but couldnt fine or warn the players as the board said they would sack me!

Call their bluff.

Seriously, you have to fine them. If the board's going to sack you, then who cares? You're going to either lose football matches and get the sack or keep 11 men and have a chance of winning and get the sack. I'd take the latter option any day.

Yawn.

i doubt its a bug, just sounds like ur eltting them get away with it...fine them and put them in their place.

Yea im reading in my first. Ive had 10 red cards in 15 games!!! It ridiclous

This is completely spoiling the game.Im getting at least 1 man sent off every game.No matter how many warnings or fines i give a player, he will just get sent off again.Its always now for kicking out at other players.Through injuries and mostly suspensions i had to play 5 under 18 players in a premier league match.Its a joke.

Then why keep playing him? He's a liability. Relegate him to the reserves for a few games. The other problem is that you've already let the situation get out of hand so it's going to be very hard to drag them back into line.

Personally, I think it is unrealistic the amount of red cards you can get for violent conduct. However, to dismiss it as a bug and get angry with the game doesn't solve it. It's a computer game - deal with it. Use the tools at your disposal to get round it.

The most I've ever had for violent conduct was three games in a row. On each occasion I didn't appeal against the red, fined the players involved and (unless they were vitally needed i.e. I didn't have anyone else) they didn't play for me once their suspension was up until I needed to drop one of my other players. The problem disappeared.

I used to have this problem too, every five games or so I got in the commentary highlights majigy...

"Howson (for example) throws a punch"

&

HOWSON RED CARDED!

Saving grace is "He landed a perfect punch"

Dunno what ive done, though, because i havent had anyone landing haymakers lately.

Just Jonny Woodgate getting S'Oed for flailing elbows...

joshantmann

ive done everything you can.Ive dropped them to the reserves, fined them, everything.its not just one player, its all of them!!Even my goalkeeper has got sent off twice for kicking out at a striker!Not too realistic in my mind.

20 games played 10 yellow cards 4 red... i always get a red card when i'm 2-0 up in the 1st half

I've found that if you're on a bad run of games then player's start getting silly. As soon as someone get's sent off then fine em straight away. If you ignore the first then many will follow whatever you do. One rotten apple and all that...
