Don't the number of yellows get reset at a certain point in the season or something?
He isn't on a suspension.On Billy though he doesn't look at all happy with anything Rovers at the moment does he? Seems to have lost the relationship with the fans after recent weeks, has spent quite a few games arguing with his own team-mates etc.Some around me have noticed it tonight, bit of a worrying trend.
....he is LUCKY not to be suspended for that challengeHe may be frustrated and this we can see - he does not have to prove it to us as he did after the third went in at Wolves - and as he did last night and will be no good to us sat in the StandsThe ball was not in the same half he was that late and I thought RED for sure and was surprised to only see a yellow
But Billy didn't have to retaliate in the way that he did. I too was surprised that it was only a yellow, you only had to see the state of Fosters leg when he was walking back to the dug outs to see that Billy had a right good kick at him!
A rumour doing the rounds tonight that Billy is on his way out. Like I said, a rumour.

Walking back in front of the SS smiling all the way(although keeping his head down trying to hide it) and looking at the cut my 11 year olds had worse grazed knees and not stopped playingMind you it was a fairly hefty challenge

I was thinking that myself and I was sat next to a referee who watched the whole incident and thought it was worth a yellow. He is usually even-handed and categorically stated that although the Dingles players were pushing the ref into giving a 'red' ....it definitely in his opinion wasn't but he-ho Wolfie knows best.
I was at the man of the match presentation to John Oster and he basically said that he doesn't know why we are playing like we are but he says it needs to be sorted sooner rather than later.Billy then came up for an interview and uttered these words exactly \"We can forget about the play-offs, we aren't good enough and we can't be expected to score 3 every game just to win\".
