'Hi All,
I have had a number of questions around dismissals in possible Double Header Matches from Leagues as well as Clubs.
Please be advised; a player dismissed in the first match IS PERMITTED to play in the second match; as their suspension would not come into effect until 14 days later as per the FA Regulations. It is not a decision of the League or Match Officials to decide otherwise in any case.
I would urge you to inform Clubs and Match Officials of this if your League is proposing Double Header Matches in view of the weather. We hope that clarifying this will resolve any potential conflict if such was to happen.
Kind Regards'
Hmmmmm!
