Yellow card fever leaves FAI facing fine from Uefa

The FAI are facing a fine from Uefa after five Ireland players incurred yellow cards in Sunday’s Euro 2016 draw against Poland.

Under the European governing body’s rulebook, an improper conduct charge can be triggered in the case where five or more players enter the referee’s book in a single match.

Not for the first time, Ireland were on the wrong end of some questionable Swedish officialdom at the Aviva Stadium.
