the midfielder has revealed he no longer carries the mask in his shorts in order to avoid receiving yellow cards.
Jonas Gutierrez: "I gave the last one to a fan, because I get yellow cards so I think it is no good to spend yellow cards because of a celebration so now I don't have it.
"Maybe I'll use it at the end of the season when the yellow cards don't count. But we have ten games to go and I don't want to miss any games."
On the subject of yellow cards ... when is a game officially over?
As we saw against the Mackems at St James' Park, they had a player sent off as the players left the field to walk down the tunnel, a good 90 seconds after the final whistle.
There were FIVE players sent off after the game at Crawley this month.
Yet a player gets a yellow card for taking off his shirt - and that is in the FA rules - but after the final whistle players are allowed to swap shirts.
