Suspension Threat Won't Worry Tate
Alan Tate goes into the weekend action knowing that a yellow card could keep him out of the Cardiff match
The Swansea City vice captain has got four yellow cards to his name and knows that one more booking this weekend at Scunthorpe and he will be forced to sit out the game at the Liberty against Cardiff City on November 7.
But he insists that the thought of that will not be on his mind and he looks to help his team mates secure another three points on the road at Glanford Park.
Speaking to the Evening Post, Tate said "Of course it's on your mind when you are on four bookings, but it will just be one of those things if it happens
"It's something I've been thinking about with the Cardiff game and the Newcastle game coming up, but if it does happen it's just unlucky.
"I won't go into Scunthorpe thinking about it.
"I won't be shying away from tackles or anything like that, you know that's not me.
"It's a tough place to go," Tate added.
"We've drawn a couple of times up there, but we lost on my debut and I also got sent off there once.
"They are having a good season and the crowd get right on top of you if they are going well."

wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.

Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
