Is there?

That says if X fouls are committed by a player then a booking is given? 

I've always just thought the rule was for "persistent fouling" which is stupid. If they stick an actual number on it then there's no grey area then.

Well, you're right, there is no actually value given to it.

The rules state "persistent offences (no specific number or pattern of offences constitutes “persistent”)"

From my referees training course it was taken that this was 3 in a short time-frame, or a slightly higher frequency if there were spread out.

However, fully agree that this gives the Prem refs the ambiguity to wriggle out of it for the top clubs that they favour.

I actually think any tactical foul should just be considered blatant cheating and be given a sin bin...alongside diving and dissent.
