i looked at all the bbc match stats for the season a few weeks ago, and overall in our games we average less fouls and less yellows than our opponents. If i can remember correctly we averaged about 2 yellows a game, our opponents 2.5. cant remember the fouls. And i think our cards to foul ratio was higher than our opponents, suggesting we were more cynical. Its bizarre how we are so far ahead of other teams in terms of yellow cards and yet in the vast majority of our games, it is the opponents who get booked more!

sigh....in the world and history of football, uraguay and argentina have been at the forefront of unprofessional yellow and red cards.....for evidence, watch some world cups.

that maybe so, but it doesn;t mean that Gus and Taricco are like that (may have spelt Taricco's name wrong)
check the national fair play league table and see were we are......re-watch some of sparrow's, barnes', and greer's antics.
we are not a big tackling dirty team, but very petulant.

I just had a quick count up:
On 13 occasions we were booked more than the opposition
On 25 occasions the opposition were booked more than us
On 8 occasions we were booked an equal amount
There are a couple of ones we could put either way depending on how to count a red.
So in conclusion we are clearly not a dirty team.

Awesome dose of stereotyping.

There were more yellow cards given out in the earlier part of the season for dissent rather than blatant or cynical fouls.
i agree totally, but international football is like that - germans organised, english resolute, mexico play like it is alaways 50 degrees, etc etc...

Is it? Or is it just guesswork based on your facile prejudices?
You're not doing very well on this thread, are you?
