Mario Balotelli also has the lowest fouls per card ratio in the Premier League, receiving a card once every 4 fouls.

 

[SWP's back]

Glad we have toughened up.

 

[Dzeko's Right Boot]

That's because most of Balotelli's cards are for dissent, not foul play.

 

[Carver]

Still bottom of official premier league disciplinary table, red and yellows combined, select from drop down box- should say league in the box when it comes up.

Top of clean sheets table, 13 this season so far. Heard this morning it's the best by an English keeper for quite a while. Well done Joe.

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

That's because most of Balotelli's cards are for dissent, not foul play.

That's because Balotelli's cards are issued because his names is Balotelli and the rags should have at least 3 more red cards and no doubt 200 yellows that the refs have conveniently overlooked.

 

[Jackson-ctid]

Not necessarily a bad thing, people should know we're a rough team and that we don't fuck about.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

But they are only fouls which the ref has recognised. How many did we not get on Saturday and how many fictitious fouls did he award to the PieEaters? These stats about fouls, yellers and reds are a nonsense. The Rags have been credited with Rooney's blatant red last week v. The PieEaters, and Carragher only got a yeller Saturday and not the red he should have got, and what about that little Italian Shite plays for United - he should get booked twice in each half. He's allus kickin' off or kickin' out!

 

[Rammy Blue]

All this shows is how biased the refs are against us, we very rarely make a bad challenge and are certainly not a dirty side.

times have changed when we looked at the fair play league to get us in Europe :)

Being dirty and giving away fouls aren't the same thing: I think it's about right, we're always giving away little fouls here and there. The crowd moans sometimes but in reality most of these are fouls. We give too many dangerous fouls away in dangerous areas. We could easily have had another red card for Richards' foul on Saturday as well, that was a very rash tackle!
