Regime Change 0 Posted December 24, 2006 Is anybody else amazed by the number of booking we seem to be picking up this season (another 4 yesterday)Are we a dirty team or can we just not tackle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,503 Posted December 24, 2006 Yesterday, imo and the commentators, 2 were definately not yellow cards. But its true, quite often we have to resort to fouling to prevent us from conceding (Robinson yesterday) which is worrying that it happens regularly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Regime Change 0 Posted December 24, 2006 My concern is that with such a small squad, at some point, all of the suspensions will come back and bite us in the arse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you attempt to play the ball and miss it''s a yellow card now a days.IMO the yellow card is issued far to easily in the modern game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Regime Change 0 Posted December 26, 2006 I agree that there are too many bookings and yellow cards given in the current game. On Saturday we had double the number of players booked as Wolves, and, consistently this season we seem to finish games with more players booked than the opposition.

[/quote]This board just gets more and more ridiculous everyday. People will make up anything to try show the club in a poor light. Norwich players have been booked on 40 occasions this season compared to : scum 62, WBA 61, Leeds 61, Derby 51, Birmingham 50, Leicester 47, Hull 45, QPR 45, Coventry 45, Plymouth 43, and Stoke 41.In our 24 league matches this season we have only had more cards than the opposition on 7 occasions!
