Thornliebanktrueblue 667 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It annoys me that Morelos gets booked for repeated petty fouls when he’s getting scythed down all over the place. Refs book him for the 4 th foul not counting that 5-6 diff players have had a go at him. My impression is he has more fouls committed on him than by him. More bookings against him than against his opponents that foul him. Hes the most fouled player I remember since Cooper. Also I like a player that will look after himself. Our older fans will remember wee Bud Johnston. I think if any of us are geeky enough to have these stats it’s good to have them out there to change the narrative.

Maybe suggest a stats tab for the official club web page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone do a lot of intelligent good work for me, so I can offer up some lazy half arsed assessment of it please? magic8ball, McEwan's Lager and AlCapone 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. Raises a decent point though. No idea how or where he’d get these stats from. eejay the dj 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His main point - surely pretty much every striker in the land suffers more fouls than he commits. That's exactly what I would expect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornliebanktrueblue 667 Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 What I was asking was if anyone had these stats. I think Morelos gets fouled more and gets booked more than the average striker. But maybe it’s just my bias. I’m not going to watch every game and count this. I just wondered if these stats were available. We’re all on the same side remember Gman36 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomatasauce 1,253 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 It’s Morelos but...the only way your getting a red for a foul on Morelos is if he’s getting 1 aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The apathy and the asswipes within our support would kill that stone dead .

The Blue 413 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Am too lazy to look through the thread to see if anyone has any stats on this, can someone DM them to me or even come round mine and read them out Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
