j1mgg 3,766 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I saw these a week or so back and i think the person that collated them could only find stats for the relevant time periods. If they are true or not is another story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Manticore* 1,893 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Cards only came in during the 1960s, so those stats look bogus to me.There were still cautions and sendings off before there were cards though.I would have said cards came in in 1970, not sure though.

*Manticore* 1,893 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Just had a look, here's what wiki says:'The idea of using language-neutral coloured cards to communicate a referee's intentions originated with British football referee Ken Aston.[1] Aston had been appointed to the FIFA Referees' Committee and was responsible for all referees at the 1966 FIFA World Cup. In the quarter finals, England met Argentina at Wembley Stadium. After the match, newspaper reports stated that referee Rudolf Kreitlein had cautioned both Bobby and Jack Charlton. The referee had not made his decision clear during the game, and England manager Alf Ramsey approached FIFA for post-match clarification. This incident started Aston thinking about ways to make a referee's decisions clearer to both players and spectators. Aston realised that a colour coding scheme based on the same principle as used on traffic lights (yellow - caution, red - stop) would traverse language barriers and clarify whether a player had been cautioned or expelled.[1] As a result, yellow cards to indicate a caution and red cards to indicate an expulsion were used for the first time in the 1970 FIFA World Cup in Mexico. The use of penalty cards has since been adopted and expanded by several sporting codes, with each sport adapting the idea to its specific set of rules or laws.'Off topic I know, but hey....

Can anybody confirm these stats'?Cheers.These stats have been on a number of different Rangers websites. Ewan Cameron also read them out on the RR phone-in last week. I think it was someone like Bob Crampsey (or similar) who compiled them in an article. The equvalent stats for the last 8/9 years follow the same trend (i.e Celtic get a lot of descisions in their favour).This doesn't fit in with the Celtic paranoia theory, which is why you only find Rangers fans posting these stats.
