It's got nothing to do with my opinion of Deegan; I'm pointing out that what he's done has warranted bookings, regardless of what year it is!!
I will admit he's playing well, but he's going to end up with a one game ban very soon, which could end up costing his place.
Also how long before one of those bookings leads to a red - only takes a mistimed tackle or a opposition player to make a meal of a tackle and we're down to 10.
Personally I think these bookings can be easily avoided by Deegan himself and the problem is now refs will always be watching him
But then again we've won our last three games with Deegan coming in. If he's hit with a ban then never mind, he's earned it by winning the midfield battle and bringing home 3 points each week. We have cover for him (although not a like for like replacement) and he can come back from his ban with a clean sheet to start battling again and helping us win more games.
I don't really get why his 'discipline' is up for discussion. Timlin is also on three bookings (over more games than Deegan). Neither player strikes me as 'dirty' - just having to put in a lot of tackles and battles to win possession, so it's inevitable you'll get booked from time to time.
