I think you actually mean that the Blues have been penalised by the referee 374 times whilst receiving only 354 decisions in our favour


This is actually quite a surprising stat considering how many people are questioning the lack of desire, the lack of a ball-winner etc.

Yes ..... Sure that's what I typed but I suppose it's how you read it.

Considering the for's and againsts are quite tight, I would agree with you about them being surprising.

Think of all those times our brave player was fouled by some dastardly opponent and the ref failed to give us the free-kick/penalty. They don't show up in those stats but it does each time our opponent dives and the referee falls for it and penalises our innocent player. It is therefore technically a measure of how often we are penalised/awarded a decision rather than how rarely we actually foul/ how often we are fouled

@OldBlueLady probably has strong opinions on this subject....

I am sure OBL has that opinion and I would agree. However the stats do not show a lot of things in reality and as you rightly said.
Don't shoot the messenger, I just provoked the discussion after I worked the stats out, I never made the stats and I am not accountable for the mistakes made by officials

I have strong opinions on a lot of things, namely that all refs are cockwombles!

Don’t sit on the fence OBL, tell us how you really feel!
