Judging by the number of fouls given against us compared to the amount given for us you'd have to say we are. Yet it never feels that way when watching the game. |  |

no…only in the eyes of that totally inept excuse for a ref… |  | | |

I think you can only begin to look at that question if there is a vast improvement in the standard and competency of the refereeing.
It's more like we are suffering for being a "big club" with large home crowds and a sizeable and vocal away following and the part-time officials don't want to be accused of being inexperienced and easily swayed by the crowd so they go the other way and overcompensate towards the opposition.
Some of the decisions that go against us are utterly perplexing.

no, we do have a habit of silly fouls though, don't think it's much different from other clubs personally, but it's something i've noticed. |  |

We're not allowed to do what other teams can against us. Has been the case for most of the season. |  |

Thin’ it depends where the fouls are committed. A lot of ours are in the attacking third. |  |

Seems as were an attacking team, we will likely have a lot more fouls against teams who are set up for counter attacking footie. Counter attacking systems often draw a higher number of fouls |  |

Nope. Other teams just have to fall over to get a foul. We have to be battered to even get noticed. | |

I've just seen todays stats on the BBC 13 fouls against us 5 for us, which does not seem like any sort of reflection of the relative approaches of the two teams. I reckon Stokie has it right, refs trying to prove that thy arent intimidated by big crowds. | |

We are no longer the soft touch that we have been at times. However, there is a distinct feeling that the same foul against us often results in play on for the opposition or a yellow card for us. I am sure the unfair ones are the ones that we remember most In reality it is the lack of consistency that is the worst thing.
Fortunately, we have been so much better than nearly all the sides we have played, that even with a few key decisions going against us we are still top of the pile. We need to remember that the same lack of consistency will be applied to other teams and just get on with our job whilst not worrying about those things beyond our control. |  |

Think the Chaplin/Aluko foul was a prime example
Chaplin bundled over by 2 players, no foul, aluko goes for ball, bundled over player... foul given in the space of about 6 seconds.
You then have the burgess push goes unpunished, yet little jackson jumps for the ball and a foul given against him. . | |
