| Fouls & yellow cards 09:22 - Feb 18 with 699 views | heavyweight |
Following on from Kieran's comments about yellow cards I had a look at some stats for fouls & yellow cards.
Ipswich are towards the top of the most punished per fouls - with a yellow card every 4.5 fouls, with Leicester & Southampton similarly placed. Chelsea are surprisingly top (3.9 - but they should start every match with a yellow card simply for allowing Cucurella on the pitch). Also surprisingly are Wolves who are bottom of this table (6.1). So it is difficult to conclude there is much bias overall from those stats.
However when you look at the bookings the opposition have had in games against Town - they get away with 7.5 fouls per yellow card & furthermore when Town play away the home side have committed 8.2 fouls per yellow card and at Portman road 7.1 Which certainly does indicate some home team bias.
Caveat. Of course all fouls are not equal. Yellow cards can be issued for things other than fouls. etc.etc [Post edited 18 Feb 13:49]

Yeah I noticed on Saturday we got 5 yellows for 9 fouls. 1 was for Hutchinson time wasting I believe,, but 4 yellows for 9 fouls does seem a high percentage. Villa did 7 fouls, no yellow card........!
As you say, all fouls are different, and you get yellows for other stuff other than fouls, but its a good enough gauge. | | | |
