Fouls per yellow card.

[Calico Jack]

I have just been looking into foul and free kick numbers for the league.

How many fouls each team commits and how often it ends in a yellow card.

Some interesting numbers.

Now I know some would argue that it depends on how serious the fouls are, which is sheer deflection imo.

So here is what I came up with, guess who is being punished more and who is punished less.

St Mirren 4.79 fouls per yellow - 134 fouls and 28 yellow cards

Rangers 5.95 fouls per yellow- 131 fouls and 22 yellow cards

St Johnstone 6.00 fouls per yellow - 102 fouls and 17 yellow cards

Aberdeen 6.04 fouls per yellow - 151 fouls and 25 yellow cards

Dundee 6.43 fouls per yellow - 135 fouls and 21 yellow cards

Hamilton 6.63 fouls per yellow - 159 fouls and 24 yellow cards

Hearts 6.64 fouls per yellow - 166 fouls and 25 yellow cards

Motherwell 6.66 fouls per yellow - 153 fouls and 23 yellow cards

Livingston 7.00 fouls per yellow - 140 fouls and 20 yellow cards

Kilmarnock 7.57 fouls per yellow - 144 fouls and 19 yellow cards

Hibernian 8.18 fouls per yellow- 131 fouls and 16 yellow cards

Celtic 9.27 fouls per yellow- 102 fouls and 11 yellow cards​

Now again, this is how many fouls a team commits before a yellow card is shown.

I took the number from the official league site.

Celtic are not only being whistled less, but they are also being carded less

 

[Mondraker]

Awesome. Thanks for the research bud.

 

[tigershaw]

Very interesting!

 

[Mondraker]

Near enough double the fouls to us before a yellow.

Hibs benefit as well.

Wouldn't be anything to do with the fuss that was kicked up around the time the refs went on strike would it?

 

[Partickger]

Always good to get statistics to back up what we all know is going on.

It's funny, that was my thought also.

TLB was a catalyst in the build up to the strike, so are they looking after both TLB and the Mankies.

 

[cooperno.7]

 

[DotMantooth]

Thanks for posting this, findings are hardly a surprise.

Does Dissent count as a foul?

 

[coplandrearl36]

St Johnstone same No of fouls as yohoos but 6 more yellow cards, they are bad Saints.

 

[Mondraker]

It's funny, that was my thought also.

The brief time he was in England there wasn't the slightest hint of trouble.

He's back two minutes and suddenly Scotland is a sectarian cesspit again.

 

[Its-Sebo]

Only surprise is that there's a team above us

 

[Superrangers]

I have seen stats posted re other years previously and ‘remarkably’ the same trend continues. Normally it’s about every 11-14 fouls for them before a card. Clearly another referees strike cannot be too far away.

 

[Baz]

Wonder what the stats would be for opposition fouls i.e. how many fouls per yellow card when teams are playing against us

 

[Commentator]

is there anywhere we could see this by player, i.e number of fouls committed by player before they're booked? I'm convinced we have more players booked after their first foul than any other team.

Spot on, he was a nobody down south.

In Scotland he is a fruit fly, spoiling fking everything he touches.

Interesting question.

It would be a pretty large sample of data though, maybe it's out there though.

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

I too noticed a very unusual stat about the recent Filth v Spoonburners game...

Must be an all-time world record.

What?

That is not possible 'kin ell

 

[Ponientebear]

Nothing those of us not in denial about the cowards running and officiating our corrupt game didn’t really know already but thanks for posting just the same.

 

[Family bam]

No surprise.

Afraid, naturally so, of getting their windows done in.

Scum.

 

[Commentator]

Interesting question.

It would be a pretty large sample of data though, maybe it's out there though.

For example, Kent's booking last night incensed me.
Another one for me is when the ref takes the coward's option (ie the scottish refs go-to) and books both victim and perpetrator. See Beaton booking Tav after Stokes neck-throw.

 

[ChiefWahoo]

In September they drew 0-0 at St Mirren with Ntcham being sent off.
4 of their yellow cards came in that one game.
Afterwards, brenda effectively came out and called the referee a cheat saying he'd sent the player off because the crowd shouted for it and there was no contact.

In the 5 games since, they've had a total of 4 yellow cards.
We've had 12 in that same time period.

 

[Ponientebear]

I too noticed a very unusual stat about the recent Filth v Spoonburners game...

Must be an all-time world record.

That was the weekend where there was 9 bookings in our match, 5 bookings to us and 4 to our opponents despite us again being kicked up and down the park. Hearts v Aberdeen, again same weekend there was 10 booking. It’s so transparent.

Celtic are not only being whistled less, but they are also being carded less

What we all knew and suspected, confirmed. Quality research OP. This has been going on for years. And we all know why hivs are second in that table. It needs published to put some pressure on the refereeing fraternity

 

[CaptainObjective]

The stats are not all that surprising to me. We have a terrible habit of passing straight to the opposition in bad areas which leaves us having to make some rash decisions. In general, if you're arguing the refs are diabolical, I'm in agreement but anything other than that is paranoid nonsense.

 

[dennyperkins]

So, Celtic have 11 bookings and the average for the other 11 sides is 21.81....almost double!!

Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get us

I spoke to a Killie fan in work & we both came to this conclusion too.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Celtic then Hibs. Well i never

Corrupt, bigoted, both?

Truly biased towards poet

Well there was one word I agreed with in your post......nonsense.

 

[Frank de Boer 2018]

This was exactly the same as last year. Celtic and Hibs the bottom 2 clubs less punished. I wonder if the season before that and the one before was Celtic the least punished.

Where did you get the stats on this from mate?

[WBD]

Only 2 fouls. But 1 yellow card, so looks like he had no option to give the foul because it was so blatant it was also a yellow probably should have been red

 

[CaptainObjective]

The sample size is incredibly small, there's absolutely nothing surprising about those statistics.

 

[Cumbernauld gers]

Great work op and no real surprise.

There has been a clear agenda against us from the min we got back into the top flight.

No surprise dims, hibs and killie getting away with murder. Since clarke was appointed killie have been well protected.

 

[Calico Jack]

This was exactly the same as last year. Celtic and Hibs the bottom 2 clubs less punished. I wonder if the season before that and the one before was Celtic the least punished.

I think I might try to dig into the past three seasons, if they are available.

Stats are from the official league page.

What's small about it?

It is the form of the season so far.

How do you know the mentally challengeds don't "have a terrible habit of passing straight to the opposition in bad areas"?

 

[Ponientebear]

It has absolutely everything to do with fear, cowardice, corruption but you carry on telling others they’re paranoid.

Just been having a look at his posts, so much negativity in there.

 

[VaucluseBear]

See what happens is...

Opposition get away with 10fouls, then we have our first and mongo ref goes “aw ats 11 fouls better card him”.

Got a link mate?

Those statistics are over 10 games. The sample size is so small it's irrelevant.

Not sure what you're getting at, I can only comment on what I've seen from us this season. Our passing is dreadful at times and players often get caught on the ball in bad areas which leads to us committing fouls.

It has absolutely everything to do with fear, cowardice, corruption but you carry on telling others they’re paranoid.

Garbage. If they are so corrupt why on earth were we awarded two penalties in the space of 5 minutes when we were drawing 1-1 with 10 mins to go at Hamilton? If they were that corrupt why did he not just conveniently pretend he didn't see it? Come on, the paranoia is absolutely embarrassing. The referees in Scotland are absolutely appalling, there's just nothing more to it than that. If you watch the highlights from the other fixtures on a weekly basis you see some truly god awful decisions in most games.

I called Radio Clyde about this a number of years ago as Celtic at the time committed almost twice as many fouls as ALL other teams before their players got booked. Keevins and Delahunt couldn't explain this and just moved on to the next caller.

Perhaps someone could gather the stats for the last 10 years or so. Now that would be interesting.

 

[Angrybluebear]

I posted stats last year that indicated Celtic commited on average twice as many fouls as us before receiving a yellow card. I am pretty sure it was the same the season before. Think it was maybe stats from Sky Sports.

I don’t know how many yellow cards they have had for diving but have had umpteen penalties and free kicks awarded for it. Ryan Christie took a blatant dive against us to get a free kick and Goldson booked, he took another dive at the weekend to get a penalty that changed the course of their game. There was every bit as much contact on Sadiq at the weekend and he gets booked. Morelos previously got booked for an alledged dive that was over turned. I’m not suggesting the referees are racist but something isn’t right when one team’s players are treated differently.

 

[rossgers]

In terms of your opinions on watching our play, I think your sample size is so small as to be irrelevant.

 

[muttley]

He's back two minutes and suddenly Scotland is a sectarian cesspit again.

He was a victim down there as well. No, wait, he was threatening a woman with a knife ?

Kilmarnock last night had 3 fouls which were all blatant yellow cards in the opening 15 minutes

Not one got booked, all got a quiet word

Yet second half he was card happy with our players.

Inconsistency which our team seem to always be on the worst end of

The corruption I’m actually talking about comes from a certain compliance officer position, who take most of their decisions from the joke program that is Sportscene who pick and choose the narrative and what ends up on the cutting room floor, the fear and cowardice comes from a weak SFA and most of Scotland,s officials. Are you really that naive in thinking that referees giving us stonewall penalty should dispel the fact they still shyte a brick and avoid any controversy against the mentally challengeds and Lennon,s Hibs (as the OP,s stats clearly show).
The only people that are embarrassing are you and your ilk that walk about with your head up your backside.

 

[ChiefWahoo]

How do you know the mentally challengeds don't "have a terrible habit of passing straight to the opposition in bad areas"?

I'd be more interested to know where a 'good area' is to pass to the opposition?

Sorry I'm not buying it. McGregor has got away with a few incidents already this season. If they were so corrupt he would have been retrospectively banned. The stats are irrelevant over a 10 game sample size. Come back when you have a few seasons worth of data. This attitude just stems from not winning on the park. I remember the mentally challengeds complaining on a weekly basis about officials when Walter was winning trophy after trophy. It's defeatist paranoia nonsense.
