Title: 0% Villa - ref hands out 36 red cards
Post by: Louzie0 on March 05, 2011, 01:17:28 PM

hope this is in the right place.

Wondered if anybody else had seen this -putting discipline problems on the pitch into perspective?
 I found it on 'www.caughtoffside.com March 3 2011'

sorry do not know how to post an actual link yet - but every day in every way....

ThanksGuy - really must develop my IT skillz!

I found a few more versions on google as the story spread, as well.

I think this reminds me of the 1970's in England.  Not every week but enough times to make it familiar.

If you were reffing it would've been 56 red cards!

I can't count that high, which is why I normally stop at the minimum required to abandon a match and my job is done. :p
