Just baffling to me that we have so many bookings. I look around at our players and apart from Jay, I don’t see loads of snarling overly aggressive footballers fouling all and sundry.
Must all be niggly, trashy petulant rubbish we end up getting bookings for or just the general incompetence of a number of refs in L2.

I agree, I think most of our players have been booked for niggly tackles that referees have seen as yellows due to reaction by opposition. Liam Kelly is the smallest guy on the pitch,, and seems a quiet stable character, but he has been booked 7 times! Early season, we had few silly bookings for kicking the ball away, or dissent but seen less of these recently.

Agreed, I find it baffling too. And don’t get me started on lack of consistency! On Saturday, Gladwin questioned one of the ref’s decisions and the yellow card came out straight away. Same happened when Kelly reacted to the fact that Mansfield were given a throw despite the ball clearly coming off their bloke. However, later on, Aden Flint was mouthing off at the ref and jabbing his fingers etc yet no hint of a caution for that. A bit of consistency isn’t much to ask, is it?
The FA only have Jay Williams down for a 1 game suspension?
Looking at that site, I noticed that the Accrington player who was sent off against us (for a penalty-conceding DOGSO) appealed against his punishment. The appeal was dismissed. I'm surprised he appealed because although it was more untidy than blatant, there's no way any error could be regarded as obvious. It wasn't a genuine attempt at a tackle either (which would have reduced the punishment to a yellow.)
cant remember who, but one of our big strong forwards (yes we have had a few!) got himself sent off in time added on just before the Christmas fixtures and presumably had Christmas off - not suggesting it was planned but you can see the benefits!
Just as an aside. I can never find 5he info regarding suspensions.

I have exactly the same problem Jim. I’ve tried different browsers, laptop, ipad, phone, going via a link and going separately through the FA website and just get a blank page every time.

I have clicked on the link on an i pad and it shows a 1 match ban for Jay, and a 1 match touchline ban for Lewis Young !!!
