Don’t look now, but Fulham are tied with Wolves for the most yellow cards in the league (37). We had 52 yellow cards all of last season, 46 in 2009-10, and 40 in 2008-09.
Brede Hangeland, Chris Baird, Danny Murphy, Moussa Dembele, and Steve Sidwell all have 4 yellow cards. Mark Schwarzer has one. Bryan Ruiz is the only player with double-digit appearances to not be booked.
Fulham are tied for 15th overall in soccernet‘s Fair Play table, but 10th in the league’s table.
wowzers. We’re not dirty but I guess just prepared to make the tactical fouls needed, which invariably bring yellows. Possibly also because the forwards haven’t defended as much so midfielders and defenders have had to do more of the above.
And no Europa Fair Play entry next year. Ah well….
