Pawel_lfc Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Why are there so many booking in the first few minutes of a match for the first foul by a player committed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirki88 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Because it's in the first minutes the referee sets the level for the rest of the match. I can imagine him wanting to show "this is where the line is, you cross it like this and I'll shove the cheese up your face!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawel_lfc Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Ah yes, just like they do in real matches... ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekman Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Never mind bookings. I think there is an excessive amount of straight red cards. Does anyone else agree with this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, there's alot of direct red cards, but then I'm playing Colombian Second League, so it's expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkkne Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Never mind bookings. I think there is an excessive amount of straight red cards. Does anyone else agree with this. I've noticed a lot, especially when the other team always seems to get a stern warning I've had a player sent off within 14 minutes for 2 yellow cards Do the referee's still have the lenient/strict rating, I haven't looked?

trekman Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I've noticed a lot, especially when the other team always seems to get a stern warningI've had a player sent off within 14 minutes for 2 yellow cards Do the referee's still have the lenient/strict rating, I haven't looked? When I got the game I started as Newcastle and I got at least one player (sometimes more) sent off on average every other game. I thought it was my tactics so I made sure that the tackling was set to easy but this didn't make any difference since I am still getting players sent of. I eventually got the sack which quite frankly didn't really surprise me too much since I hardly had a squad of players to field. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonDicko Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 "I'll shove the cheese up your face!" :Dlol, is that a swedish expression? the translation to english is great, I'll have to use that more often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I seem to get a lot of yellow cards/2nd yellows too. Have collected 75 yellow and 5 red in 36 games this season so far, and it was high last season too. (playing as liverpool) edit: somethings definitely wrong with this, I have the most bookings of anyone in the premier league (52) and Blackburn (of all teams) have the fewest (24). Now if thats not back to front, i dont know what is... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_bob Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I agree there are too many bookings in this FM, but I've noticed that the players with aggression stats >15 get booked more frequently than others, which seems fine. In Romania, we have 5-10 yellow cards almost every game and at least 5 red cards per week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorcoo Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 First friendly, and my Portimonense DC goes in with two feet in the 2nd minute. Immediate red and sent off. Talk about making a statement :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanukki Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 From statements made by SI reps on the forums, the frequency of cards, etc, is something they monitor quite closely and compare with real world statistics. What often seems from individual anecdotal experience to be too many/too few often turns out to be fairly close to real world frequencies over long-term tests.
