Dirty Derby

Its interesting that we at Derby County have never had any dirty players

Plenty who have been 'fully committed', 'played to the limit of the law', 'left nothing on the pitch' and ' could look after themselves', but none who you could describe as dirty.

Every other team we have played, however, seem to have been like magnets for dirty players. At the lop of the list, of course, is Forest, closely followed by Leeds, Leicester, Man U, Sheffield United, Chelsea, Millwall, Stoke, Birmingham. Its almost as if they have special 'dirtiness' recruitment policies.

I'm pretty sure even on this laughable stat Stoke were ahead on the story saw. Although if you weight reds and yellows differently you might get a different answer. And we're non bookable fouls taken into account, let alone the falacy that football started in 1992.....OK, I only started following football at all in the late 90s but I get wound up by the phrase "in premier league history" as much as everyone else.

Round cards lol..who's idea was that?

 

Round red card, rectangular yellow one - this was so that the referee did not pull the wrong one out by accident - and there is such a thing as monochromacy (total colourblindness) too, but it's hghly unlikely that a footballer or a referee is likely to suffer from that because it's extremely rare - there might be a 50% chance of one person in a packed iPro suffering from monochromacy.

Just looking over 'that' season... Boro picked up most yellow cards... We only picked up a single red... So we can't have been the 'dirtiest' that season... 

In which case are we saying that Jim Smith's team of Wanchope, Baino, Eranio and co are the dirtiest side in Prem history?

They suffer from most other types of blindness then - just not colour.
