Card Watch, 2008/09

[GazLCFC]

The BBC, Soccernet, and Soccerbase sites say it's nine cards, the only place I've found that says it's ten is the official site, here: http://www.lcfc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10274~1591007,00.html but that site is only showing it as eight in the stats section.

Stringer also said it was ten on RL so it must be true.

:icon_rollObviously.

The Stats on the OS are all over the place anyhoo, I had a look through and on some match reports it says we had 1 booking, then when you scroll down to the bottom of the report and we've got none. Then on another according to the stats we had three, scroll down and four of em got booked.

You appear to have omitted the 'tongue-in-cheek' smiley from the end of your post.

You mean this one :icon_wink

That's the badger!!:icon_bigg

I didn't - but it will do.

 

[beaumontfox]

So who is right then? Has he got 10 bookings or not, and if he has, what was the other match he got booked in that whoever does the stats on the OS hasn't done properly?

I'm making enquiries of the appropriate people. I still think 9 is the correct figure.

I am told by the Club that Steve Howard was booked in the FA Cup replay at Crystal Palace. I can't see any report of this anywhere.

The FA's site appears to back up Boc's claims of only 9 cards. They have 2 lists available on their site. The first is a suspensions list, and the second is players awaiting a suspension.

None of these suggest Steve Howard has been suspended or is pending a suspension.

I believe the relevant people at the club have been informed.

It's quite worrying that fans are having to correct the club on issues such as these :icon_conf

He's on there now!

The 'pending suspensions list' has been updated for the second time today and now includes Steve Howard. It does seem very odd that his yellow card at Crystal Palace was not reported anywhere.

Does anybody who went to the match remember the incident?

 

[beaumontfox]

No. I remember Tunchev getting injured though, and remember us starting to play with about 5 mins to go...........


I didn't see Howard down as booked on the Palace replay Match Report on the OS either, and I went through all of them(though more of a skim through tbh)


I wonder if I go and look now it'll be suddenly there?:icon_roll

 

[beaumontfox]

FFS!

According to the Stats at the top of the report we had TWO yellow cards, scroll down to the bottom and we have:

Yellow: Chambers, Gradel, Howard.

Now I'm not great at maths but even I can see that's three players not two:icon_roll

I honestly don't believe that was there yesterday.

 

[beaumontfox]

On the BBC FA Cup results page it doesn't have Howard down as booked.(yet ahem)

Crystal Palace2-1
(HT 1-0) LeicesterIfill 38
Scannell 55
Gradel 90+4
Bookings:
Chambers 81
Gradel 88

It wasn't there when I checked yesterday.

Google's cache of the page (dated 10th March), is also not showing the Howard booking.

 

[Nottingham Fox]

Andrew Neville supplied me with an FA case number with regards to the yellow card. I can only presume it was an off the field incident

 

[beaumontfox]

So if the Club knew he had been booked, why wasn't it on the match report before today? Or indeed on the FA site before today?


Tis a conspiracy!:icon_lol:
