Re: RATE THE REF - Darren Bond v Brentford

Toney should have been booked in the first five for a cynical foul. He was filth for the remainder of the game. Fillthy challenges on O'Shea and he definitely set about Cullen twice. Think the last foul on Muric should have seen him walk. Their full back was an awful play actor. Stop, drop and roll ...

Re: RATE THE REF - David Coote v Bournemouth

I don't think any ref is thinking they won't send a Bournemouth player off because they have a favourable media narrative; it's purely because they are weak and wildly substandard in their ability.

There's no edit function.

It looks like the data for running is an end of season metric.

High turnover is about work rate in the opposition half. We look passive a lot and I'd point at this statistic partially to mean what I think of when talking about Amdouni, Tresor and Odobert.
