    Alderz: the numbers would include yellow cards. It would highlight the odd ones e.g. Mike Dean, and a ref who always books one player when other refs don't. And the Home Crowd refs. Percentages give a fairer picture than raw numbers. My gripe is that the FA does nothing about mistakes, when they should be correcting and improving.

    I get why you are saying percentages, but when you are looking at small numbers percentages are misleading still,

    I take your point, Alderz. Some refs have several hundred Premier matches under their belt though...I 'd be interested to know how many for each ref.

    While we're waiting for Alderz (only joking), let's not forget Dean also sent off Feghouli against Man Utd, only for that red to be rescinded.

    I did actually ask in a group chat whether anyone knows of a good dataset for discipline and referees, but no luck yet

    I don’t care about the stats. What’s the name of this group chat?

    It’s not exciting, it’s called Fantasy Draft, because some of my friends from work and I do a custom fantasy draft league each year. But I work in a data science team, so half the people in the chat are basically data scientists who love football

    This is a reply I got if you’re interested in ref stats

    I bet you will never see a referee more scared of a red card incident today.

    He'll relish the chance to get back into the old ways.

    That's right IH, reffing superbly like he ususually does.

    Back with a Red. Perfect day for Dean.

    I'm not watching, but by all accounts it was a stonewall sending off?

    I’m Watching it... 100% red card...
    Anyone watching has to agree IMO

    He does get some right.

    I tune into the BBC commentary and the first thing I read is "Mike Dean is going over to the monitor". Says it all, really 😂

    At least he was sent correctly to the monitor this time by top ref Michael Oliver, they are just lucky Lee Mason ( useless IMO ) not on VAR duties!
  • jay_in_cptjay_in_cpt
    Now VAR proving it’s perhaps just not worth it IMO... not sure what to think anyone 🤷‍♂️

    Have to say, fair play to Mike Dean. Can you imagine what must have been going through his mind as he was making his way over to the monitor..

    Yep, think that many who’s been in a similar position would have bottled it IMO.
    Hate or Love him, IMO he’s one of the best ..

    He was always going to give the red, he had too. He did miss the actual offence himself though!

    Getting a bit boring IH...

    Not quite sure if you're being serious.....

    IH is right, he did miss the original offence, and, after getting his last 2 red cards overturned he finally makes a correct call. I find it hard to believe anyone other than the out of touch muppets at the FA/PGMOL thinks he's a top ref.

    Buffy, I have no problem being called a muppet...
    Kermit will do 🐸
    Whether you like it or not... IMO he is one of the EPL’S top refs👌
