The foul play league

irritatingly you can't do a direct link, you have to go in, select "L2", but never mind, eh.

We're only mid-table!

Admittedly this doesn't award points for timewasting, ref surrounding or injury feigning, but still.

Congrats to Mansfield for bossing the table, and "must try harder" to Exeter as ever.

Runaway league champions what do we win?

*it's a "fowl". Do you see?

Not sure but dirty Mansfield are probably top of the whole 92 in this.

Can we make this the actual league table? Not only would we stay up but we still wouldn't have to play Mansfield next season.

Not quite - Level with Millwall, and just behind Blackburn on 424 - and Peterborough on a massive 502! You can always rely on Westley.

hang on a mo, that table has us joint with Exeter on 232 and lists two red cards which i'm sure were rescinded?

I think that's the reason we're level on 232. It confused me, before I realised we haven't actually had any bans through red cards this season.

Surprise, surprise.

What's this, the fifth year in a row for us now...?
Nice to see Brizzol at least made an attempt to compete with us this year though.

The feeling is mutual mate.

Liam Noble unfairly skews our position

I'll miss you really

Krystian Pearce, Nicky Hunt, Jamie McGuire, Matt Green and Chris Clements unfairly skews our position

All those red cards we've got and only one for violent conduct. Stupid twats, No wonder we've been pretty poor since mid Jan.

If you're going to get sent off, at least smack someone!

 

[StagsForLife]

It's quite laughable as I wouldn't call us an extremely dirty side, more a clumsy side that just don't learn from their mistakes oh and a side that sometimes forget they're playing football not Basketball... Green...

That's the annoying thing about this stuff and the FA. Even when a red card is rescinded, it's still recorded as it's been given during a game - ludicrous. Our last manager, Sir Terry of Brownshire, was always proud if we were near the top of the fair play league. He made a good point about less suspensions but the average Dons fan didn't/doesn't really give a monkeys, especially us older ones who were brought up on our, err, robust style of play ;-)

Which reminds me ... Wycombe fans - we* don't dislike your club or fans, we just don't have much time for your gaffer's Westleyesque tactics of players - especially when they're big, burly centre halves - collapsing on the turf clutching their heads as if they've been shot if one of our players even looks at them in a funny way. Style of play has nothing to do with it. Yes, there may be a few of ours who pine for pretty football but, on the whole, the only time we moan about playing a long ball, route-one style is when we adopt that tactic when there's no proper target-man to be effective.

* usually refrain from the rather arrogant use of "we" when attributing views to a whole fanbase but, in this case, it seems reasonable
