       C BREAKSPEAR - Crawley v Swindon

       The card shark was at it again last night it seems. Three
       straight reds, two injury time equalisers including a 99th
       minute penalty. Oh and 36 fouls in the game.
       The frequency and amount of reds being dished out by Breakspear
       is extraordinarily high compared to other officials, even
       Kettle!

       And this is why I despair at some postings. You clearly haven’t
       watched any of the footage so come on with an assumption that
       it’s the referee that is responsible.
       Watch it

       and
       then actual judge the incidents!

       I don't think TTFL was saying they weren't justified - certainly
       from the clip, the reds and penalties seemed to be pretty clear
       cut although we haven't of course seen all of the 36 fouls.
       It just seems a bit odd to some of us how some referees seem to
       consistently have a high card count whilst others do not.

       Indeed I’ve not seen the footage hence why I’ve not heralded an
       opinion on them, I was merely stating facts. However my opinion
       on how high Breakspear’s card count is IS an opinion based on
       the fact of how many cards are being brandished. How many other
       officials have this high a card count in recent times?

       I have just watched the clip and conclude that each of the red
       cards shown was thoroughly justified and that Breakspear would
       have been been in dereliction of his duty in not showing them.
       It is quite true that certain referees tend to always head the
       table in number of cards issued. From years ago a referee called
       Parker from Preston had a similar distinction. Why this should
       be is open to speculation. Perhaps certain referees have lower
       acceptance thresholds of what merits a caution or sending off or
       perhaps they are particularly mindful of not bottling decisions.

       ....... of course it's always possible that some incidents
       resulting in red cards, justifiable in themselves, could have
       come about as the result of poor refereeing earlier in the
       match.

       I despair at people who post without thinking things through and
       reply to what they think someone has said rather than what they
       did say.
