Peter Bankes - AFCB vs FFC

Firstly congratulations to AFCB on a deserved win in the end,
which was due to a fantastic solo strike and their half-time
change of tactics that FFC were unable to match, coupled with
Fulham's failure to put the match to bed in the first half where
they were totally dominant.
Now my moans! I thought Bankes started well but then he's missed
clear yellow cards for Rothwell (?) and Lerma who have both
cleaned out Palhinha from behind in the first half. Similar
bog-standard yellow cards were all correctly issued to Fulham
players with the exception of Tom Cairney was twice penalised
for excellent challenges, the first then led to Bournemouth's
second goal and the second time a yellow card was incorrectly
awarded for a brilliant tackle.
There is definitely a feeling amongst Fulham fans that we
receive yellow cards disproportionately more than they are
awarded against us. All I want to see is consistency and Bankes
definitely wasn't consistent in his foul detection or issuing of
cards yesterday.

Is there a club in the country whose fans believe they receive
yellow cards disproportionately less often that the teams they
are playing against? I have yet to come across one!

I very much agree that Lerma was lucky to escape without a
yellow card in the first half. It could be argued he'd have
ended up with a red as he did finally get booked 2nd half, but
he'd probably not have committed the foul he got booked for if
he was already on a yellow.
Otherwise Bankes was inconsistent, his foul detection is very
random and at times it was difficult to work out what was or
wasn't a foul, however he was as equally poor and inconsistent
for both teams. Not the best day at the office, it has to be
said.
