I heard Ricki was blackmailed into retiring because they had pictures of him with Bevan Cheung.

I have Lia down as having 31 yellows and a yellow/red combo for an average of 3.68 games per yellow. Time for me to double check my numbers.


PS That is regular season games only

If my numbers are right Manny has the same number of yellows and a yellow/red combo too. Manny was 3.68 per yellow.
Lia was 3.32 games per yellow.

Lia is second? the question needs to be asked can we afford to have both our DM's as regular card getters?

Yellow cards are a occupational hazard for DM's. Our DM/CB's are no worse than the rest of the league.

Manny - 121 gms - 36 yellows
Lia - 109 gms - 34 yellows
Dura - 129 gms - 29 yellows (Only included Nix games)
Siggy - 117 gms - 21 yellows

Burns - 95 gms - 38 yellows

That stat for Siggy might shatter a few illusions. Ohh thats right stats are of no use.

Can someone give me the official word on how being dropped affects someone's "designated scapegoat" status?

It's Caira's fault for not being good enough to add something to the first team.
