281.0. "Sheff Utd Top of the League (or Bottom?)" by YUPPY::PATEMAN (Our Nige is Their Nige Now - Thank the Lord) Mon Jan 11 1993 08:45

    In an attempt to sort out Messrs Panes and McCabe I give you the Fair
    Play League. The Mail puts sending offs automatically to the top, here
    bookings are worth one point, offs 2 points, League only which seems
    fairer, with sending offs as tie-breakers. 
                                            
    It would be different if cups were in as Looneypool have had three 
    red cards already!
    
    Anyway, before Saturday's matches:
    
    Sheff Utd		35pts	2 off
    Southampton		35	1
    Wimbledon		30	2
    Man City		27	1
    Arsenal		26
    Blackburn		25	2
    Spurs		22	1
    Leeds		21
    Palace		20	2
    Chelsea		20
    Sheff Weds		19
    Ipswich		18	1
    Man Utd		18
    M'boro		17
    Oldham		17
    Coventry		16
    Liverpool		16
    QPR			16
    Everton		13	2
    Villa		10
    Forest		 9
    Norwich		 8
    
    
    Palace & Everton each got another booking on Saturday, and Weds and
    Norwich got none. Palace put the figures in their programme so I'll
    update it after home games.

	RE .0 I think the Mail has it right, sendings off first, then bookings. Its like all leagues, wins are better than draws, gold medal better than silver etc. A sending off is far more serious than the 2 bookings you've defined.
281.3	Many ARE for two bookings	YUPPY::PATEMAN	Our Nige is Their Nige Now - Thank the Lord	`Mon Jan 11 1993 13:22`	8
	So Everton, with 9 bookings and 2 offs (1 highly dubious for a handball by the 'keeper) are a worse team than the Arse with 26 bookings? That doesn't stack up. With many offs for 2 bookable offences (Palace had one with Lee Sinnott) it seems highly questionable to plave them as paramount in this sort of example. Maybe you could up the offs to three points, but that still doesn't change the order that much. Paul
281.4	Isn't Note 39 very quiet.....	PANIC::ANDERSON	The original Magpies	`Mon Jan 11 1993 14:09`	8
	Doesn't Julian Dicks beat the lot of them ? ...yes, alright, I know he plays in Division 1, but 3 dismissals in half a season takes some beating! Rob
281.5	Is Nottingham an anagram of bottom placed??	YUPPY::PANES	My other bus is a 68	`Mon Jan 11 1993 14:13`	6
	Rob, When is the Nottingham "Super League" forming? Stuart
281.6	Less than half the story...	YUPPY::PATEMAN	Our Nige is Their Nige Now - Thank the Lord	`Mon Jan 11 1993 14:16`	3
	And the hammers have 7 in total! Paul
281.7	Fair Play Update	YUPPY::PATEMAN	Scuba Dive in my Think Tank	`Thu Apr 22 1993 09:37`	32
