According to the stats on the FA site only 2 penalties have been scored in the UCL Div. 1 this season, 1 by Eynesbury and 1 by Sileby.
Does this mean that UCL players are terrible penalty takers, or are referees very reluctant to award spot kicks at this level?
Also worth noting that we have received by far the fewest yellow cards this season, just 11 in the League. Harrowby have received 6 red cards!

Re: Penalties
I did say "according to the F.A. site", which is obviously incomplete in it's information. ( I didn't go to the Harrowby game so it wasn't in my memory bank).bozzer wrote:what about Alfies at Harrowby?
I've seen most of our games this season and I don't remember any other penalties either scored or missed by either side.

Re: Penalties
It was mentioned on the UCL Facebook page a few months back about our yellow cards (or lack of them) by one of the Whitworths coaching staff. At the time I think they'd accumulated about 4/5x as many, although having seen them this season that comes as no surprise.rushdenman wrote:According to the stats on the FA site only 2 penalties have been scored in the UCL Div. 1 this season, 1 by Eynesbury and 1 by Sileby.
