    Interesting that apparently we are the worst at respecting the referees, Pardews hardly said a bad word about officials and our players make the same complaints as any other team would. It's Barton's influence if you ask me, he swears and the refs notice it, if Saint Gerrard does, it's glossed over.

    We're bottom because we have a team of players who actually care, and work very hard for the shirt, thus throw themselves into challenges will a desire to win the ball. (Nolan etc.)

    Apparently, England is behind NORWAY in the fairplay league:

    Weird how Tioté has made 64 fouls and has 10 yellows, yet Nolan has made less than 40 (out of top 20) and has the same number of cards. Also how can Davies make 96 fouls and not be in the top 20 for yellow cards? Surely persistent fouling should carry a yellow? Although over 32 games that's only 3 a game I guess...

    It's easy to say but this is surely the facts to back up the conspiracy theory against us

    The sad thing this season is that the England has won 1 of the Euro Fair Play places this season, so looks like Fulham will be in Europe next season

    I mentioned this the other day. We're the most fouled team in the league yet we're bottom of the fair play. How the **** does that work?

    It's because referees refuse to send ****s like De Jong, Fellaini and Henry off against. But our players get booked for the slightest infringement. The worst one was against Sunderland when Barton went up for a header with Darren Bent. The ball rolled off Bent's shoulder and onto Barton's bicep and the ref booked him for hand ball. IN A ****ING DERBY!!!

    Perch has played his part but the main reason we're where we are in the fair play league is because we have the hardest midfield in the PL.

    Nolan in particular - he's built like an oak tree.

    The referee's are cheats, they have their favorites, Fulham are top of that, yet when Fulham played at Newcastle Danny Murphy committed 6 fouls before getting booked, yet our lads get booked for a minor foul, when its their first foul how is that consistency. We didn't even get a free kick when Sidwell elbowed Ameobi in the face on purpose. Bet the referee got a pat on the back the next day, same as every time they book Tiote, Nolan and Barton.
