Jensen yellow card

[Imphistorian]

A total of 8 goalkeepers received yellow cards in League One games yesterday, yet none in League Two games (using the lineup details from the BBC website). Presumably the FL have decided that time wasting by goalkeepers is a problem in our division? Otherwise it seems an unusual statistic.

Jensen more than deserved a yellow card yesterday, took more time than necessary on more or less every goal kick. Next.

Agree, he can have no complaints, in fact I think the ref had even warned him just prior to the booking.

Of course there is the possibility of a betting coup.

What does a normal weekend look like? I feel like every game where there's a goal in it or one team is hanging on seems to end up with a keeper getting booked. There were only two games decided by more than a goal (Oxford 3-0 Burton & Shrewsbury 0-3 Portsmouth) where there weren't any bookings in either. The weekend before looks more like 50% of games decided by more than a goal.

Jensen so early in the game is unusual (Wycombe never seemed to get punished at all under GA!) You'd need to drill down further really. Started the process using Fotmob but got bored.
Charlton 24 immediately after conceding (protest?)
Bolton 45+5 after conceding corner (time wasting?)
Cambridge 83 after subs etc (time wasting?) V Blackpool 43 fouled leading to penalty

Port Vale 86 V Wigan 84 losing

Perhaps Jensen is gaining a reputation among referees for timewasting - that is his fourth yellow this season.

On more than one occasion the ref was urging him to play the ball and the Reading players were still running back towards their own goal. Its another area of the game where there is no consistency.
