I just notice that Hanlon is now facing a ban after picking up his sixth booking; the Dons’ Arnason will also suffer the same fate.
Osbourne and Sproule are also one booking away from a ban.
Even though we have had no red cards (so far) this season, we are miles ahead on yellows with 50 so far, eight ahead of next highest Rangers and Hearts.
How many of these cards were deserved? We had Hanlon booked on Saturday for climbing yet a Saints player did the exact same two minutes later but got away it.
I don't mind players getting booked for 'real' fouls but hate to see silly ones like celebrating, time wasting and petulance, and what is worse for me is refs inconsistency.
