Why would you look at black cards offences for league only?? Do kerry not come out on top if you include championship?

In the interests of a level playing field the league is an ideal mechanism to use as all teams would have played the same number of games. Once you factor in the championship you skew the figures.

Tyrone is a shining light when compared to the cynicism rife within the country. We should hold seminars in Garvaghey sharing our wholesome brand of football ;)

You could just calculate it as a rate - X black cards/game since 2014

Lies, damn Lies and Statistics!

Black cards dished out prove nothing. Nothing other than you have players that are susceptible to getting black cards. Every team worth their salt are cynical. The Great Kerry team of the 70/80's were cynical.

To measure League games make the statistics more laughable.

What does the bit in bold mean - have Tyrone picked up 7 in 2017? Or seven in 4 years

QuoteNo other regular Division 1 team comes close to Kerry for cumulative black cards. Mayo and Donegal are both on 16 over the four-year period while, in terms of 2017, Tyrone's six is next highest.

Good to see stats backing up what old Gaels knew since the 1920s.

I'd guess it's referring to the fact that Tyrone are just back in D1 this year although I'm not sure why that's relevant
