Everton Badboys, 1998-99
|
With a £50,000 suspended fine hanging over
them, the woeful disciplinary record for Everton's First Team players is
now complete; see ToffeeWeb's Bad Boys Table. |

RED CARDS |
Over the season, Everton incurred only one full red card but pickled up another six for second bookable offenses. | ||
YELLOWS |
Hutchison's 12th yellow card brought Everton's total to an incredible 108 in all senior competitions this season. The FA will doubtless impose the £50,000 fine, suspended from last season, and throw in some more punishment for good measure. | ||

The method used here to calculate points in the table above works like this:
|
| The system is designed to reflect the relative impact to the club of each player's indiscretions. For example, although the various red-card offences carry different suspensions, the initial impact of all red cards is the same: the player misses the rest of the match. Then the suspension follows, and the player misses one or more complete matches. |
