Referee Stats - 2003/2004

Ref Foy is starting to soften up as so far this season he is average or below on whistling and card issuing.
Not that he has been as savage as some of his colleagues but in the last two seasons he was one of the busiest card issuers in the Premiership.
He is unusual in that he is one of just three or four Ref's who have not issued a red card this season. So far .....

Ref Foy does not exhibit any serious signs of being a Homer unlike Mr Winter who still thinks it is quite normal for 75% of his yellow cards to go to the away team.

Ref Foy's appearances in Fulham games have been few and far between and so far there have been no major errors to be held against him, as far as Fulham is concerned.
2003/2004
04-10-2003 Premier Fulham
2-0 Leicester
Bookings: Goma , Knight (Fulham) Impey (Leicester)
Ref Foy made numerous petty and hard to understand decisions during the game, a number were against Fulham in dangerous areas around the penalty area. Fortunately Leicester were so poor that they were not able to take advantage of Foy's generousity.
