2023 season ref stats

Here we go with the end of season round up posts and as usual, I’m starting with the refs. Perhaps the most interesting thing about these stats are the totals at the bottom in comparison with the previous two years. You can clearly see that we have steadily got worse when it comes to getting points from games and have been getting more and more cards per games too. When it comes to individual refs, the ‘best’ refs for us, (ignoring those who only had one of our games), were Koya, Mikuriya and Nakamura, (who was the ref of the year according to the J League, an award which I predicted somewhat amazingly). When you add in yellow and red cards for these three, it’s Koya and Mikuriya who come out on top. Yes, Mikuriya, who has a reputation for being absolutely terrible! Our refereeing enemies in 2023 were Iida and Okabe. Iida has really pissed me off recently actually, so I’m relieved to see that the fact that we got no points from his games backs this up somewhat. Three yellows and one red in the two games he was in charge of mean that Iida is only beaten by two refs when it comes to dishing out cards to us. The first of those refs was the absolutely awful Imamura, (the guy who screamed at Kozuka), and the other one was the ever ‘popular’ Nishimura who gave us three red cards this year in just four games, (almost half of all the reds we got). In conclusion, Merry Christmas and a happy new year to Koya, Mikuriya and Nakamura. And to Iida and Okabe, well, hope you get a 'how to referee' book and some glasses for Christmas. Player stats coming next.
