Well, tug accident and tyre incident surely aren't a type specific problem. Of course a Fokker is never as reliable as an Airbus or a Boeing, but you cannot compare those, you have to compare them with regional aircraft and other 100-seater, like the Embraers, Bombardiers, MDs aso.
I agree that we have some issues on the gear. Our dispatch reliabilty is sometimes higher than those from the Airbusses from the mainline (same MRO).
