owlmanc Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I'm sure when we have had decisions go our way we have said ah well that makes up for that other time. Things happen. You just got a make sure as a team we are doing our best and hopefully things go our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlofOliveGrove Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Video referees and a 2 appeal limit per team per game. Sorts the whole issue out and adds very little time to the game itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol_Owl Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 There was an identical situation at 0-0 with Roofe (I think) wrongly getting flagged as offside the difference being Wildsmith made a great save/block but if he'd have score it would have incorrectly got chalked off. That said and I'm certain it's not deliberate but I do think physiologically official are influence by certain factors such as "bigger" team against smaller team, "honest" players (e.g. Lineker never getting a booking in his whole career) against perceived "deceivers" (FF getting sent off at Hull),etc. which means it'll never truly even itself up and the likes of Man U / Liverpool will always have more of the rub of the green against teams like Stoke for example.

toppOwl Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The Hooper "goal" at Birmingham was particularly annoying as if it had rightly stood, he'd be going into the Bolton game with a chance of scoring in eight consecutive games, which would be (I believe) an SWFC record.

mark77 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Seen a few posts mentioning Burton away. Yes the player should have been sent off but it's hard to see how the result would have been affected so early in the game. As for Boyd's goal it could have put us 2-0 up (and a likely win) but there wasn't a conclusive angle. My gut opinion was it should have stood but I chose to leave it. Some interesting discussion. What frutrates me is the penalties that are awarded over any particular weekend (some of them very soft) and I always think "we never get those!" Our penalty count over a number of seasons now has been very low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincs Owl Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I'm sure the teams we've narrowly beaten like Fulham and Brentford will point to some moment when we were lucky. If you throw a coin up 1,000 times I'm pretty sure it would come up heads 500 times +/- 20 either way. Sure someone in the betting industry will have the formula. We have been unlucky this season but folk forget our REAL luck. Playing Man Utd in 1991 Lge CF about 3 days before they faced Barca in a CWC Final. We were just a warm-up game to them. Getting promo in 1991 under Atkinson when we only finished 3rd in Lge 2. Any other season we would have just been in play-offs. Blades losing top scorer Ched Evans just when they were on verge of promotion- leaving us to scrape past them. And he wasn't even guilty. That dodgy penalty against Hartlepool at Cardiff. My unbiased mate reckons it was never a pen. We were 2-1 down with about 12 minutes to go and not looking like scoring. That's four huge decisions in our favour. Any more? No-one remembers our good luck.... just the bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Man U had already won the first leg, away, 3-1, so playing us wasn't that much of a problem for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure someone in the betting industry will have the formula. Hmm, I'm no bookie but I will do my best for you. Its all about the Bell Curve innit. Standard deviation for 1000 coin tosses (2 possible outcomes) would be 1/2 x Square Root of 1000=16 (sigma). Using Bell Curve, 68% of the time, the results would fall within the standard deviation so approximately two-thirds of the time, the result would be between 484 and 516. 95% of the time, variation would be within 2 sigma (32) so 19 times out of 20, you would get somewhere between 468 and 532 heads. To your original question the probability of getting 500 heads +/-20 is around 78%. 20 is 1.25 sigma (16x1.25=20) and the Bell Curve shows probability of getting within a 1.25 sigma range to be 78% or thereabouts. Should be clear as mud now. Edited October 3, 2017 by londonowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl In Black Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Is the logic skewed here.... because how do we know what the other clubs have had happen in their games and how many points they feel they have lost. I think thats what they mean by evens itself out... its not just for and against but similar incidents happen to the other teams too. So we might be somewhere between 3rd and 7th but Burton albion might think they should be top of the league and we should be 20th because of all the other perceived injustices.

No-one remembers our good luck.... just the bad. Rumbelows cup- so we only won that game due to Man U being tired? Barmy. Btw Carlton was banned for that game because he had a drink of water in a game previously. Did they change the rules mid-way through the season about finishing 3rd/ playoffs? Pointless Evans - his choice to do what he did Hartlepool - Can see why it was given, we've had much dodgier pens given against us and had stonewall pens not given for us, could've easily had a couple of pens this season, which we haven't. 4 huge decisions you mentioned counting over 26 yrs, Wow, even those are dubious..

PopePiusX Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The League Cup final was April 21 and the CWC Final was May 15. It was three days prior to the semi-final second leg, although they were already 3-1 up from the away leg against the might of Legia Warsaw.

Do decisions by officials even themselves out over a season? I'm gonna bookmark this over the season and keep track to see where we end up come May. Happy for peoples opinions on decisions. It's difficult to predict how the outcome of games would have ended up if decisions had gone another way but i'll try and keep it consistent both ways. So far... Preston (a) - Penalty given when Lees clearly played the ball from the side. Potentially 1 point lost. QPR (H) - Blatant handball on the line which would have been penalty and red card. Potentially 2 points lost. Cardiff away was potentially an offside equaliser but no definitive angle so will ignore that. Birmingham (a) - Clear legal goal ruled out at 0-0. Every possibility that we can go on and win the game, 1-1 possibly. 1-3 points lost. Leeds at home clear legal goal ruled out but didn't affect the result. Cannot think of any decisions that have led us to gain points this season, happy to alter that opinion if I've forgot something obvious. Currently 4-6 points lost due to officials decisions. Should be sat somewhere between 7th and 3rd with one defeat out of 11 games... Ok so clearly a point lost today thanks to the referee (which ultimately might cost Carlos his job). 5-7 points lost now. We should be on 21-23 points and sat in the top 6 with just one defeat... It's interesting to see that if decisions had gone the way they should have done we would only be on one loss (granted it would be Sheff Utd) and the league position would look alot more healthier. Carlos said as much in his post match press conference. Regardless of your opinion on whether you want him to stay or not he has a point...

So 2 more points likely dropped after both penalty claims turned down. It's clear both should have been given. 7-9 points lost now. Still no points gained through poor refereeing decisions. We would likely be on 31-33 points with VAR (used in the Bundesliga/Serie A) and sat in 4th... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffsteel Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 There is a general pattern that the more a team attacks then the more penalties they get. If a team creates loads of chances and deserves to be leading then if there’s a 50/50 penalty then the ref will give it. If a team is struggling to create any chances then there’s a 50/50 penalty shout then refs tend not to give them. Another pattern is teams at the top tend to get more luck, that’s because the ball is bouncing around the opposition penalty area more. Where as you find that teams near the bottom tend to be unlucky more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
