Refereeing bias
Just picked up on an interesting stat from the TC podcast.
There were 29 fouls in the Man City v Arsenal game yesterday with 2 yellow cards handed out, which were both for time wasting.
Staggering levels of bias in favour of big clubs and the willingness not to 'ruin games'.

Re: Refereeing bias
As clear as day and it has been more obvious than ever this season
With us they are looking for anything to disallow a goal, any way they can possibly penalise us...with the big boys its the exact opposite.

Re: Refereeing bias
There's definitely a bias when it comes to yellow cards. And I say this, we'll aware that I, too, am biased. But I often look at the end of games, where we will have 2 or 3 more yellows than the opposition, thinking we've been kicked all over the park, and have been the victim of countless cynical fouls. The yellow card count rarely seems to reflect the nature of the game
Re: Refereeing bias
We've picked up a lot of silly yellows this season though. And Man City style cynical fouls don't work as well when you constantly give the ball away.Roosterbooster wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2024 7:57 pmThere's definitely a bias when it comes to yellow cards.

It does feel we're hard done to at times though, watching Gallagher's string of cynical fouls with no bookings was fairly dubious.
Given the amount of stats knocking around I'm surprised there's not been a look into whether yellow cards correlate with the stuff you'd expect them too (I'm coining xY now).

Re: Refereeing bias
But rather than coming across with excellent game management, Taylor just came across as inept.Poulton-le-Claret wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2024 1:52 pmJust picked up on an interesting stat from the TC podcast.

It just didn't work for me.

Re: Refereeing bias
Yep it ruins a game for me. The constant fouling means so many attacking opportunities are lost, no wonder it ended 0-0.dougcollins wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2024 8:07 pmBut rather than coming across with excellent game management, Taylor just came across as inept.

Re: Refereeing bias
I was screaming at the TV everytime there was a cynical foul in the City - Arsenal game - "if that was a Burnley player it would be an automatic yellow" - time and again. It's true though!

Re: Refereeing bias
Liverpool v BHA in comparison to the City Arsenal game
26 fouls, 8 yellow cards, 5 for Liverpool.
I think there's some bias but mostly the standard of refs is poor, and the whole organisation is arrogant and grossly incompetent.
Don't forget it took a season for PL refs to go and look at a monitor

Re: Refereeing bias
Var bias too. They only show what proves their point, while clear, opposite evidence is being shown on TV.
