Either for Big clubs or Big Countries. How does one measure 'referee equanimity, or referee bias'. Call me paranoid but i am certain the bias does exist. ................ FiFa ? can you expect fair refereeing between, say, Brazil and Estonia ? Then we have Clattenburg doing a photo-opportunity with old Purple Nose at Wembley. statistical chance does suggest that smaller clubs should sometimes win silverware. Greece in the European cup, Leicester in the Prem. But it does seem to happen very rarely. The way statistical chance works is that 1000 well equipped Roman legionaries will Always beat 1000 naked Celts in a planned pitched battle. But one Celt against one Roman ....... could sometimes see the Eagle falling beneath the blue face of the Wode. Maybe just 20% of the time.

I'm getting tired of seeing threads recently taking pops at refs. Leave them alone lads. On the whole they do a very tricky job well. The interpretation of the laws may have moved on, but that's called progress. I've enjoyed watching games this season much more, thanks to the free flowing play with less whistle blowing and consequent interruptions. In the last few days, on different threads, I've made the same comment. I called it roundabouts and swings, some you win, some you lose. Any perceived bias is in the eyes of the beholder.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

It’s a really difficult balance, as there are a lot of sports where you can be pretty close to 100% accurate (cricket for example with all the stump tech). Personally I think you win some and you lose some. I’d prefer more challenges to be allowed, and give the benefit to the attacking team. I’d also prefer to see a challenge based system. In other sports it works really well and adds to the drama rather than constant TV reviews.

discuss Edited by PalazioVecchio (22 Sep 2021 12.55pm) We didn't a few years ago when they beat us 1-0 and Jeff stelling was on sky. He supports the pool and was quite excited if I remember correctly. I will say that the last away game of theirs every season is an event. A couple of years ago they all dressed as smurfs. Got national coverage I beleive.

I know sometimes it really seems like there is a big team bias but other than it being a huge (and impossible) network of conspiracy then I can't see a reason for it happening.

"Liverpool took Crystal Palace apart last weekend, but otherwise the Eagles have done OK so far under Patrick Vieira". Not just refs. Above is a quote from Mark Lawrenson who is predicting 1-1 V Brighton. Was he watching the same match as everyone else!!
I'm so Palace I don't even know it |
