spudski Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 I've never thought crowds would have that much effect on results. But when you look at results around the world this season, they are definitely all over the place. Teams that would be pretty much gaurenteed wins are no longer happening. Screwed up many an accumulator. Bookie's must be thriving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 We can see how much of an influence crowds are on referees, away players avoiding more bookings with no over the top reactions from fans for average challenges etc, also leads to more fouls/penalties being awarded with crowds (for fouls, not the stupid hand ball rule).

TonyTonyTony Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 It seems like teams have forgotten how to defend as well. All over the shop, including the PL. No idea why that would be though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why that would be though Yeah the amount of goals scored early on in the season was ridiculous. I think attacking players perhaps more likely to take a risk knowing they won’t be groaned at if it doesn’t come off etc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a good point - never thought about that. Might explain why COD is playing alright as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact iirc the Championship has actually seen average goals per match drop dramatically this season. In England at least it was only the Prem that saw a big jump there.

I actually thought the other way, that teams could be more likely to sit in a shape and defend, happier to try and settle without the crowd there to encourage them on to attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 I went a number of years where although I never made a fortune, I also never had to put money in my betting account. At the end of the season I had always made a profit. I can’t remember the last time I won a bet in 2020, I’m having to top up every month. The sooner I’m back in the ground influencing games the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
