He he Liverpool easily could have had a couple more pens that weren’t given, so what does that say about a conspiracy? The reason the best teams get more pens is they are in the other teams box a lot more, that’s it, no conspiracies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Sweden the best teams in football and icehockey often get the refs in their favour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midred Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Ronaldo clearly leaning so far back last night that he fell over without any help. It's Ronaldo, give him a penalty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 A pen, or rather a play pen is where some of the Premier Leagues players should be locked into to display their childish behaviour. A penalty on the other hand is awarded for an offence committed against the laws of football within the 18 yard box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 The Man City one was a disgrace - no way was that handball in a million years and the VAR reasoning for not overturning it was even more of a disgrace ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waconda Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Much but obviously not all is down to Unconscious Bias - The underlying attitudes and stereotypes that people unconsciously attribute to another person or group of people that affect how they understand and engage with them. Many researchers suggest that unconscious bias occurs automatically as the brain makes quick judgments based on past experiences and background. in a nutshell favouring "big" teams.

SydneyCity Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I read an article a little while ago regarding All Black legend Richie McCaw. He was famous for getting away with things that others would be penalised for. The article interviews a referee who talks about Richie being great at knowing exactly how to talk to a ref and understand how far he could push their personal interpretation of the rules to get the decisions and outcomes he wanted. Interestingly, the ref being interviewed went on to explain that many top class referees do an in-depth analysis of teams and players before each game which leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy where the infringements awarded for and against are along the pre-conceived conclusions of the in-depth analysis that the ref performed prior to the game. I’m fully aware it’s a different sport but I’d expect there to be a lot of similarities with football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR is totally pointless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
