They say these decisions even themselves up over the course of the season, so hopefully we are due a few to go our way.
Statistically it is approaching certainty that things don't even themselves over the course of the season. There simply aren't enough games played.
Say each team gets 10 dodgy match affecting decisions over the course of a season, and it's 50:50 whether they go for or against you, then it is extremely unlikely that all clubs will get 5 go for them and 5 against. Some might, but others might easily be 6 and 4, 7 and 3 or worse.
Say there are 2 fairly even teams, one who gets 7:3 in their Fabian's another who gets 7:3 against, that could be a swing of 16 points, if the decisions converted wins into draws or draws into wins. That could easily be the difference between relegation or otherwise.
Another illegal winner for us last night..swings and roundabouts i say
Using our season in the premier league is clutching at straws. We finished bottom because we were shit, not because of dodgy decidions.
Yes, I agree.
Your OP is spot on - football fans are always biased when judging a referee's performance. You rarely get people saying "The ref should have booked our player, and he barely gave the opposition anything"
Are there crap refs, yes. Are they out to get your club? Unlikely.
The fact is teams at the top end of a table will fare better in bad decisions because they, invariably, attack more during the games. Some teams at the top may even see more of the ball in most games they play, but that's not always the case.
