Wellmthat seems to be a tendency with many referees, but l wouldn't call that corrupt. I'm sure no money changes hands.

A Chris Kavanagh man myself. We don't seem to have seen too much of him so far this season though.

Between him and Chris Kavanagh imo
He could give each team a red card.
He’s simply shit.
During every Kevin Friend match he’s a controversial talking point, often the centre of attention, I wonder if he quite likes that?
With Martin Atkinson, a career full of blunders costing clubs.

I'd include Lee Mason in that list too.

I would love to see European refs in the PL, they stamp down with authority early doors not scared to go make decisions against the top sides. There is a reason why none of our refs went to the World Cup.

This thread is exactly the reason I like VAR and believe it helps balance games back a bit more in our favour.
Poorest crop of refs I can remember, exacerbated by the fact that with VAR, you get 2 bellends for the price of one.

But hopefully the one off pitch at Stockley Park is our bellend - the one who ensures the decisions are correct, not biased. Remember the West Ham bellend was happy to chalk off Murray's goal till Stockley Park got involved.
Ex ref Peter Walton and Bath Uni assessed all key potential errors by officials for 2017/18 (disallowed goals that should have stood or vice versa, and sending offs wrongly given or wrongly not given), giving a corrective table on the right. We would’ve finished 9th in a perfect world. Costing the club many £m. There’s no evidence that the top 6 all gained overall, it’s a mixed bag.
The same study for 2018/19 concluded that we would’ve easily finished in the bottom 3, but I can’t find a hypothetical final points table.
It will interesting to see if VAR does significantly reduce the impact of errors per club over a season.

The actual table and the luck index are't too dissimilar, which proves you make your own luck. The teams down the bottom were there for a reason as were the teams at the top
