    I cannot believe people and engaged, and no doubt well paid, to undertake pointless "studies" like this.

    Unless the "incorrect" (in their opinion) decisions happened at the very end of the game then there's no way of determining how the rest of the game would have turned out if a different decision has been made.

    If someone loses a game 1-0 but didn't get a penalty in the 37th minute when 1-0 down, who is to say they would have scored it and that the game would have finished 1-1 anyway?

    It's like when a team miss a few chances when it's 0-0 and people say they should have been 3 or 4-0 up by now; it stupidly assumes that one goal would make no difference whatsoever to the flow of the game.

    That’s exactly correct and that is the point I usually try to make (often without success) when people talk similar nonsense relating to football.

    Very true but I wouldn’t get so angry about it. Take it for what it is. Interesting. They haven’t gone back and retrospectively changed the actual results

    Be interesting to see how they get on this year actually.
    Anyone know if they've strengthened at all? Wonder if it could be 2nd season syndrome and they'll struggle.
