Foul play in the chase for pointsApr 27 2007

HOW would the Premier League table look if refs got the key decisions right?

 

Now we know – thanks to a wonderful website.

 

And Joe Moan might be surprised to learn that it’s Liverpool and Everton who have suffered, not poor put-upon Chelsea.

 

If that impossibility, infallible officials, really did exist, Liverpool would still be third in the Premiership, but they would be four points better off – with very real hopes of a runners-up spot.

 

Everton, meanwhile, would be a monumental eight points better off, a UEFA Cup place already nailed on and Arsenal still just about in sight on the Champions League chasing horizon.

 

 

West Ham, on the other hand, would have been relegated weeks ago – and Charlton would be almost home and dry in the relegation battling comfort zone.

 

 

It’s all just a bit of fun, of course. But the creators of the ‘right result’ concept are wonderfully anally retentive.

 

 

“The Right Result concept was devised by people who’d had enough of seeing bad decisions affect the outcome of football matches week in week out,” explained the organisers, Arsenal fans themselves.

 

 

“Like many other fans, we don’t buy into the old ‘luck evens itself out over the course of a season’ line that gets offered up so often as if it makes everything okay, because luck doesn’t do this and it isn’t okay!

 

 

“We wanted to see just how different the league table would look if refs called it right more often.

 

 

“The Right Result panel is made up of members of the Association of Football Statisticians, who select the key injustices that happen each week, apply the strict rules of the game, and pass a judgement on whether or not questionable decisions should stand.

 

 

“In cases where it is simply too close to call, the decisions are put to a public vote with the majority decision being final.”

 

 

So which are the games which change?

 

 

The Right Resulters agree with Keith Hackett’s view that Andrew Johnson has been denied an inordinate amount of penalty kicks.

 

 

As a result, Everton would have won at Aston Villa (actual score 1-1), against Reading (1-1), at Manchester City (1-2), at home to Middlesbrough (0-0) and Chelsea! (2-3), they’d have beaten Newcastle (1-1) and Blackburn (1-1), but Andy Johnson’s last minute goal against Arsenal recently would only have been an equaliser, because Jeremie Aliadiere was brought down by Tim Howard in the area!

 

 

The Reds, meanwhile, would have lost 1-0 at Aston Villa (actual score 0-0), but salvaged a draw at home to Manchester United (0-1), beaten Chelsea 3-0 (2-0) and won at Middlesbrough (0-0).

Now about that Clive Thomas decision . . .

[Joeys Pogo]

I read that in the echo tonight -are they assuming that all penalties awarded would be scored - if so, its all bollocks

 

I fear another Moyesiah rant/video compilation

[RedPower]

This is ridiculous. You can’t just plug goals in retrospectively and expect everything that happened subsequently of that point in time to happen again.

 

It would only be of any use if the penalty would have been the last kick of the game, or so late on that the opposition wouldn’t have time to launch a result-changing counter attack.

[185]

So every penalty goes in then.

 

Right!

Yeah i bet the bitter fuckers never mention it again, fun my arse. The last line says it all.

What do they want? SIX points cos they would've scored another goal? Can someone explain that you don't get extra points for thee goals. (Shit, forget the goodison derby. Ahem, cough cough, i have)

One day, Prentice will make me lose the will to live

[FortressAnfield]

So if the referees got the decisions right ..........................

 

........... the top 4 would be exactly the same.

 

As for the rest - well, who cares about small clubs?

[Dicko]

This was on SSN on Thursday and as soon as I saw it I thought of Prentice, he's so predictable.

[JangoSolo]

Intersestingly, we'd be almost still in the title race!

[aws]

Same as last year. We'd have been about ten points better off as against Chelsea and the Mancs I seem to remember.

Yep! And the season when they finished above us, had the correct decisions been given in both our games and their games we'd have finished above them.

“In cases where it is simply too close to call, the decisions are put to a public vote with the majority decision being final.”

 

If they're "too close to call", how can the decisions be deemed "injustices"?
