Today's Football 2025-26
Re: Today's Football 2025-26
With the amount of stats knocking around in the game you'd think there would be some independent analysis of +added time played by team.
Eg. A comparison by team of added time played in matches, with time normalised with all other match factors such as injuries, substitutions, dead balls, goals etc accounted for.
Then run the numbers by team for when each side at 90 mins were currently losing/drawing/winning.
It shouldn't be too hard to put together and would be evidence for a conversation starter, or perhaps ender.

If we win tomorrow then it is a perfect weekend for me.
A fantastic Thursday night at St James Park watching Exeter beat Plymouth comfortably.
Liverpool shite and lose again.
An Everton win and I have a very rare weekend where all 4 teams go my way. Over to you Everton....

Kerkez was garbage again, but Szoboszlai was brilliant as he has been all season.

I watched the last 20 mins or so and it's hard to argue against the feeling refs try to give them every advantage to score an equaliser or winner in the dying minutes.
Did the keeper really hold on to the ball for too long? Even if by the letter of the law he was a second over (no idea if he was) it wasn't blatant and it didn't seem like he took longer than any other keeper does at any other point in a game.
The added 4 minutes to the additional seven.
Just hard to not feel there's something untoward going on. Even if there's not why aren't the same rules applied for other teams? I don't mind the keeper rule because they do hold on to it too long otherwise and delay the play, but you can't only apply it to a team playing against Liverpool when they're desperately searching for a late equaliser.

I think you can make a case for the pen not being a pen though.
People will ignore it but there’s been plenty of decisions going against the stinky six this season.

Tbh I didn't see the penalty so my perception might be skewed a bit, but there does seem to be some strangeness around the end of matches with certain teams depending on if they're winning or chasing a result.

They won't be happy until the Saturday 3pm kick off is a thing of the past. Overseas games will be next.
