Grounded in the social impact theory framework, this study examined whether Norwegian Premier League (NPL) referees are biased by a team's success when awarding penalties. Using video footage (similar to video assistant referees), an expert panel (EP) of four NPL referees evaluated all potential penalty situations (N = 43) involving either of two successful teams during an entire NPL season. Fifty-five potential penalty situations from matches without successful teams were also rated. Overall, the match referees identified 73.3% (22 of 30) of the EP-identified penalties during matches without successful teams. Successful teams were awarded 110% (11 of 10) of the EP-identified penalties, while their opponents were awarded 12.5% (1 of 8). Chi square statistic revealed that successful teams were more likely to receive an incorrect penalty compared with their opponents, and less likely to be denied a penalty they should have been awarded. These findings indicate that referees' decisions may be unintentionally biased by a team's success, extending our knowledge about how football referees may be influenced by social forces.

All you need to do is take a look at this forum and see who it is that’s constantly moaning about refs being biased and cheating…. While accusing others of doing it without a hint of irony 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I was at it as I don’t really find Madden biased and find him one of the better referees in Scottish football.The only time I was really about him was when the **** were skint and had the heating off for their pitch in the championship and it was iced over. Madden agreed to try and play the match saying that he thought the ice would break up over a few minutes but it didn’t and the match was abandoned not long after it kicked off. Bit strange to start a match knowing it wasn’t fit to play on. It was on the TV though so may have had pressure from elsewhere too.

His performance in the semi final was shocking, I thought he was retiring at the end of the season after watching that, a ‘f**k it’ performance. Now I know why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was against Hearts I believe and I seem to remember a lot of both sets of fans got stuck on the M8 for hours due to the weather so when you think about it like that it was pretty funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Madden is moving down south for work reasons (i.e. his full time job), thus the 'transfer' to the FA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was this one https://www.londonhearts.com/scores/sea/2014-15.html Hearts were 13 points clear with 16 games remaining so if Rangers were going to challenge they really needed the fightback to start there and then so it was seen as a big event at the time. Madden also took charge of the replay but by that time the championship was decided https://www.londonhearts.com/scores/games/201504051.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10menwent2mow Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 Ach, it'll be ok, because once we get VAR, the decisions that Rangers and Celtic routinely get will be properly adjudicated. The refs will be more than happy to overrule the onfield decisions that they've made and it'll be reffing utopia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from when you play either at their home grounds, where there will be less VAR cameras. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
