Potential game changing referee decisions for and against us 2017/18

It actually starts at +2. In the Watford game I think there were 2 marginally offside goals. So the next item becomes +3.

6-0 vs Watford - First and third goals offside; +2

Missed that sorry!!

Bournemouth (A) - red card for Ake, denying a goalscoring opportunity

Have we been lucky with referees this season? On the balance is think all the decisions have easily evened themselves out. If there was a thread like this last season, I reckon the net figure would have been something like -30.

Okay, just thought this subject deserves a thread of its own and so I'm going to summarize all such decisions I recall.

Feel free to add any inputs I may have missed and mods, you may do the needful as you think fit.

2-0 vs Brighton - Nothing of note; 0
1-1 vs Everton - Red card against Walker; -1
2-1 vs Bournemouth - Penalty shout against Ake; -2
5-0 vs Liverpool - Nothing of note; 0
6-0 vs Watford - First and third goals offside; +2
5-0 vs Palace - Nothing of note; 0
1-0 vs Chelsea - Nothing of note; 0
7-2 vs Stoke - Nothing of note; 0
3-0 vs Burnley - Nothing of note; 0 (The penalty was legit imo as the GK clearly brought him down even though Bernado appeared to over react a bit)
3-2 vs West Brom - Nothing of note; 0
3-1 vs Arsenal - Third goal offside and Sterling's first penalty shout unawarded; +3 and -3
2-0 vs Leicester - Kompany's potential red; +4 (Personally I felt Stones' presence around the area helped here but I think red was the more popular opinion so I'll let that one fly)
2-1 vs Huddersfield - Nothing of note; 0
2-1 vs Southampton - Nothing of note; 0
2-1 vs West Ham - Handball in the box whilst still 0-0 not given as penalty; -4

Fucking lost me. I need to go back to school I think

-1 Sterling getting sent off for aggressively celebrating against Bournemouth - consequently banned for Liverpool game.

As terrible as that decision was I wouldn't count it because it didn't directly impact the result of any game.

But then our 3rd goal against Watford (maybe even 3rd goal against Arsenal) didn't really affect the game?

I would remove that qualification so it's just favourable versus unfavourable decisions. Much more black and white. I'd also include the countless soft decisions (big and small) that have gone against us by piss-poor refereeing in the Champions League. And include Delph's free kick as a decision that went our way but remove the correct decision by the referee when Kompany rightly received yellow in the Leicester game given that it was the 4th minute of the game, Stones was our deepest player, and Vardy was 25 yards from goal. But then again it's your thread so it's up to you.

I thought the point was only decisions which affect the result though do we really needs to count both goals since we were already ahead?

Agree.
