I read the shorter version of the Tomkins analysis. Very interesting and thanks for the pointer. I worry that people will skim it and draw conclusions that aren’t there (that all referees are biased against Liverpool in all matches). But it’s terrific work, there’s definitely something that needs to be looked at here, and I would like to see it expanded out to other teams. Need more work like this and it really needs to be looked at through a non-partisan lens.
@hallenbeck Strongly agree with every part of that. I don't know if Spurs fans have someone doing similarly detailed work? (Actually, I don't know if ANYONE has!)
No, not that I know of. It's truly impressive and valuable stuff. Sorely needed. Journalists need to pay more attention to it too.
