Default The shocking REAL table without referees' mistakes

Aston Villa to avoid relegation, West Ham in second... and Man United in fourth: The shocking REAL table without referees' mistakes


ASTON VILLA would still have a fighting chance of avoiding relegation, West Ham would be above Tottenham in second and Man United would be all but certain of Champions League football.

Those are the shocking findings of what the real Premier League table would look like were it not for the top-tier's blunder-prone officials, of which Jon Moss was deemed the worst offender.

An explosive report from former assistant referee Glenn Turner of you-are-the-ref.com has revealed the impact of incorrect key match incidents this season.

And among the most damning is that dismal Villa - who were relegated nearly two weeks ago after just three wins all season - would still have a chance of avoiding the drop.

There would be more hope at the foot of the table with Rafa Benitez's struggling Newcastle outside the bottom three - at least two spots above where they are now.

At the top of the league, Slaven Bilic's impressive West Ham side would be in second behind Leicester, knocking London rivals Spurs down into third.

The report also claims the Hammers would have already secured Champions League football ahead of their move into the Olympic Stadium next season.

Filling out the crucial top-four places would be Man United, who currently trail fourth-placed Arsenal by five points.

As it stands, Louis van Gaal's men look set to miss out on Champions League football for the second time in the past three seasons.

Moreover, had referees not got wrong crucial decisions in their games, United would have knocked rivals Man City down and they would be in a Europa League battle with Arsenal.

The report claims that out of the 333 Premier League games officiated this season there have been 84 incorrect key match incidents, with the data taking into account findings from games up to the 19th of this month.

Moss, at the centre of the Jamie Vardy suspension storm, had the most key match errors, with 13.

He controversially awarded Leicester an injury-time penalty to rescue Claudio Ranieri's Foxes a point against the Hammers ten days ago.

The report states Moss was "way inferior to any colleague and, on average, was only a game-and-a-half away from another mistake".

Findings show Moss made an "incredible" 13 mistakes in 22 games.

The best-rated ref was Anthony Taylor, who averaged nine games per error.

Former Fifa referee and ex-Professional Game Match Officials Limited chief Keith Hackett said officials are influenced by the West Ham faithful.

He said: "I think what might come into play is the fact that it’s a pretty vociferous crowd.

"West Ham followers, they make the referee at times feel uncomfortable by the very nature of their reaction to decisions, right or wrong.

"However the referee needs to focus and maintain concentration and I think some of the decision-makers, when you look across the stats, need a kick up the rear!

"I question whether there’s a level of accountability that operates for referees that are making major errors, they’re still getting major appointments."

Key match incidents used to judge a referee's competence included allowing a goal which should not have been, incorrectly sending off a player and not awarding a penalty which should have been.
