League one forever Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 29 minutes ago, Lee Sinnott said: Fans are never the difference in a football match between 22 grown men... Technically your right, because we’re not on the pitch. But I can can think of umpteen tight games, where the crowd have had a bid impact, both negative and positive on the result.

I have done a lot of work in behavioural study - it’s proven that human beings react well when encouraged and poorly when derided. footballers (or 22 grown men) are no different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the ball crosses the line or not is down to the players? A handball that isn’t a handball is the player? a foul outside the box versus in the box is the players decision? a foul that isn’t actually a foul is the players decision? ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
