[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 998944, member: 71826"] Is the premise accurate - do we have any data to show your hunch is correct? Genuine question - based on observation I’d say you’re probably right the though. In that situation, the losing team tend to play a bit more aggressively because they have no choice, and the winning team tends to go into their shell because it’s a normal psychological response. This means a momentum shift to the losing team being on top, and most penalties are always awarded to the team on top. [/QUOTE]
