Week three of the SPFL and a relatively quiet week as the top two clubs racked up 9 goals without reply.
But there is always one!
The impact of that call being incorrect can then be evaluated using the framework outlined here -> Honest Mistakes in the SPFL.

Summary
My thanks as always to the Yorkshire Whistler.
Well, that didn’t last long.
That second goal really is crucial. For those that argue “ah, but they won 4-0 why does it matter?”. At the time of the incorrect call, it was only 1-0 and however much The Rangers may have been dominating the match, as a wise person once said, it only takes a second to score a goal.
See Celtic’s match at Ross County as an example. Celtic were well on top and dominating by all the metrics but the Staggies popped up with a header from a corner to equalise. Happens all the time.
Almost silence in the media about it as well. Hmmm.
Slight change to the Expected Points position, then.
The Rangers have 0.15 LESS points than expected due to the cumulative impact of Honest Mistakes.
The top two are level on points after 3 games.

What about the 2 penalties Celtic never got at Killie. Radio Scotland presenter mentioned first half penalty several times in disbelief it wasn’t given. 2nd half sky sports Co commentator clearly saw foul on Kyogo when Killie defender fell onto Kyogo.

That wasn’t the only infringement at a supposed goal against St.Johnstone.If you check stv’s photo of Tilman’s ‘goal’,you can clearly see Colak pulling the shirt of the Saint’s defender and that ‘goal’ should’ve been ruled out as well with Colak due an immediate booking.
