Abstract

In this chapter, we investigated the association between the number of matches officiated and decisions error among European soccer league referees. It is revealed from the finding of the study that a set of decision error indicators, namely decisions which led to disputes, foul not detected, offside not detected, as well as goal disallowed, differ significantly between high and low fixtures load referees in terms of errors committed. It has also been shown that referees of fixtures with high load committed more errors than those with low load. Moreover, an artificial neural network analysis was found to be somewhat effective in classifying the two groups of referees examined in the study.
