Additional notes:
Goals For
Added:
1. Good goals that were scored but were wrongly disallowed for offside, foul on the keeper, ball didn't cross the line etc.
2. Penalties that should have been given (it is assumed that all penalties would have been scored)
3. Goals that weren't scored but would have been if not for miscellaneous injustices - e.g. wrongful red cards* to key players etc.
Subtracted:
1. Goals that were given but should have been disallowed for offside, foul on the keeper, ball didn't cross the line etc.
2. Penalties, or direct free-kicks that led to a goal, that shouldn't have been given
3. Goals that were scored as a result of miscellaneous injustices - e.g. wrongful red cards* to key players etc.
Goals Against
Added:
1. Good goals that were conceded but were wrongly disallowed for offside, foul on the keeper, ball didn't cross the line etc.
2. Penalties that should have been given (it is assumed that all penalties would have been scored)
3. Goals that weren't conceded but would have been if not for miscellaneous injustices - e.g. wrongful red cards* to key players etc.

Red Cards
*The effect of incorrect red cards is determined on a game-by-game basis taking into account the influence of the player sent off, how well that player was playing, the dominance of the team incurring the injustice, and the minute of the sending off.
Examples: Titus Bramble sent off incorrectly in the 85th minute of a game Wigan were struggling to control is presumed to not effect the outcome of a game. In comparison the incorrect sending off of Christiano Ronaldo in the 20th minute of a game that Man. Utd. were dominating is likely to impact the outcome of the game.
