Yes you are correct,
I like it when people say that.
Does that mean you were wrong?
Read my comment ! Also, I think Ted has spent more time expanding om my point and he is correct.
If the statisticians that record this stuff could also differentiate between, say time wasting passes, attacking passes, pass to restore order, pass to save my arse because I've dribbled too much ( perfect for teves), pass to goalie to keep the poor sod involved, or pass to goalie to hoof it to the opposition cos we're in panic mode ( especially seen against the rags in time added on for injuries in the second half).
If they could do that, then there would be no wars would there ?
I think in writing, you were correct,I am implying I got it wrong in how I should have explained myself better.
I'm man enough and old enough to admit I make mistakes ..... Are you rh?
The iPad is great for many things, but shit for scrolling these comments and for correcting mistakes and unlike many on here, I don't like to make spelling or grammar mistakes if possible. I'm sick and tired of reading "should of", what do the English teachers do in school these days?
I don't think what you say is what statistics are for.For me they are information to enhance or detract from what I am spectating.
I don't see them as a substiute for what I view simply to confirm a point I am trying to make.And if your trying to make or get a point across I see them as an aid that can help if it comes independant source I think the case for argument is less.For me if statistics is the sole source of information then you are right it is a flawed argument but if they are used as an addition to what somebody has witnessed then surely any additional information is beneficial.
Quite frankly, I don't trust statistics, knowing that Micah Richards is 100 % perfect in passing the ball square to Vince doesn't mean much to me.
