Completely agree. Running a line is immensely difficult when it comes to offsides, and VAR is better. It's miles from perfect though, and there are studies online on its limitations (many supported...

We'd have talked/argued about it for years... which is what made sport great. People love a bit of controversy. The minute you can make a reasonable case for a decision going either way, that's...

It's absolutely miles away from the ball crossing a goal line - that's a static line, painted, and a set camera position. Offside relies on a moving camera on two focal points, the ability to...

It's never been used correctly. It should only ever be used as a means to overturn decisions when there's a 'clear and obvious' error. Not marginal offsides, and only ever if you have enough...

I wonder how many players we'll be 'linked with' in mid-June.... :D

Fund incoming players? The under 8 season tickets are unaffected, so if we're pinning our hopes of getting Vardy's wages covered with a £1 per kid per game (for ONLY those buying game-by-game),...

We're definitely the right club to offer a 3 year deal to a 30 year old... shame he returns a decent goals per game number or he'd be perfect.

Some of the first world problems with this new package are hilarious. :D

Lots of football, on TV, as has happened for years, and not expensive.

Be nice to think the new TV deal will, along with relegation, would lead to a decrease in the prices. I can see some very empty areas for a lot of games next season anyway, so maybe the focus should...

So presumably if someone clocks one of your family climbing over the bridge, putting an end to their "real" problems, you'd want the passer-by to walk on and focus on their own family?

Under contract (assume won't pay off):
Nombe (2027)
Tiehi (2026)
Hugill (2026)

(Would happily contribute to a whip-round to see Hugill gone, however)

Under contract (one year, retain):...

Look, you can have a pint and your star keeper leaves for a pittance, or you can have a respectable fee and buy your own beer. You can't have everything.

I'd write down the quote below and carry it at all times, so I could make decisions without any rose-tinted spectacles making me think the bit of hindsight I just inherited would do me any favours......

Personally I think only half of what Bernoulli offered the world is useful, and half is misleading. As with most theories, once they reach the masses they become more useless/dangerous when only...

I'm under the impression George Friend is their DoF, so possible MT has little to do with contracts. Either way, I doubt players are led along with extension talk if they're obviously not part of...

Again, not without merit, the maths works. It just points at the fact the gains you can expect by deploying any sort of system are not going to impact the outcomes in a way 99.9999% of players would...

Millers have blamed the players we have though... so is it possible there's poor attitudes all over the game? I don't rate MT at all, but that doesn't mean he's always in the wrong.

By applying the underpinning themes in probability theory led by the Bernoulli school of thought. For example, it would be more likely to have a broadly even split of odds and evens, the average...

I've spent (lost?) far too many hours of my life working with Monte Carlo analysis to have faith that 'true' random will ever come from a computer, however small or large the output required, but as...

I love these threads.

Just offering my learnings:

After 10 heads with a fair coin, the guy with the Aphex Twin song for a username is right, the next flip could be heads or tails, and the prior...

To throw some more relevant stats at this...
24 strikers in the list through the link above. 20 of them currently not going up/down. ...

Exactly. Apply the logic to Luton and Coventry and just award three points where they couldn't fulfil the fixtures... great for the few it impacts, but demonstrates a governing body failing to...

He wins 43% of aerial duels (fotmob offers a decent stat pack), which is pretty good but is just an isolated statistic. His pass accuracy is woeful, his dribble success is poor, he barely ever wins a...

Bit of a farce when you think about Luton and Coventry having fixtures moved around to accommodate their problems, to name just two.

Jordan?? That you???

Seriously though, physical? Where's the line of broken defenders he's been through? Hasn't bothered the goal since.... *checks notes* ... October....!!! Wow, I forget...
