  1. That is disgusting how he's went into that tackle on McCausland.
  2. Four DMs now?! Get PC tae f*ck!
  3. I think the evidence backs you up. You last complained about referees on 1st January: Then you have to go back to April 2023 for a similar post; both of which revolve around 'cheating'. You have to go all the way back to 2022 to find the more general complaints about referees: You've even defended, for want of the better word, a referee in the past:
  4. One. Game. At. A. Time.
  5. I have to make a different post because you can't see when I edit my posts.
  6. Rangers 2 - 0 Motherwell FGS Dessers
  7. Liverpool were forced to play youngsters in this instance, but I do agree with your point.
  8. Apologies. Added. FYI: I had Tavernier as FGS:
  9. What are your thoughts, folks?

  12. In what will be a surprise to absolutely no one... I've got the fear.
  13. Found it:
  14. Not really. I just vaguely recall a thread where you asked for our sporting heroes.
  15. Didn't you make a post about this a while back?
  16. The shot map (with Silva's goal highlighted) from the game shows the shots are either wide or outside the box (except for Dessers' two), which are not usually positions we score from:
  17. Every shot, off target, blocked, saved, hits the post, scored, has a xG probability. Yes, those shots had a low probability of us scoring from them. On average, we would have only scored 1 to 2 goals from those chances. That's not unusual: We scored from a few low probability shots, scoring from difficult chances, yet miss a few chances with a higher probability. It chances one's perception. That's why I like xG: it takes out the subjectivity we all see. Just imagine a penalty: everyone should be scoring every time, but it doesn't work like that; If you add up all the penalties taken over the last few decades, 79% are scored (0.79 xG). In a single match Tavernier can score 2 penalties, over-performing his xG, but over the course of the season he will score around 79% of his penalties.
  18. Incredibly efficient. xG is based on historical data: to put it simply, it is based on how many times a goal has been scored from a certain position in the past. (In reality an xG model takes into account many variables, not just position). For example, Fabio Silva's shot had an xG of 0.16, meaning that out of the thousands of past shots from that position, a goal has been scored 16% of the time. You won't see many goals from that position, compared to Dessers' second, for example (0.35 xG). xG fluctuates match to match (consider the previous match where we had an xG of 4.9, yet only scored 3, against County) , but over the course of several games it is fairly accurate in predicting how many goals we score. Remember how I said Dessers has an xG of 13 for the season, and has scored 12 in reality. It's fairly close, but I would predict these numbers will come closer over the remainder of the season.
  19. Was the lad that's been linked with Arsenal playing?
