vs Killie - lost - thread length 33 pages

vs Livvy - comprehensive win - thread length 10 pages 

 

 

Maybe some feel more frustrated when you lose games, when we win it is more satisfying, contented with the win?

Shut it or I'm deleting your post

 

I understand that, and don't disagree - however, I would also contend that people are more willing to be negative than they are to give credit and talk up both positive performances and results.  A 3 to 1 disparity seems OTT to me.

 

Either way, it was merely a jocular observation

Oh for sure most like to moan more than celebrate?

So what you are saying is Craig's Killie to Livingston posting ratio, which is 4:1*, is superior to the overall ratio of 3:1* and that would make Craig above average on what he described as a willingness to be negative.

 

* approximately

You can make stats to suggest anything.

To illustrate that point, 7 out of Craig's 11 posts (up the point earlier), were from before/during the game.  

 

For the Killie thread, he made 5 posts before/ during the game, out of the 40 total.

Make up your own conclusions from there.  But that would perhaps make the ratio closer to 9:1 in terms of posts after the game, once the outcome was known.  Seems a bit OTT to me

According to Craig's measurement,.. Willingness to be Negative,......... he'd be in the bright red or 'Ultra Grade'

In the interests of fairness,

 

@buster.

 

You had 8 out of 23 total posts in the Killie thread prior to/ during the game.

And for the Livi game it was 10 out of 13.

 

So by the same bullshit invented metric, your ratio is 5:1, which suggests a propensity to the negative as well

My recollection is hazy but I was probably offering a plethora of positive solutions 

 

A Bullshit Invented Metric (BIM) has a certain ring to it and might be the most positive thing to have come from this line of chat
