Marshmallo Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47951535 This shambles from the BBC, particularly the Killie and Rangers parts next to each other. Killie get panned for their record against the top 6 with a weird graph, then Rangers get reported as having a chance to "flex their muscles" after the split. The metric used for Killie is % of points won against the rest of the top 6 - 1) they have less games to win points against the top 6 by virtue of being in it and 2) their %age is higher than Rangers. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I've told you before, because you make something up and put it on here passing it as fact doesn't make it an actual fact. There wasn't any slavering over Shinnie or there wasn't more contact on Shinnie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 It's not about the decisions though, is it? It's about the effect it has on the game as a whole and indeed the narrative around it.Nobody is talking about a brilliant game of football, and all the fans in the stadium are left in the dark while some distant faceless individual behind a TV screen makes the call.And that latter part would be worse in Scottish football, given that most clubs don't have scoreboards, let alone TV screens in the stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are folk going to talk about the whole picture here? Bowie is well aware that his decision has financial potential implications, he himself has openly addressed that, yet its all the jounos want to talk about. I think and hope other teams will stand with Killie, especially if the **** reject their ticket allocation. Rangers cant do that to all 11 teams. For once, stand up to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Narrative. Fans in the dark. Those same fans who, of course, will give referees absolute dogs abuse, and then when the idea of those referees getting help comes up, they ridicule it. f**k em. Keep the fucking morons in the dark and let them simmer. Referees badly need help. Anything that does that, I'm happy with it. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody would be talking about the football either if there wasn't VAR and an offside goal had allowed Man City to progress (see also: Swansea in the FA Cup). And the fans are hardly left in the dark given there's big screens telling them and an announcement is made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely zero surprise to see a huge upturn in stuff like this and the 'look how many folk watch Celtic and Rangers' piece after Stefan Bienkowski got himself a job at BBC Scotland. A man who uses stats to cover up his chronic lack of Scottish football knowledge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
