sugna Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Quick note on those (fascinating!) radar plots. There are two particularly strong reasons why they can't be used as a definitive indicator of "who's best", as well as several other minor reasons. The first is that there's no reason to suppose that a bigger area has any special meaning, or that more high scores is necessarily a discriminant. To use such charts in this way would require a priori agreement on a set of criteria that define "merit": these are pretty relevant measures, in my opinion, but certainly not definitive. In any case, there is no weighting associated with the different values, and at the very least a weighted sum would be needed in order to combine the data into a single, comparable, figure of merit. Secondly, the individual criteria are in some cases based on how often an opportunity arises, for example duels and blocking. It could well be argued that a better defender will integrate well with his midfield and help his team to control the game, and so actually deprive himself of a higher score in these areas. Finally, to undermine my entire argument completely, I think these are excellent presentations of very interesting data. As long as they're not misinterpreted as having more relevance than they actually have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I think you're being unfair here. Our Gable Endy pal got it right. Tavernier is easily the best RB in the Premiership. I’d say he’s the best attacking fullback in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I would have agreed totally, in fact if you go back 12-18 months I wouldn't have batted an eyelid if he was released, but id say he has improved defensively, not the finished article but definitely better. I think Candeias has helped him out with that. In the last game against Aberdeen at Ibrox it was his defending in the last 10 mins that got us the 3 points. He still has the odd mistake in him though, Re the hibs game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are excellent down the right hand side of the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that you will be there to contaminate the air.Furthermore John played well that night but was ably assisted by numerous new team mates playing in red n white hoops who were suffering from a deadly form of amnesia which rendered them incapable of basic defending.

I was there for the first game. Going through there once a season is once too many. Actually had very poor luck in the CCCS ballot. Pre split I only got St Johnstone but I was ‘lucky’ enough to get an Ayr cup game ticket 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the diddiest post you have ever made - and that's saying something. You linked to The World Stadium Database to show "List of UEFA Category 4 Stadiums" and, of course, Ibrox doesn't appear. Now from the same site you linked to go to the home page: https://www.worldstadiumdatabase.com/ Click on List of Elite UEFA Stadiums. I snipped to make it easier for you: Now look what you get when you click the link 'List of UEFA Elite Stadiums' link: I'mwondering if you're a disingenuous innocent or are really just thick as shit. Either way, you dropped a bollock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way Im not really fussed or bothered, but given your seething reply I clearly bother you for some reason?
