Scotty Tunbridge Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 My favourite part of the game was when my stream randomly changed from Clive Tyldesley and Kevin Thomson to two random Hamilton fans that seem to do commentary for Hamiltom TV or some shit and it was just when they went 3-0 down after conceding 3 in like 5 minutes and they were discussing how hopefully they would would at least shape up well defensively.Not Hamilton fans, a hearts fan and somebodies pal from Larkhall (probably a ***). Those 2 clowns on commentary would still have been the worst part of the game for any Hamilton fan stupid enough to pay for that shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Absolutely clinical from Rangers today, an excellent performance. Tavernier again showing how important he is to the team. 20 games, 12 goals, 9 assists and 16 clean sheets is outstanding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're making jokes about blokes being on their period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mvondo_the_great Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Fair play to rangers. They are taking advantage of the worst premier league I have ever seen. In a normal league they would be sitting third. But gotta take these opportunities when they arise. Aberdeen know what I'm talking about Edited November 8, 2020 by Mvondo_the_great 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For many clubs their fans are the '12th man' - but Rangers are clearly playing with more freedom without the bile pouring down from the stands. James Tavernier in particular looks delighted that he can just concentrate on playing football. 4 hours ago, bennett said: FFS Tav!!! His post doesn’t apply to you, ben.

At times we can be our own worst enemies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say you're more of a Luddite than an outcast mate. But it's worth learning, because it's the most predictive football metric around that's publicly accessible. Basically, an xG of 4.94 means that, from the shots we take, we could expect to score 4.94 goals. This is calculated by recording where a shot was taken, comparing it to a calculated probability of that shot going in, then assigning that probability to the shot. So penalties, for example, are scored somewhere between 75 - 78% of the time on average, so a penalty has an xG value of between 0.75 - 0.78. The probabilities are calculated based on thousands of shot locations from years of football. Now obviously, the chance of Lionel Messi converting a shot and a diddy like Patryk Klimala converting that same shot are different, because Messi is a better player. So better players (and therefore teams) tend to overperform their xG, which is what we did today. Logically, it follows that poor teams underperform their xG. Now I was cheating a little bit, because single game xG isn't really a very good analysis of a game. There's a lot of luck in football after all. The best way to evaluate xG is to look at it as a trend over a stretch of games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye Olde Hamiltonian Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 7 hours ago, Owsley said: A Canning team lost 6-0 to Hibs, to be fair. At least we're getting absolutely horsed against a better calibre side. What I would say in defence of Canning(can't believe I said that as I wanted him out after the 5-0 defeat at Firhill in his temporary spell in charge) is that after a few really,really bad results we would grab a win somewhere out of nowhere against The odds. The same could be said of last season's Accies team under Rice but we had fighters in that team like McGowan, Gogic and to a lesser extent hard workers like Oakley. This squad doesn't have the Accies DNA in fighting for every point and the blame for that lies in those who brought them in,namely Rice and Maitland. I said at the start of the season I thought this squad could lose the first 11 games without taking a point as I had the fear looking at the calibre of recruitment and we could have done so: lucky against Dundee United who missed two sitters,a lucky win at Fir Park and at Livvy it was 1-1 when they hit the bar. Sadly,we all now have "the fear" and it is scary how bad this could get unless we change direction.This squad will now be bereft of all confidence and there are no Imrie,McKinnon or big Marko types to galvinise,kick arse and steady the sinking ship. I feel worse now than I did during the really bad years as there were circumstances which led us there but this has been due to monumental fcuk ups and as usual it will be the fans who get the blame when the brown stuff hits the fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that you're only here (and everywhere else) to take pops at Bennett, I was just wondering what you meant by fans going to Ibrox. Seems it was just a very poorly thought out dig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
