Hopefully Miley’s sunstroke will have cleared up and he’s back on form today. Ginger lives matter too!
That's a wildly inaccurate assessment as far as I'm concerned. There's virtually no such thing as a 0% for distance - unless perhaps it's the entire length of the pitch away.nowhere have I said you do
a> 0
b>0
c>25%
d>100%
so 125 out of 400.
even being generous, and making c 50....or adding 25% to b.....its still less than half

The direction of play factor is 100% met - the overall direction is towards the opponent's goal.
Likelihood of retaining possession is probably 95% or more - unless he trips over his own feet he's going to get to that ball - who else do you see that has any chance of reaching it before him?
So even if giving percentages is a valid way of assessing this, I'd say it's more like:
a) 25%
b) 100%
c) 95%
d) 100%
I said my last post but I need to answer that one. Equidistant between corner flag and goal. Nowhere have I said its going TO the corner flag. Am saying its going as close to the corner flag as it is the goal.
Also to repeat, am tempted and more than likely would have dismissed.
But for serious foul play.
For comparison purposes, here's the aforementioned Fulham vs Middlesbrough DOGSO red card. The incident starts around the 1m56s mark.
For what it's worth, I think this is an even more debatable red - there's no second attacker and Rhodes is not sprinting past the defender the same way the Newcastle player was.
No, as far as I recall, all reports gave it as DOGSO. I seem to remember it was discussed on here at the time and the discussion centered on whether the DOGSO decision that was given, was correct.Wasn't it subsequently confirmed that this was for SFP rather than DOGSO? In this one the defender has gone in with studs showing and it is much easier to say SFP for that than it is for Ward-Prowse's body check.
DOGSO for me. The clock on these screenshots is a good indicator of speed of the ball as well. Look where the challenge is made and where the ball is 2 seconds later. There’s no pace so it’s not reaching the 18 yard box, and it’s going nowhere near the corner flags. He’s in on goal, no doubt about it
Maybe I should type in capitals, but I wont
Nowhere have I said its going near the corner flags, what I have said and i cant see anything to dispute it, is, the ball is going as close to the corner flags as it is the goal
the pics you post merely back that up
that ball is running to the 18 yard line. neither on goal nor the flag, but equidistant between the two.
The ball is not going anywhere near the 18 yard line, at least not under its own power. Anyway, it's not about deciding what direction the ball is travelling, it's about making a reasoned judgement on what would have happened if the offence has not occurred. If the player had not been fouled, he would almost certainly have caught up with the ball a few yards inside the opponent's half. At which point he would have been free and clear of all defenders, heading in on goal with a team mate alongside him. The direction the ball was traveling as he knocked it past the defender and sprinted past that defender to take possession of it again, is irrelevant.Maybe I should type in capitals, but I wont

If that was to be a convincing reason then the mere fact one poster has posted 21 times in this thread to prove a point only proves not thusThe mere fact some posts are long winded only prove thus
Ok i missed that in the excitement. I doubt many Geordies would care about the FA code hahaI said on my first post I would dismiss for SFP
The OP referred to dogso, which I dispute.
So, he is still gping off in my game, Making any dislike of the shirt void.
Rusty, i'm sure you'd have been supporting red if AT hadn't choked on that card
