thanks CE stats amended Rananega - yes but according to the BBC, who usually get their stats from the Press Association, Anderson received a yellow in the 69th minute - so it stays
Mannion assist?! Their defender's headed it to TC surely
sorry Leuth but I am a little lax when it comes to "assists", as you should know, my reasoning is Mannion kicked it up field it went off a defender's head to TC and a goal

Unfortunately that would mean there’s no assist for that goal. Assist is the final pass (or touch of the ball) before the goalscorer receives the ball. In the case that the final touch before the goalscorer receives the ball comes from an opposition player there’s no assist.

of course I know that, but this is MY way of doing it as I have done for a number of years and will continue until someone takes this over - any offers?

Wow, sorry LL. Blimey, no offence intended.
no problem, I was a bit moody this afternoon - my apologies to one and all
Carry on LL, I know when I have mentioned something wrong with your figures, you have always thanked me and altered your figures. No one can be perfect, but you come very close and as someone who rarely see the game, I find your stats most interesting. Thank you

I'm quite happy with Lancs' methodology and am grateful to the effort he puts in. I always think the 'assist' is a bit of a funny stat anyway though. As I understand it, it came about simply as a way of recognising unselfish forwards who would make a pass rather than out-and-out greedy strikers who wouldn't, whereas it seems we often want to use it to describe something else, something rather more creative - perhaps what used to be called 'who made the goal' before 'the assist' became en vogue. In this sense, the twin assumptions that only one person assists and that that person is always the last person to play the ball are highly misleading. Very often the key action in making a goal happens before the final pass, but football's just too wonderful and messy to have any meaningful stat that takes account of all the possible permutations.

A bit like Amazon evaluations that give a product one star because the independent delivery service was crap!
Demonstrates just how dangerous of a player he is - even if it’s not showing on the stats sheet week in week out.

Hope you're doing ok.
