graeme_4 34,350 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Bit of an odd article. Not quite sure of the point? Praises Warburton for commenting on the 'random' nature of football and his possession stats, and then says we shouldn't require luck. Bit of a confused message...

tannerall 25,935 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 There's a direct link between positive action and "luck" though. Some things like standing on a football touchline with your arms folded would probably cause more bad luck than good. Confidence and ability often seem to have a good effect on your luck, so we need to keep the winning habit and expectation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no real contradiction in the argument. I see it as a piece of realism, focusing on the need to apply yourself to increase your chances of influencing events positively.

ritchieshearercaldow 22,123 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 There's the saying "You make your own luck" but that's stupid you can't make luck, if you do your job right you might get lucky. The team have been doing the job, any luck has evaded us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears 792 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'd rather be lucky in their box than in ours. So let's spend more time in theirs than ours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let's spend more time in theirs than ours. That's exactly it. Spend more time attacking than defending then you increase your chances of all the positive things.

Some say ally was a lucky goal scorer but he put himself in the right place so that when a chance came he could take it. Similar with this team - well prepared and taking the opportunity - lucky!

TonyRice1872 105 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Thought it was a good piece, I think it's certainly true that people always look for someone to blame when you don't win even though that's not always the case and sometimes you just ddon't get the bounce of the ball etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 You don't get many managers admitting they were lucky to win a game but there are plenty who will bemoan their bad luck when they lose and we supporters are probably the same.

Bobby Hume 12,983 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Good article by chushynumber. An old tongue in cheek saying goes ...... "The harder I work the luckier I get" ....... A good answer when somebody rather unkindly thinks you have just been lucky , and doesn't want to recognise the efforts you have exerted to reach your goals. I think "luck" is just another word for being in the right place at the right time ...... and that the time and place where so called "luck" is found, can be increased by concentrated effort, but will still be subject to random chance on the day, as we see every time at football matches in this case. But as is human nature, someone will have to be singled out for blame rightly or wrongly ........ depending on their luck ....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Robot 21,138 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I think sometimes you can compare the bounce of the ball to either good or bad luck but at the end of the day it's just the science of reaction and opposite reactions and this is all dependent on all the players, their positioning, their skills, the ball and the surface. You then add the numbers game to it and the more chances you create the more your going to score. You only get the good or bad luck when you add the human emotion side.
