I get that it can tell you who's at a heightened risk of injury etc and who's probably not able to play and its good for that. In regards to data however especially when it comes to match performance is too muh. Expected shots and all that is just a complete nonsense.

So if you were around in the 80’s would you would have moaned about the more modern methods Souness brought over and implemented and complained that they were a nonsense just because you didn’t see the benefit of them? And for what it’s worth, I’m not a big stats guy, but I think people who think sport science is a joke and that it’s ruining the game are just people stuck in the past. Players across the board are physically fitter, stronger and in a lot of cases playing for far longer than they ever have before. It maybe makes the game more sterile and takes the unpredictable maverick factor out of it a little bit but it’s clearly effective on players overall fitness.

I'm not saying its a joke sports science is beneficial as I said in determining who can be played and that but stats I can't get on board with at all.

Cerny for example was capable of playing at least 45 mins, but we didn’t start him (and try and get ourselves in a strong position) because he was advised not to.

King Jela 21,614 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 If the board are actually laying the groundwork for sacking Clement (which I think we can all see coming) then who lays the groundwork for getting them to fuck?

I don't see anyone investing. There's no money in Scottish football, so the only reason someone would invest is if they are a Rangers fan and want to help and I feel like we've exhausted most if that avenue already.

I was against it when he was initially linked with us, but fuck it, gamble on Lampard. Can we get any worse? He took Derby to the Championship Play-Off final and qualified for the Champions League with Chelsea, having had to cope with a transfer embargo. A total shitshow after the embargo was lifted and again at Everton, but if he done well at Chelsea and Goodison, we wouldn’t get near him. And the ones we’ve put in up to now have been world beaters??At least Robinson gets his team to play football and would come from a Rangers background.

That's exactly what I think as well. Think the stadium debacle has put rest to any further transfer activity, probably why Clement got the new, oddly timed contract as well. To shut him up in the short term. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
