Sportscene Watch 19/20


Recommended Posts

Watching the Sevco vs Celtic highlights Celtic have a huge away section behind the goal, instead of the shitey wee corner everyone else gets. Considering this is surely the game with most demand from Sevco fans it seems bizarre they would give Celtic such a large allocation.

Quid pro quo - Celtic get a big allocation at Ibrox; Sevco get a big allocation at Celtic Park.

Game theory in action.

Good to see the Sportscene on screen stats are as accurate as ever. Only two attempts on goal for St Johnstone says the graphic after they'd shown five on target attempts in the three minutes of highlights alone. Why bother putting them up if they're not even going to be representative of the highlighted they're showing, never mind the 90 minutes as a whole?

I could be wide of the mark here but think those that collate this sort of data only count an incident like the equaliser as a single shot on goal and Maclean's effort that strikes Gogic would be classified as a blocked shot rather than an effort on goal. Cummins' header probably doesn't meet the criteria either.

The original MacLean header definitely won't show up on the xG maps that appear this week but it'll be interesting to see if his blocked shot or Cummins' header do. I'm still sceptical about the reliability of the data these guys are using, although it's moved on from using the BBC text updates!

Folk that don't use MacLean hitting a shot into the exact middle of the goal, which was only stopped on the line, as a shot on target, are needlessly complicating a simple stat analysis, IMO

And not counting Cummins header-albeit an unorthodox one that was half blocked by a defender then picked up on the line by the keeper - would also strike me as a bit bizarre. Can almost understand not counting a rebound as obviously you can't score two goals from the same opportunity, but aside from that not counting those two chances as attempts on goal/on target when the player has had an attempt at goal and it has only been prevented from going in by the actions of a defender/goalkeeper is ridiculous.
