Buddist Monk Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 1 minute ago, Monkey Tennis said: Ok - I'll break it down for you. You said "the free hit revolves around the points gained". I'm saying how so? I don't see the point in continuing this. To everyone else but you, it's abundantly clear what the term "free hit" means and that it's in no way mutually inclusive with a team not wanting to win.

That isn't the point he's making, he's somehow correlated the idea that if a team isn't expected to win then they simply won't try. As for the stats you laid out, fine as they are, they are massively cherry picked. Accies may have gained 3 points against Rangers but they also beat County over the season (2W/1D/1L) which I would contend had a bigger affect on their league position.

I'm challenging the idea of it though as I think it's nonsense. Your difficulty in responding, is not shifting my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus wept. what a fucking mess of an answer. Your argument is put into question as it could easily be posited that a free hit allows teams to go out there and attack, because nobody expects them to win there is nothing lost in throwing caution to the wind. As for "your view", that, my friend is a problem only for yourself. The free hit that everyone else understands is not based on the performance as such but the result. Most would expect us to begin the day on 3 points and end it on 3 points, if we end it on 4 or 6 then that's fucking magic, but the odds are against that. Does that then correlate directly to players on the field saying, "well f**k it, we aren't expected to win this game so I'll just not bother"? No, it doesn't, and I think anyone who has played for their team at Ibrox will happily testify to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 There is absolutely f**k all wrong with supporters seeing a game as a free hit. It's up to the players and coaching staff to see it differently. Not the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The notion of a free hit is fallacious though, and to entertain it is to embrace delusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
