I noticed you let ODN's post, (that cracked me up in the first place), on speculation on his salary slide through to the keeper:D
No, Blue World has been around long enough to know that I'm not to be taken seriously. :)

Very harsh. Man chill out:D Are you his love child or something:) ? You spend an awful lot of time defending him.

There are lies, lies and damn statistics:) call me a traditionalist, but I define a hardball as someone getting in and under a pack to get a ball out to a teammate or knowing you are about to be hit but going for the ball anyway and getting it to another player.

Sorry if I used the broader term of hardball get that seems to have upset you:) Just forget I mentioned get and concentrate on the hardball. Slipping into modern jargon shame on me. The term Hardball get these days is worth about as much as the term contested mark. Don't let statistics blind you to the realities of the modern game.

I noticed you let ODN's post, (that cracked me up in the first place), on speculation on his salary slide through to the keeper:D Pick your targets I guess.

It was a bit of fun mate. Ryan is a typical modern footballer and I'm not calling for his head. Don't be so precious:)

I'm sure the people that do the stats objectively know what a hard ball get is. They're kicks won under pressure- not the easy kicks you say are all he ever gets or whatever point you were trying to make. If it's just a bit of fun then we'll leave it at that..

Ahhh...I guess my post came across as serious then:) ... but anyway:D

Is there anyone on this board who isn't mainly tongue in cheek?:D
No no, you misunderstood. I was being serious, just nobody takes me seriously!! :D

I'm currently going through a stress less period. No need to stress until there is a real need to stress. All this sitting around and waiting for things to happen, is not good for the health.

Most gracious:) Although I would still like to know if Ryan pays you:D
My point is don't be so stats focused. Stats do lie.

A player under a pack of 8 or ten players who gets it out only gets the same hard ball get as someone who contests the ball with one other player.

Someone who takes a pack mark still only gets credited with the same contested mark stat as someone who is contesting with one other player.

Once upon a time you were expected to beat your direct opponent without it being called a hard ball get and getting the hard ball meant going into a pack to get it or taking a hit to get it:)

Times have changed:)

Jumping at shadows helps get the boards count up though:thumbsu:
