So, are we now saying that statistical evidence suggests that, not only is the chief's theory completely made up and untrue, but that the opposite in indeed a FACT! That's gold-dust, he'll do his nut in.
Could be worse because there are fewer? In a squad of 20 or whatever how many are left footed? 5 maybe? Perhaps then there is a lesser chance that the left footed player will be a penalty specialist and therefor never takes pens so when it comes to shoot out time he isn't one you would want.
But you get top drawer left footed players who never miss from the spot. It's all about the player, foot doesn't make a great difference.
I don't think he will take it well.
Granted it's an opinion based on guesswork on my part. Then I believe as it's the Chief who made the claim, it's his duty to provide a link and prove me wrong.
This is all very confusing.
Not according to our Chief. He still claims Fergie has uttered these words.
But deviously amusing nevertheless. I gotta go to work in an hour and i'm worried i might miss something.
Last time we posted something from a sport science journal in the equally reatrded talent v skill v ability v development thread he told me it was 'drivel', i imagine this information will also go unnoticed.
I'm still interested to know where he got his facts from, he could always just post the link....
Now you're being unreasonable Rob
How can he post his brain, where the link originates.
He said he researched them himself
, but he wont post the exact results because we'll say he made them up (honestly, that's what he said). Frankly, If he can't even be bothered to falsify some results, how are we going to believe that the lazy fecker lifted a finger to do research on 2000 penalties?Fair enough Sultan.
Maybe that's the future of the internet, some kind of neural link, then we'd be really confused.
Honestly I decided a while ago that the Chief is a WUM, doesn't really matter though because the threads are always gold.
Chiefs the only person I know whose theories are facts before they have been proven in the slightest.
I cant believe this thread is 7 pages long. I never thought a thread on penalty's could be this interesting..
I never thought a thread on penalty's could be this interesting..here's how it started...
Richardson?
Someone dissagrees...
notice he requires others to have 'valid arguments' before they make a statement.
The wild conjecture...
some obscure validation...
rubberproof...
Why indeed...?
Not sure about this next one...
And after being asked, categorically, more than once, why he thought it was that left footers are easier to read than rights...
^^^^
He did.
But still...
And...
^^^^^^^^^^^
The likely outcome.
They taught Rubberproven facts at school?...
Then...
Still denying he's been asked anything...
That was all nearly a year ago!
Since then he's revealed that he did all his research himself, and has yet to comment on the actual research that was actually done in reality and backed up with links that other posters have found.

I'd love to see that study!!
IMBECILES
IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE STUDY GO AND FIND IT !!!! I AM NOT DOING YOUR feckING HOMEWORK FOR YOU MUTHER feckERS!
this thread is fecking gold!
Thanks for the summary Ciderman!
no problem, it's really worth reading the entire thread.
Yes chief, putting myself out of existence is the key to stopping the spread of stupidity. Oh no, it's not me who's the one pushing ridiculous theories as facts on an internet forum after all is it... it's you.
I see everyone is alive and well after my sleep.
That's good.
And the Chief even quoted my lawyer sketch. That makes me feel honoured.

At least with a trip no matter how bad it gets you can keep yourself sane by knowing there will be an end to it and reality will be restored.
Rather that frog is acting like you. Not knowing what the feck it's doing
Still to dumb to get it obviously. I gave you a way of finding your answer. You didn't bother to use it. Yet you still claim I haven't answered you. That is so stupid it's untruehere's how it started...

I haven't stated any ridiculous theory. I stated something that can be proven or disproven practically. Instead of setting out to practically disprove it all you and others are doing is just saying it's wrong. Based on nothing other than your own ill informed opinion. I still stand by what i said. The penalty taking of left footers is more predictable and easier to read than that of right footers. If you are in doubt go and watch a number of penalty shoot outs. And compare the number of times you were able to accurately guess where they would put there penalty, regardless of whether it went in or not. It is a simply task to do.Yes chief, putting myself out of existence is the key to stopping the spread of stupidity. Oh no, it's not me who's the one pushing ridiculous theories as facts on an internet forum after all is it... it's you.
Erm... Assuming anyone could ever be arsed to put themselves through such a tedious chore (which you presumably have?) All that will tell you is how well you are able to guess where a left-footed penalty kick will end up, watching the game on telly, from your seat on the sofa.
And that's got sweet feck all to do with the goalkeepers perspective. Which is the only perspective that matters.
No offence but no one gives a shit what you believe
Well, I think that this proves once and for all that Rubberman does this for attention, and is nothing but a WUM. I would hazard a guess that far more people care about what Bury Red thinks than the Rubberman.
Oh, and don't bother replying to this post, Chief. I'm talking to the sane posters, not you. See, when I say I don't care what you think, I actually mean it.
This method is very foolish though, and not at all scientific. You are still asking people to prove a negative. If I were to conduct such a study and come out with results different to yours you could still claim that you were correct and my analysis is flawed. Until such time as you post evidence, it remains your opinion rather than fact.
I completely forgot about this thread!
Comedy gold this is. Someone should compile a Chief's greatest hits.
Actually I'm not asking them to prove a negative. I asked them to go and see it for themselves. Using the method I've used. to call that proving a negative is preposterous. Instead of finding out for themselves, all I'm getting on here is that I'm wrong. Based strictly on opinion and no solid evidence to refute what I stated. With the very method I derived my statement being scoffed at. Frankly, I'm not the one basing things on mere opinion in here. That's for sure.
It's true I would still say I'm correct only because there are studies that back me up. One which was even quoted in this thread showing that left footers miss penalties more than right footers in general. However I wouldn't call your methods wrong or your analysis flawed. For I can't teach you to see what I saw. It's up to your brain to intepret what your eyes tell you. Not me. Neither is it my place to judge what you see. I just know evidence exists to back me up.
Which is pointless. Because you already don't approve of my methods in the first place. So me posting data on here wont make you change your views on the issue. You'd still say they are wrong. Regardless.
make this a sticky. its hilarious.
Oh Please!The keepers also see what you see. They are not blind. If I an amateur on a sofa, at home, can predict the direction of a penalty some what accurately. How much more a professional goal keeper?
hehe. classic.
where'd you get that picture from? its very wierd.
Actually, since 1988, I've been noting down the details of every penalty taken in the top 4 English divisions, the top 2 Spanish divisions, the top 2 Italian Divisions, and all major European competitions.
So far
where left footed players take penalties, the keeper guesses the right direction 44% of the time, but saves only 19%, while 8% are missed
where right footed players take penalties, the keeper guesses the right direction 46% of the time, but saves only 17%, while 11% are missed
These are the FACTS.
