It’s probably not the right thread so I’ll leave it at this.
I’m trying to be as unbiased as possible.
If the results are reversed and Carlton were to lose my points still stand re; free kicks and outcome - it’s more the when than the where. A free kick can be as impactful on the game no matter where it is paid.
You’re watching the wrong game if you think it can be simplified to A or B
There’s far too much complexity & nuance to dumb it down to that level.
Hope that answers your question.
In the simplest of terms, would I be pissed if it was Carlton loosing the match in the same circumstances?
Most definitely.
But in 120 minutes of football to say that a singular 30 seconds, regardless of what occurred, played a more significant outcome in determining the result of the game than the remaining balance is just incorrect.
You have a right to feel aggrieved, your team lost. What occurred in the last minute of the game wasn’t the singular determiner of why it did.
Ah yes so a simple question based on a large claim of yours. You claim that one free kick is not more influential than another. I have show it is. While trying to not be biased you are showing yours as it is clear as day that some are more influential than others. In this case it really is as simple as A or B as we are not talking about the outcome of the game, we are addressing your claim that some free kicks are not more influential than others.
It is clear they are and to pretend otherwise is foolish.
I will give another example as you have refused to answer a clear question.
If you were guaranteed 15 free kicks a game and could choose where they were awarded would you choose 'random' or would you select where they were awarded?
Remember we are addressing the absurd claim that some free kicks are not more influential than others. Nothing else.
Let's see if you are willing to answer. It is an easy question.
I also take your refusal to answer the previous question as an admission by default that you know the answer to the question, but are refusing to acknowledge it due to bias. So thank you for your answer by omission. I appreciate the dialogue.
