I don't do ice hockey but I suspect it has a revolving door policy of who's on the ice and who's in the dug out at anyone time according to tactics etc. That's not how football operates, only three substitutions are allowed per game.
The two sports are totally incomparable.


Yes, very true, the players change every minute or so in Ice Hockey and there are generally a lot more goals in Ice Hockey matches. This is why the +/- stats work so well for Ice Hockey and aren't used (as far as I know) for football. I certainly wouldn't use them to select a team, but it the stats on Hoskins, Zakuani, Moloney are certainly interesting.

I think someone has too much time on their hands. Seriously, you need a social life. #utterbollox

And yet.......you had time to read it and reply to something you're not interesting in.

Shouldn't Hanley be LB in your team? He's surely got to have a better score than Buchs -7

Good point, but I was trying to be as realistic as possible.

So you've done your little list but when it chucked up something you didn't like you just ignored it?

Grow up. If you don't like this thread, don't read it. Others with a bit more about them have added constructive comments. You and a few others seem to use this board for constant nitpicking. Pathetic really.

Firstly, I have to keep half an eye on pretty much all the threads to make sure you bellends don't start libeling people and secondly, I'll use the board for what I like, but thanks for your words of advice

If the figures have all been collected and reproduced correctly, the original table is probably one of only a few things that appear on this board that is based on fact and not someone's opinion.. .  Cool
