kirke did indeed go off injured and spent some time off the pitch due to this.

Some people's assement of players' performances post match is just a joke.

Totally agree they have a very blinkered view and change their views from game to game. Look at some of the squad who are 'internationals' and should be setting the standard.

Fascinating, no really.

Its just the thing I need to help me sleep on these hot summer nights.

Luckily for you they'll be a clue in the thread title.

It'll look something like this next week 'Opta Stats V Les Catalans'

There's something in the stats for everyone, even those with no interest.

Uh-oh, I'm getting wood now.

I'd like to see quick PTBs but they don't seem to publish that.

Thats good, I'll remember that, a salesmans dream.

"What do you mean you don't like it, you're still going to buy though aren't you"

I'd say time on the pitch and amount of substitutions was rather important to make much sense of it

at Bailey's stats.

5 metres per carry, 2 errors, 2 penalties and 3 missed tackles out of a mammoth 22.

Biggest fraud in SL, how he continues to get a gig at probably the biggest club in SL is beyond me.

He must be on 47p p.a.

I agree time on the pitch would be useful and I'll have a look at including it for future Sky games but it won't be available for the non televised games as I prefer to watch rather than take notes.

I'm always surpsied at how pi$$ poor the stats on substitutions are. It seems that whatever systems journalists/media people have they can't deal with someone going on/off multiple times. It wouldn't be hard to state the times of substitutions

According to Skysports.com we only seem to make about 8 interchanges per match. either their wrong or it's bad management
