EddieB Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Due to their slow movement, all Llorises, including the slow Llorises, have a specially adapted mechanism for defense against predation. Their slow, deliberate movement hardly disturbs the vegetation and is almost completely silent. Once disturbed, they immediately stop moving and remain motionless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobby Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I see Aguero was celebrating with the team yesterday, it seems they registered him as an Assistant Coach so he's on the "team" and got a medal, nice touch by Argentina for a nice bloke who's career was cut tragically short! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold john new Posted December 30, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 30, 2022 Watching tonight's Liverpool game, currently at half-time, has raised a couple of thoughts. With the two first half Own Goals, and both credited too as OGs which in the modern era is rare for deflections like the first one:- 1) has anyone ever scored three (or more) OGs in a top flight game? 2) for the first one does the Liverpool player still credited with the assist? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Collier Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 In answer to 2) Trent has just scored 3 points for me for an assist in my Fantasy Premier League team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohmisterporter Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I don't understand this crediting with assists. Surely the whole team is playing a part in assisting goalscorers? Otherwise, as Brian Clough said, what are they doing on the pitch? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pH Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 In North American (ice) hockey, the players making the last two passes in the goal-scoring move are credited with ‘assists’ in the scoring. I think it can recognize the part they play directly in the goal being scored. For example, it’s possible that a player can stick handle past several opponents, draw the goalkeeper to one side of the goal, then pass across the goal to the actual scorer, who only has to tap the puck into a now-empty net. Who has shown the more skill and contributed more to the goal being scored? Or a player makes a long, accurate pass that splits the opponents’ defence and leaves the eventual scorer with a clear path to the goal. Again, the skill of a player other than the scorer has been essential to the scoring of the goal and I think it’s appropriate that that should be recognized. Some players make setting up others to score their specialty. If they get to play with natural scorers, the results can be very productive. Here’s one of the best combinations ever: https://www.nhl.com/blues/news/hull-and-oates-made-music-on-ice/c-645020 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the whole team is playing a part in assisting goalscorers? Otherwise, as Brian Clough said, what are they doing on the pitch? It’s a stupid statistic and much overused, often without context about how the goal ended up being scored. A typical example is where the player who passed or provided the ball to the one attributed with the assist, is the key playmaker who enabled the move to end up in a goal; but they get no acclaim. Whereas the one who gets the “assist” may have done very little or creative in the move, even as far as the ball just bouncing or deflecting off them, into the path of the scorer. Both have a role in the creation of the goal, but only one of them, and often the one with less credit in the move, gets the “assist”. . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
