TEN!

I know I may have mentioned this before but TEN!

Ten percent possession!
That's astonishing!
Were they actually there?
Congrats though, it's a remarkable statistic.
Well done.

Ps. How much of that was getting the ball back for bye kicks?

We'll deal with the 'Champions League' you guys deal with trying to climb the hedges to see the game.

Somehow Rangers managed to get their best result of the season on Tuesday

Didn't even know they were playing, don't follow amateur football that much though

Skelped? How do you draw this conclusion chum? I merely congratulated the tic on managing ten per cent against barca, where have I been skelped?

And you say that I have admitted rangers are a new club? How do also draw this conclusion? Never mentioned rangers once?

Dillusional!

Where does it say 10%? It ranges from 18-28% on all the reputable sports pages.

% possession is meaningless.

There are as many ways of calculating as there are media who release it.

Some use all 90+ mins.

If there is a 3 min stoppage they award that to the last in possession.

I remember about 5 seasons ago it was calculated that the average time the ball was in play was 52 mins of the 90+.

It's all meaningless entertainment for poor souls who support a Div3 side and canny get oot tae the Bingo any mair.

Up there wi Attendance Trophies.

A bit like Ecky's "funfzehn" article this time last year....
Just so you have the official stats....

26% posession is probably as good as most Spanish sides outside the top 4 get at the Nou Camp. Indeed Chelsea only got 28% posession in the semi at Nou Camp earlier this year.
So I think we can say that we weren't disgraced the other night
