Thats an interesting statistic if correct, considering MOTM has been with us for over 50 weeks of TFF in total. Maybe that proves how random it can be - alot of peoples posts in the past have suggested the MOTM should allways come from the winning team.Bramernic wrote:Is that the first time that EVERY man of the match was on the winning team?

The matches were generally not that close which could explain it in part. The first 9 games were all victories to nil! Probably several years since there were 9 of them.Plastic Scouser wrote:Thats an interesting statistic if correct, considering MOTM has been with us for over 50 weeks of TFF in total.

Yes ok he did not touch the ball BUT he let it run across his body & this out foxed the defender, which in my eyes he WAS in control of the ball, therefore, this HAS to be a Key Contribution!

And maybe he did dive yes but this is not in question when it comes to KCs! The ref gave a pen, end of story.

Because I understand football! and anyone who does understand can see that Rooney had control of the ball in his possession...its simple. King Kenny, Maradona, Pele were all masters of this skill & please dont tell they werent in possession either!

I think TFF 'case history' is the only thing in this world that says Rooney wasn't in possession of the ball.The Jezster wrote:You clearly, however,dont understand the term in relation to Fantasy Footballspiderm4tt wrote:Because I understand football! and anyone who does understand can see that Rooney had control of the ball in his possession...its simple.

Yes maybe I dont in relation to Fantasy Football...but u cant blame me as the TFF decisions are poor at times to say the least.

Guys, I know you're pissed at the decision but according to the rules of TFF running after the ball doesn't put you 'in possession' and therefore doesn't merit a KC.
Of course by any standard it was a key contribution, but it wasn't a Key Contribution (if you see what I mean).
I've had 'Mr Angry' arguments with Bram before and I've always been wrong. Sometimes we let our emotions guide us - call it the Pardew-Wenger syndrome.

For what it's worth, I think he should have got a KC because being in such close proximity to the ball is clearly a sort of posession. I also think that when a defender hand balls on the line the striker should get a KC for that penalty as well. However, this thread is all about giving an early indication of what KCs are likely to be awarded and it was clear to me that he wouldn't get one. In addition to helping people tot up their scores, I'm sure some people then decide whether to go for MOTW as well, so it's best to be realistic on this thread.

Me too. Lennon had some great flashes, and his finishing was perfect, but he wasn't ever-present. He seems to be a Cesc-like MOTM default right now, though. Dawson was everywhere. Keane I'd have as a distant third, if that - Robinson was pretty solid, too.stevejtr wrote:
Actually I'd have given it to Dawson

Bramernics KC predictions have become a self-fulfilling prophecy?
If you are just saying that tongue in cheek, then you should be delighted that we have someone on FISO who can determine so often who gets the KCs. What good would it be if we all accepted that Rooney would get a KC, if on Wednesday you looked at your points and it wasn't there?
It's not Bram's fault (unless of course your initial consideration is true ).
