One for the nerds.


Recommended Posts

Posted

In today's St George vs South Sydney game,all the points were scored at one end of the pitch,the score being 32-0 at half time and 32-12 at full time.

According to my basic maths,that's 44 points scored,all at one end. I wonder if that is a record,indeed  are such occurrences recorded?

Bit of a pain for those at the "quiet" end unless they had 20/20 vision.

Batley must be able to boast more than that.

I'm proud of the fact I'm a nerd. In my opinion there's nothing sexier than a nice graph or table of statistics or any map of any kind. I can lose hours just reading random tables of numbers.

I could spend many joyful hours perfecting a spreadsheet.

* Kent Non League Football

* Pirate radio

* Hornby model railways

I claim 10 out of 10 for nerdness:)

Agree will all them apart from replacing Kent football with railways.

David Middleton used to be the #1 stats guru for NRL. I can't find his FB or twitter page so maybe someone else can find him.

I'm a nerd but this question is in another stratosphere. 

It should be easy if you have the raw data since most game records include the HT score. You would then design a search like

(column A or B = 0 @ HT) and

(column with non-zero value HT = FT) and

(column with zero value HT equals or exceeds 0 at FT)

(order results by size)

 

I'm sure there would be low-scoring games where it was, say 10-0 at HT then 10-0 at FT but as for the highest, hmm ..?

I thought I was a nerd until a few weeks ago when I popped round my mates house who I've known for 20 odd years and he came out as a HAM radio nut. Completely took it to a new level for the next 2 hours telling me all about call signs and Romanian monastries. He only stopped when I informed I didn't give a 5hit and he needed to, please, stop!

You might have been better suggesting it's in another "mesosphere" as that's a higher layer of the Earth's atmosphere, the one above the stratosphere. Fortunately you didn't equate it to being in another "troposphere" as that's the lowest layer.

Don't you think there's a dearth of really exciting stories/arguments lately?

The mood in this place seems to have fallen out of the troposphere and is grubbing about on the ground.

Why do you think that is?

There's so much going on, and so much to look forward to and to be excited about, a World Cup, new business partners, more televised games than ever, new money for ground improvements, a new challenger (Huddersfield) to the games elite, new teams (Cornwall and Midlands), a great CC final. 

Yet this place feels as flat as a pancake.

Ah but do you have a fleet of Class 142s and 150s in your rail shed like your favourite psychedelic poultry friend or do you just go in for the more conventional steam engines?? 😏

Nah i can think of one off the top of my head which smashes that:

Leigh v Huddersfield, 2016 Super 8's

Half time - Leigh 42-10 Huddersfield

Full time Leigh 48 - 40 Huddersfield

76 points at one end.

 

Also recall Huddersfield losing 52-46 to Leeds in 2001, both halves seemed to be end to end although i can't remember much about the scoring pattern, theres a possibility both ends saw vast amounts of points!

But the aim is that one end has to have had zero points.

Does it? i thought it was just amount of points at one end, OP doesn't actually state it has to be zero.

Thanks for the replies,gents. I meant where all of the points were scored at one end only.

Broncos v Titans earlier this season comes close…..55-4 …and I was sat at the southern end were the 4 was scored!
