[Gascoigne8]

They don’t even hide their hatred anymore

I don’t think Stranraer got 59 touches

 

[Trigga34]

Even if they got the % mixed up it’s still wrong must be at least 80% 20%

 

[Clubdeckg]

BBC, why bother with them?!

Sky sports have the same. Very weird

 

[bluebells272]

It’s the same on all the usual apps, not just BBC. They’ll all get their data from the same data source.

we're through don't care how we do it, a last minute Tam Forsyth tap in will do every game from now till end of time

 

[kai-Johansen59]

I have always wondered how possession time is calculated.........does anyone know?

For example when their Goalkeeper takes a bye kick is the time he fannies about treated as their time or is it treated as out play and therefore neither Team’s time ?

 

[Jjbscotty]

I’m offended at this scandalous reporting!!!

 

[truebluerfc]

Flash Score give us only 33% possession in the first half

 

[borders billy]

Had to listen to the last 10 minutes in the car.
They actually commented on it being fecked.

 

[Uddy Gers]

I think they’ve taken into account the possession of their goalie at goal kicks.

It’s the only possible reason.

 

[HandsomeHead]

I think they’ve taken into account the possession of their goalie at goal kicks.

It’s the only possible reason.

It should surely work the same for the mentally challengeds in games they dominate, and yet . . .

 

[PalefaceRedskin]

It’s the same on all the usual apps, not just BBC. They’ll all get their data from the same data source.

Soccerway state it was 74 26 so they can’t all use the same source.

Ill Phil??!

 

[bluebells272]

Soccerway state it was 74 26 so they can’t all use the same source.

Fair enough. All the usual ones I look at had the same stats. The possession stat is clearly wrong.

 

[TwoBadMice]

The goal keeper will have added to their stats the amount of time he was taking with goal kicks!

What the actual????

They have actually changed it. I started watching the game at the 15 min mark. At that time it was 38%-62%. It was the same at half time.

It's successful passes, not time in possession.

 

[buc11]

That's amazing for so little possession, well done Rangers.

 

[eyalluvitt]

BBC go-to stat source for Rangers games

 

[Blues and Royals]

The blonde bint on Sky News this morning moaning our first goal should have been a Stranraer goal kick. Perhaps another mentally challenged campaign about to take off........

Counter attacking masterpiece

 

[Tannhauser]

Just give up on the BBC, most of us already have.

 

[Johnny The Fox]

Their website states that the highlights are being shown at 28:00 so that shows the accuracy of their efforts.

Sky sports was the same

 

[dh1963]

Imagine having 59% possession yet not a single shot at goal.

Sounds impossible.

 

[giogaddi]

This happens to us on a near weekly basis. I doubt it's a coincidence.

For example, go back and check the stats for the game v Killie on boxing day. BBC Scotland have possession as 50/50.

Incredible.
