Wow Rohan. Thanks. As a boyhood 70s fan who never moved beyond that decade and still listens to 70s regularly, I can’t believe I’d forgotten that song. Ballroom Blitz✅, Fox On The Run✅, but that song had been erased and it’s as ‘good’ 😂 as their other stuff.
Bazball type cricket just works. 😂 Love it. #AUSvIND
After 20+ years of almost weekly practice, I’m now consistently making the world’s best pizza base. Touch of crunch but still chewy texture. Love it!😎
Just sporting events? Wipe it from the earth.
In saying that I’m sure you’ve defined momentum as team which has ‘scored most recently’.
I really think that footy people see momentum as controlling territory or possession or maybe clearance. (Sure, that might lead to ‘scoring most recently’ also.)
Aren’t we comparing different definitions?
This analogy was oblivious to the fact that oppositions change tactics to stop momentum/run on/repeat scoring/whatever which can’t be applied to a coin toss. Yes, teams try to stop [momentum] - insert own word in [ ]. Until that new word is applied, let’s call it momentum (or run on). No biggie!
We both know that when ‘momentum’ is used in sport, it describes a team which looks to be on top. AFLGlicko prefers the term ‘run on’ which seems reasonable.
In ‘Footballistics’ a chapter showed chance is stranger than reality in regard to repeat scoring. I think a coin toss analogy was used. …
Momentum is a word, just a word, which fans, coaches, commentators - all atheists - understand how it is applied in sport.
Meanwhile stats folk (gods) are constrained by literalness, oblivious to fact that sport is an art as much as a science.
Momentum Gods are a figment of stats folk imagination.😉
You think therefore you are. Maybe you just need a career change.
Placentia Bay holding on for that long was a great effort. Definite blackbooker.
I doubt even I could have played that. 😉 #AUSvIND
I thought it struck him outside off. I’d make a poor umpire. #AUSvIND
Wonder if my son’s new friend is coming around tonight? Judging by the fact that his ‘living area’ is tidy for the first time in months I’m tipping that’s a ‘yes’. 😂
Transitioning now. Replacing X with Bluesky on the task bar was a pivotal moment. 🙂
Could have used this on X today.
This is new to me. Wife badly strained a calf yesterday and the new approach from the treating physio was to avoid ice.
The body knows how to fix itself, why fight it?

Feel like a stalker. Trawling through everyone’s followers(ing) to find who I need to follow.
I imagine the need to do so won’t last.
