The media are so desperate for Man U to become relevant again that they'll present the luck of the draw as some sort of achievement.
Saudi Arabia is looking to recruit leading referees from the Premier League and across Europe to officiate on a full-time basis in the Saudi Pro League. (The Times) TAKE THEM ALL
the best thing that could ever happen. leave us with the female refs and linos please. far better standard and players are not as abusive then they do realise they only need about 10 refs and 20 linos as its a 20 club single owner shambles of a league that nobody attends or cares about
Hmm, don't think probability works like that. It's actually 1 in 4096. https://socratic.org/questions/a-co...number of possible sequences of heads & tails.
Take that Manc **** Paul Tierney. And that clown Coote. And obviously take the ****ing chief, Howard Bastard Twat Webb. Turd
No, their next draw will be 50/50. What’s happened in the past doesn’t have any impact on the future draws.
it's still not 50/50 their next draw may be for the quarter finals yeah? so they've a 1/8 change of being ball 1 out of the bag (home) then 1/7 of ball 2 (away) so they dont have a staight 50/50 shot until they are fleft in the bowl with only 2 balls left. it's not as simple as a coin flip basically as they have to miss being drawn out as away team until they are finally drawn out as home team using the old cold ball trick
They have a 4/8 chance of being drawn as the home side and a 4/8 chance of being drawn as the away side right now. That’s 50/50 chance. Apology accepted
nah fundamentally you've missed the point and need to go look up permutations. they've a chance each time of being away so it's never 4/8
You're introducing extra elements into the equation that aren't relevant - it's simply down to being drawn home or away in the original question, and the analogy to a coin toss is therefore valid. Therefore, as James Van Allen, a NASA scientist, said about the fruitcakes who questioned whether astronauts could travel through the eponymous radiation belts around the Earth, "Your suggestions are an assemblage of entertaining nonsense. I stand by my calculations which are available for present and future academics to srutinise and examine'.
it is relevant as its the architecture of the draw. if man utd beat Newcastle on the 31st then there will be a draw. Man utd should in a fair draw have a 1/8 chace of being name one out of the pot and so play at home. They then have a 6 in 7 shot of not being the second name out who will play away this continues on until they get drawn out as a home team due to cold balls syndrome. you are not tossing a coin here. It is more akin to rolling an 8 sided dice until man utd come up. I suggest you go get a DoD die out and call man utd no 7 and roll that dice and see how many times it comes comes out 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. you have to account here for man utd not getting draw out. In this draw Man utd actually came out third, the cold ball syndrome. Don't draw it out firs tit'll look worse. There were 16 teams in that draw on wednesday. There was a 1/16 chance of coming out first then 14/15 of not coming out second and a 1/14 shot of coming out then. it actualy truncates at that point.
Just when you think we've covered every single pointless argument, you boys find something new and possibly more pointless to argue over. It's a talent.
