North stand goal again

[Acker79]

Or you can choose to kick off first, passing choice of ends to your opposition?

I don't believe you can any more. At least, that's not how I read the laws of the game regarding this.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

If you win the toss you pick ends and get kick off for the second half. Who kicked off the second half?

Unless we are using a dodgy coin and we're winning the toss and choosing ends all the time, the opposition must be winning the toss sometimes. Yet, Palace game apart, winning the toss doesn't make much difference as both teams seem to choose allowing the Albion to attack the North goal. Surely a clever opposition that wins the toss would choose to make the Albion attack the South goal in the second half?

The Albion come out and establish base camp at the North Stand end before the toss has happened. Presumably, on the occasions that the opposition then win the toss, they can't be arsed to swap ends. Maybe their stats don't extend as far as NSC's stats and though they obviously know that we tend to score late goals, they maybe have no inkling that we score most of those late goals at the North Stand end. And maybe we should never speak of it again.

Perhaps most of the teams that have won the toss have wanted to attack the goal in front of their own fans in the second half? Maybe if after the extension the fans are pushed to the side, they will choose to swap ends more frequently. Or perhaps they just don't care, and stay where they are to save the effort of changing ends.

How many goals scored in the last ten minutes or 90+ ? Got to be a few.

In the league 11 scored in the last 5+injury time, 6 conceded.

Thanks for that. I thought it was a few, especially with william buckley leaving it late to score most games.

Serious issue if, like me, you sit in line with the penalty spot at the south end; although we do have Calderons goal against Bristol City to keep us contented.

Same view for me but at least in the WSU South End you can clearly see the ball heading goalwards & hitting the net in the North End , whereas side on to the South End its a bit difficult to tell until the net ripples

It would be good to know how many of the Amex goals have been scored in the first half and how many in the second. I expect it to be similar to the goals ratio for the North / South stand in favour of the 2nd half (when we tend to be attacking the North stand)

The palace game is the only one we haven't played facing the north in the second half, so,

Goals for
first half = south stand scored + 1 goal scored,
second half = north stand scored - 1 goal

and for goals against
First half = north stand conceded - 3
second half = south stand conceded + 3

The sunderland goal was the first half of extra time. It was scored in the south end.
