    I'm asking why relevance is one keepers stats being compared to another keepers stats when we are discussing a technical error in a players game, particularly when the stats arent based on anything more than memeory.

    Birraz not letting in more than bk doesn't mean BK's positioning is wrong, there are way too many variables in any freekick to simplify a few seasons worth by simply looking at the result and who was in goals.

    Put petr cech in goals, let Ronaldo hit freekicks. Now put bk in goals and let you or me hit freekicks.
    Would the results suggest bk is better than cech because he concededed less? According to members assumptions he would be.

    I've said it before, his lateral explosive movement is of more concern.
    We're discussing "BK and Free Kicks". The stats comparing BK and Biraz are worthy of noting because it shows that BK deals with the free kicks he faced, in less game time, worse than the free kicks Biraz faced, in more game time. Like I said before, it is looking at the past, present and future to sort our keeper issue in general. This thread isn't confined to talking solely about BK's positioning and explosive movement.

    The stats don't have to be all-telling but they're a handy, somewhat-relevant, and existent indication.

    Whether these stats are based from memory or not, we all know that BK has conceded at least 4 and Biraz at least 1 (how appropriate that 1 is to this argument, I still argue as I said yesterday it was more of a hilarious accident more than an indication in how he deals with free kicks of the nature we're referring to) free kick. Both players may have conceded more but that doesn't change we know at least the minimum, and the minimum is telling enough as is. If you're so worked up about it, find the legitimate stats for yourself. Otherwise the majority of us are happy to take these and make judgements from it. Just remember we have guys on this forum who answer Jeterpool's trivia questions weekly from memories. People can remember random goals from Heskey, random Friday night wins v Heart, and all this other stuff. If Biraz conceded more free kick goals, I'm confident someone would have said "didn't Broxham score that free kick in S7R18" or whatever.
