ZacNaloen I hope we are going to see a graph at the end of all this.


Yeah, really can't be bothered - especially as it's not exactly going to my hypotheses!

Will wait for 40 answers and then do an awesome page of graphs etc :lol:

Extended-Phenotype My guess would be that if you don't like a players character you will find it harder to praise them and ultimately you will pick up on more of their mistakes, possibly even fabricate problems with their game to fit your personal gripe with them.

Definitely true for me. I always give Pearce, HRK and Le Fondre harder times than they deserve.

It's a factor for sure. With some players I'm quite good at taking my prejudice into account and with others I'm not.

I think it comes down to that I'll defend a player I don't like providing I don't think there's a clear better option available. I used to defend Federici, because he's a good keeper, despite thinking he's a dick. But now we've got McCarthy who I think is better so I'm less tolerant of his weaknesses.

And of course, liking and rating a player doesn't necessarily mean you think they are good enough to be playing. Ledge for example, I like and rate. But he simply wasn't a PL quality player.

I'd say this has been an unexpected triumph regardless of the pending graphwork.

Im not even sure how you can assess their character apart from what you see when they're playing. Its not like you meet them socially is it?
I would say whether you like a player or not depends on whether you rate them as a footballer.

So, taking that into account, Im gonna say indifferent to all the characters, Dislike Pog and Guthrie, Like the rest and No to Rodgers' sacking.

That's why I think it's pretty stupid when folk say they hate/dislike one of our players. All they have to go on is negligible media garbage. Guthrie a good example; we don't and probably never will know what went on there but most Reading fans "detest" him.

Weird.
