That's kind of why I said it. I used to reply to that thread, but then he started acting all "ooh, I've got a rating system on TFC, it says what people really feel about players".
Keeps using it to argue that Romero is not much better than Dier, among other things. Him and

have been at it for weeks lolThat's your chance to discuss why it's a 6 rating, not a 7 or 8 and the reasons why.
Debate is good, shutting down debate or devaluation of it is destructive.
It might seem about numbers but that's just the measure. It's why it's the number that's important.

My ratings system is what I need to arrive at a rating. Its not necessarily better than anything else. I thought some people might like to know how I construct the rating. One guy in the USA wanted to participate but didn't because he wasn't confident his ratings were accurate or representative. So I told him how I did it to try and help.

Dier rated just above Romero last season. Via multiple sources .
Yeah, by Mr. & Mrs. Dier maybe.
How those numbers are arrived at is still arbitrary considering people would bring their own numbering system to the table, as well as bias (conscious or otherwise) and even without those things one is STILL left debating moments, culpability, the technicalities of game-play and differing ethos's.
Unless one is using a universal rating system and a uniform mindset about how the game should be assessed and broken down then an average of opinion is arbitrary.
Football will never be science..........
People have been bantering and bickering about these things in pubs for decades and that will continue (even if in this case it is on a forum instead)...... Regardless of whether you and your 'spreadsheety' 'wisdom' deem that process "destructive" or inferior or not.

Yeah, football is one of the sports least amenable to statistical analysis. A computer brute forces Chess in the 90s or something, it's very unlikely football will reach that point in our lifetime... assuming we imagine a muli-agent type system of 11 AI "players".
Man's out here trying to act like he's a statistician.
I have laid out what the sources are.
Just giving a broad representation rather than a gut instinct or a perception.
Football will never be science. ? I think you'll find many are making a science of it way beyond compiling ratings.
Ok I'm saying it...I think if he was given a run of games Sanchez is a tiny bit less crap than Eric. But only in the Aids vs cancer kind of way.
Sanchez is more brainless than a coward though and is a good athlete!
Thats not what I said.
No shit, Sherlock.
Well done, you made it through a post without using the word gimp.
Knife and fork next
Was that after 3 bottles of Portuguese Red?
You did your own research.
